Why play?
Play is a symbolic way of communicating for children and
adults alike.
Play allows children to:
· identify feelings and emotions
· practice different roles in life
· develop their physical skills
· find out what they like and do not like
· have fun, relax and enjoy themselves
· express themselves and explore experiences safely
· develop and master new skills
It is usual to recommend a minimum of 12 sessions

Play Therapy is not be a quick fix intervention.
