CHILD-CENTRED PLAY THERAPY
In Child-Centre Play Therapy, your child will use play to explore and understand their experiences, thoughts, and feelings. As their therapist, I observe their play to gain insights into how they see the world and respond in ways that support their emotional growth, independence, self-regulation, and relationships with themselves and others. Play Therapy helps children develop new coping skills and learn how to manage challenging behaviours in a positive way.

So what is Child-Centred Play Therapy ?
Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention designed for children aged 3-10. Just as talk-based therapy helps adults process emotions, CCPT allows children to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through their most natural form of communication: play. In CCPT, children lead the play, while a post-graduate trained Play Therapist creates a safe, nurturing space that fosters emotional expression and self-discovery.
​
Using toys and creative activities, children can communicate in a way that feels comfortable to them, whether it's expressing difficult emotions or working through challenges. The therapist’s role is to guide the process non-judgmentally, ensuring that the child feels supported as they process complex feelings.
​
CCPT is particularly effective for children experiencing anxiety, trauma, behavioural issues, or significant changes such as family transitions. It helps them build emotional resilience, develop problem-solving skills, and gain a better understanding of themselves. This developmentally appropriate approach encourages healthy coping mechanisms, supporting children as they navigate life’s challenges.
