Play Therapy
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
