Services include counselling and psychological therapy, case management and non-residential withdrawal. Play therapy is offered for children betwee the age of 5 – 12 years.
Play Therapy provides a warm, caring environment where children feel safe to explore and express themselves. Being in a setting with unconditional acceptance yet realistic limits helps the child to develop their self-worth and better understand boundaries.
Child-Centered Play Therapy allows the child to lead and progress as they feel ready. This specific form of play therapy trusts in the child’s ability to grow, learn and regulate.
The therapist’s role in play therapy is to reflect a child’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors back to them. This helps children to better understand and accept themselves.
