Child Centred Play therapy (CCPT) is developmentally appropriate, evidence based practice, which uses the unique benefits of play for healing and thrive. The Play Therapist provides children with a comfortable, trust and safe environment. This allows little people to express, regulate, communicate, practice and master new skills as well as their emotional responses using the power of play (David E
lkind, 2007). Through utilising a range of specialised therapeutic responses, The Play Therapist assists the child to move towards the issues that are challenging them, work through them and come out the other side having integrated their experience. Through this process the child has improved resilience and coping strategies that allow for a more positive outlook going forward. When children are more connected to themselves, it helps them build their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth (Landreth, 2002). For more information visit: https://www.a4pt.org
