Therapeutic support for children
Gerrards Cross, Seer Green, Beaconsfield, The Chalfonts, Amersham and South Bucks.
When a child begins a journey into therapy it is because the adults around them recognise the time has come to reach out for specialist help, whatever the reason. Play Therapy is a highly effective, clinically proven form of child psychotherapy. Developed worldwide as a result of decades of evidence based research. It is rooted in theoretical knowledge of how children think, feel, respond, react and process emotions. Play Therapy offers children an opportunity to take time to explore what's happening in their lives.
Every child can benefit from Play Therapy in one way or another. Play is at the heart of how children communicate and learn about the world around them. It can make sense of thoughts and feelings they don’t yet have appropriate words to describe. The Play Therapy room provides a safe, welcoming space with no pressure, demand or expectations. This allows freedom to process who they are at their own pace, uninhibited.
When we focus on our strengths rather than our challenges, powerful changes emerge when given time, the tools and opportunity. It's important to remember that therapeutic work isn't a 'quick fix'. It is a process that can require time and patience to achieve best outcomes.
Let's start on this new first step into understanding how to help your child.....
