Play Therapy can help in many ways for many kids.

For those who have been diagnosed with:

Autism
ADHD
AuDHD
Global development delay
Cerebral Palsy
Down Syndrome
Other diagnosis not listed here

(If your child can play then give Play Therapy a go!)

Or those going through difficulties associated with:

Low self-esteem and self-confidence
School and social difficulties
Selective mutism
Trauma or attachment issues
Adoption and fostering
Divorce and separation
Anxiety and depression
Grief and loss
Angry and aggressive behaviours
Chronic illness
Bullying
Sexual or physical abuse
Gender variance
Sleep

A child’s natural mode of learning and expression is often play. While adults may use counselling to help them through difficulties, children can struggle with talk-based methods while their cognitive abilities and verbal skills are developing. Play Therapy recognises the healing potential in play.
