TheFamilyPsychologist Ltd

Play Therapy is based on the theory that playing is a child's natural way of learning, communicating and making sense of the world around them. It is a non-directive and child centred form of therapy where the child leads and the therapist follows. 

Play Therapy can be used as a theraputic method to help a child cope with emotional stress and trauma. It allows a child to express and ultimately resolve underlying issues that are causing them problems at home or school. 

Common types of problems that play therapy can help with include;

• divorce, separtion and confliction
• having witnessed domestic violence
• trauma, incluing physical, emotional and sexual abuse
• being in care
• stressful experiences such as loss of a loved one 

Play Therapy consists of using all the creative arts to allow a child to channel their energy, anxieties, fears and problems into play, in a safe place with the help of a therapist.It is a means of helping a child express what they cannot put into words.  

This could include;

• visualisation
• story telling
• role play
• movement 
• art 

Sessions at The Family Psychologist would take place in a quiet and relaxed room at our clinic in Kidderminster. 

Cost: £60 per 45 minute session
