During Play Therapy sessions, your child is given the opportunity to play out whatever feelings and experiences they are dealing with. These may include frustration, anger, insecurity, fear, confusion and sadness using the tools in the room symbolically. Your child will begin to realize that they have the power to be a separate individual, to make decisions and think independently.

As the therapist, I will be supporting them throughout the session by remaining by their side and allowing them the freedom to be their authentic self. With this, your child will bring their experiences or emotions to the surface, allowing them to open up, face them and be able to cope with them.

This space allows them to feel no worry with feeling whatever they may want to feel within the session. As the significant adult in their life, you will be able to gain better understanding of the struggles your child may be dealing with and feel more empowered to offer the support to encourage their healing and growth.
