Play is how children think
What happens in play therapy?
Children rarely have the words for what is happening inside them. Asked directly how they feel, most will say fine, or shrug, or change the subject. Play is how children think, and it is how they work things through.
In play therapy, your child has:
- A quiet, consistent, unhurried space that belongs to them
- A way to process difficult experiences without having to explain them
- Room to try out new ways of seeing themselves and other people
- Practice in speaking to themselves with kindness rather than criticism
- The chance to build confidence from the inside rather than being told to have it
- Support in learning how to be with other children
My aim is to help a child build a healthy inner world, one they will carry with them long after therapy ends.
