What is play therapy?
Play therapy can be helpful for children who have experienced a range of emotional, developmental and behavioural difficulties in their lives. Difficult life experiences can cause anxiety, stress and confusion. Such experiences are likely to impact a child’s enjoyment of life, and their capacity to think and learn. Children may withdraw, struggle with relationships, display challenging behaviour, find it difficult to concentrate or become more controlling.
Who can refer a child for play therapy?
Referrals can come from any individual or organisation that has regular contact with children. This includes parents, guardians and primary caregivers, as well as schools, charities and other organisations.
