What is this service?
A child can project their inner world using different areas of the Play Therapy toolkit (toys).
I use a child centered approach which is non-directive based on the belief of a child’s capacity and resiliency. This facilitates a child to self direct and grow in self responsibility. I complement this approach weaving in a directive approach when I assess the child needs this.
Children can accept difficult parts of themselves through play and make sense of traumatic experiences at their own pace. Whilst alongside a reflective therapist who is non-judgmental and accepts the child as they are.
