Play Therapy  is non-directive (where the child leads the session, within safe boundaries), this helps children explain how they feel through play (playing with the tool-kit) as most children find it hard to talk about their problems and most of the time don't understand what they are feeling.

The play therapist uses a variety of play and creative arts techniques (the Play Therapy Tool-Kit) to alleviate chronic, mild and moderate psychological and emotional conditions in children that are causing behavioural problems and/or are preventing children from realising their potential. For example, low self-esteem, freindship difficulties, who are adopted or fostered or those who have experienced some kind of loss or bereavement, emotional or physical abuse, trauma or bullying.

The Play Therapist eventually forms a trusting therapeutic relationship with the child which helps the child to then feel comfortable to engage in the therapy of healing.
