Play Therapy | Therapy Type - West London Therapy Hub

Play therapy is often used to help enable children understand and communicate confused feelings and upsetting experiences, which may remain unprocessed, at their own level and at their own pace. Adults experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties often seek talking therapies while Play Therapy acts as a non-threatening and indirect way for children to be assisted with excessive anger, fear or worry.
