What is Play and Creative Arts Therapy?

Play and Creative Arts Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses play to help children and young adults deal with emotional and mental health issues. This takes place in sessions with an Accredited Play Therapist (PTUK).

Why do children and young adults have Play and Creative Arts Therapy?

Creating a safe place for play can support a child in their emotional development.

How does Play and Creative Arts Therapy work?

The Play Therapist uses a ‘toolkit’ of creative arts media and toys to facilitate the child expressing their feelings and life experiences. This takes place in one-to-one sessions with the therapist.
