Play And Creative Therapies

Play Therapy is the therapeutic use of play and creative arts. It is a form of psychotherapy/ counselling for children, teenagers and adults that facilitates expression through creative media as well as talk. Many people, especially children, do not readily have words to explain their circumstances, feelings and reasons behind their behaviour but easily express themselves through creative media and play.Creative/ Play Therapy offers a space to freely express their feelings of sadness, anger, etc without a need for explanation, explore different outcomes and feel in charge of their created worlds. This increases a sense of confidence and self-worth, facilitates healing and finding healthier coping and communication strategies. Creative/ Play Therapy provides emotional support during times of stress, offering a safe space to make sense of difficult events.
