A Transformative Approach

Theraplay

Our approach is designed to strengthen the connection between children and their parents or caregivers, setting the stage for improved mental health and emotional resilience.

What is Theraplay?

Joyful. Engaging. Effective.

Theraplay is a form of active, attachment-based play that enhances the relationship between a child and their caregiver. It is a personal, warm, and involved approach to addressing a child’s behavioural and emotional difficulties. By engaging in playful, nurturing activities, children and caregivers build stronger bonds, helping the child to thrive and overcome challenges.

The Theraplay Difference:

Theraplay sessions are active, fun, and designed to elicit positive emotions and behaviours from the start.

This approach is suitable for children of all ages and abilities and is particularly impactful for those who have experienced trauma or have attachment issues.

We involve parents and caregivers directly in the therapy, as active participants or as observers, to ensure that the benefits of Theraplay extend into the home and everyday life.

We work closely with caregivers to understand the child’s needs, helping to foster a nurturing environment that promotes the child’s growth and development.
