Child-Centred Play Therapy
Humanistic child-centred play therapy is a compassionate and developmentally attuned therapeutic approach prioritising a child's unique needs and emotions.
​
Grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard, it provides a safe space for children to express themselves freely through play, allowing them to process and understand their thoughts and feelings.
Therapists actively listen, validate, and support the child's self-exploration, fostering self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal growth.
This approach values the child as the expert in their own experience, empowering them to navigate challenges, build resilience, and develop a stronger sense of self-esteem and well-being.

Learn to Play Therapy
Learn to Play (LTP) therapy, developed by Karen Stagnitti, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on fostering pretend play skills in children.

Pretend play is a vital developmental milestone that supports children's cognitive, social, and emotional growth. It enables them to explore various roles, express emotions, problem-solve, and understand social rules in a creative and imaginative context.
