Hello lovely parents! We know you’re always looking for the best ways to support your child’s emotional wellbeing. Today, we’d love to share how play therapy can help your little one navigate their feelings and grow into a confident, happy individual. Here in Wales, we’re passionate about supporting families through this wonderful therapeutic approach.
What’s Play Therapy All About?
Think of play therapy as giving your child a special space where they can tell their story through play – it’s rather like how we grown-ups might chat over a cuppa! In our warm, welcoming therapy rooms, children can express themselves naturally through play, helping them to:
- Share their feelings in their own special way
- Work through tricky experiences at a pace that suits them
- Build lovely confidence and self-esteem
- Make friends more easily and strengthen family bonds
Wondering if Your Child Might Benefit from Play Therapy?
As parents, we sometimes notice little changes in our children that make us wonder if they might need a bit of extra support. Here are some gentle signs to look out for:
- Changes in their sleeping or eating routines
- Feeling more worried or shy than usual
- Finding it hard to manage big feelings
- Having a tough time with friendships or family relationships
- Behaving differently after something significant has happened
What Happens in Play Therapy Sessions?
Our lovely play therapy rooms are filled with carefully chosen toys, art materials, and games. Your child will work with one of our friendly, qualified play therapists who understand exactly how to support them through play. It’s rather magical to see how children can express themselves when given the right space and support!

We believe parents are absolutely crucial to their child’s therapeutic journey. We’ll work together with you by:
- Sharing helpful tips for supporting therapy at home
