Child-Centred Play Therapy Brisbane
Children express things differently. We listen.
Children often aren’t developmentally ready to verbally communicate their thoughts and feelings, particularly in relation to difficult situations.
Our trained therapists strategically use play therapy to help children express what is troubling them, in a way that is more natural to them; through play. In play therapy, toys are like the child’s words and play is the child’s language.
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.
