Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT)
We provide non-directive child centred play therapy at locations across Queensland and Victoria.
What is Play Therapy really all about?
Child Centred Play Therapy is a theoretically-based, age-appropriate approach to child therapy that builds on the normal communication style of children. Therapists strategically use play therapy to help children express what is troubling them when they do not have the verbal language to express their thoughts & feelings. In play therapy, toys are like the child's words and play is the child's language.
