This type of therapy is aimed at children who may need a little support or may have experienced unpleasant events in their life. Play therapy helps children to express themselves, explore their thoughts and feelings and come to a better understanding of their life experiences. Children are consistently expressing themselves through play and therefore is a natural activity for them. This will allow them to learn, explore and communicate and therefore is considered highly effective for helping children to play out what they may be finding difficult to express through words.
