Play - The Language of Children

At Play to BE Therapy, our counselling services are grounded in the principles of Child-Centred Play Therapy. Unlike adults, children are not developmentally equipped to fully express complex emotions or experiences, making traditional talk therapy less effective for them. Instead, children naturally communicate and process their inner world through play. That’s why we use play as the primary therapeutic tool—it meets children where they are. When a child feels stuck in overwhelming emotions or unhelpful behaviours, Child Centred Play therapy offers a safe, developmentally appropriate way to explore, learn, heal, and grow.

Play based counselling is recommended for children experiencing a variety of issues including

  • ADHD, ODD and PDA

  • Autism Spectrum Disorders

  • Divorce or Family Changes

  • Childhood Anxiety

  • Behavioural Difficulties

  • Grief

  • Therapy Refusal

  • Emotional Cognition Development

  • Trauma

  • Low Self Esteem

  • Power Struggles

  • Sadness and Low Mood

  • Social Skills Development
