“Toys are children’s words, and play is their language”
Gary Landreth
Why Play?
“Play therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child’s natural medium of self-expression. It is an opportunity which is given to the child to ‘play out’ their feelings and problems, just as in certain adult therapy the individual ‘talks out’ their difficulties.'“
Virginia Axline
Benefits of Play Therapy:
The Australian Play Therapists Association (APTA) says:
“Play therapy is an effective technique used in child counselling or psychotherapy to assist children with their emotional development. It is a globally recognised and established method of working with children, formed from the psychodynamic and humanist traditions.”
Wise Heart Playroom
With a client-led & trauma-informed approach, Carole provides children with a purpose-designed play space, offering attractive modes of play for children of all ages.
With stimulating sensory toys, tools, games and objects, each child is encouraged to explore what appeals to them, while Carole gently interacts, reflects and provides insight and understanding into any emotions that may arise. Check out our Play Therapy Resources here.
