Play therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses play to help children express emotions, communicate, and support their emotional, cognitive, and social development. It provides a safe, structured environment where children can freely express themselves through toys, games, and creative activities.

Who Uses It?
Play therapy is mainly used with children and adolescents facing emotional or social difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or behavioural issues. It also helps children with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, and other conditions affecting emotional or social growth.

What Does It Do?
Play therapy offers several benefits, including:

• Emotional Expression and Regulation: Helps children express and manage emotions, promoting emotional intelligence and resilience.
• Trauma Recovery: Allows children to process trauma through play, helping them understand and heal from painful experiences.
• Social Skills Development: Structured play teaches children vital skills like sharing, listening, and cooperation.
• Behavioural Issues and Problem-Solving: Addresses behavioural problems, helping children develop conflict-resolution skills and self-regulation.
• Boosting Self-Esteem: Builds children’s confidence by giving them decision-making power in their sessions.
• Family and Interpersonal Relationships: Involves parents in strengthening family bonds and improving understanding of the child’s emotions.
