What is play therapy?Play therapy uses a variety of toys and games specifically chosen for their expressive qualities. In this type of expressive therapy your child is given the opportunity to 'play out' life events, under the guidance of a trained therapist. Ideally suited for children, it is useful for those who have difficulty describing their emotions verbally and those who have the need to actively express themselves. Examples of the toys used include hand puppets, sandtray, dollhouse and dolls, Playmobil, Lego, toy cars and animals, dress-up clothes, simple percussion instruments and simple board games.
