It uses a non-directive approach in allowing children to feel safe to explore the issues that trouble them without requiring verbal language to express their thoughts and emotions.

Generally effective with children from ages 3 – 12 years old, play therapy is a means for the clients to express their inner self and feelings through a natural and self-healing process.

When clients are playing with toys (figurines, puppets etc), the therapist will observe and accompany the child accordingly.

When there is a good interpersonal relationship between the child and the therapist, the powers of play become very effective for resolving inner conflicts.

Parents commitment and cooperation is very important in ensuring the success of the therapy.
