What is play therapy?
Play therapy is a form of therapy which focuses on exploration, understanding and expression of emotions, thoughts and feelings channelized in an appropriate way. Play as a medium is intrinsically reinforcing and soothing thereby making this form of therapy exceedingly helpful in providing a suitable channel for what a child may find strenuous to otherwise communicate.
Play therapy provides the child with a fail-safe space to explore and resolve issues pertaining to any aspect that consequently leads to a growth in their overall development through promoting confidence, psychological well-being and emotional stability.
