WHO CAN PLAY THERAPY HELP?

• 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

​

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.
