Play therapy

is a form of psychotherapy that uses play to communicate with and help children (generally aged between 3 and 11) to prevent or resolve psychosocial challenges. It provides a way for them to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided and self-healing process.

As children’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an important vehicle for them to know and accept themselves and others. This is believed to help them towards better social integration, growth and development, emotional modulation and trauma resolution.
