Play therapy is a systematic and evidence-based approach to counselling children. In play therapy, children use play to work through their difficult or traumatic experiences.
The ultimate goal of play therapy is to help children gain insight into their emotions and behaviours, facilitating positive change and improving overall functioning.
This approach helps build skills within the child, leading to improvements in behaviour. As these improvements take place, symptoms such as acting out, aggression, physical complaints, fears, worries, withdrawal, and regression often decrease.
