Play therapy is a type of psychotherapy that uses the medium of play to help children express their thoughts and feelings.

Sometimes the counsellor will use puppets or sandboxes or play therapy to allow the child to tell their own story. In a safe trusting environment, the child can find their way towards emotional health.

Children can experience various challenges that can impact their mental health. Therapy can offer children a safe space and a listening ear while providing different tools and skills to support them in creating change and alleviating distressing emotions and feelings.

Other family members are offered suggestions to support the child with their challenges.
