WHAT IS PLAY THERAPY?

Sometimes children don’t have the words to explain how they feel — especially when they are living with medical experiences, hospital visits, worries or big emotions. https://heartheroes.co.uk/pages/play-therapy

At Heart Heroes, play therapy gives children a safe, supportive space to:

- Express feelings
- Build confidence
- Work through worries
- Explore emotions through play
- Feel understood and supported

Through toys, creativity, storytelling and connection, children can process experiences in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them.

Every child deserves to feel heard, valued and empowered.
