Play Therapy is a type of therapy where play and art materials are used as the main way for children to express themselves.

Why Play Therapy?

• Play is a child’s natural way of understanding the world

• Play therapy provides a safe space for children to process emotions

• It promotes emotional growth, problem-solving skills, and resilience

“As the resident play therapist here at Heart Heroes, I offer child-centred play therapy - a gentle, evidence-based approach that supports children in expressing themselves through play, their natural language. While I’m currently a trainee, I work under professional supervision and with a deep commitment to each child’s emotional wellbeing. In a safe, non-judgemental space, children can explore big feelings, make sense of their experiences, and grow in confidence and resilience. At the heart of this work is a trusting therapeutic relationship, where the child leads the way and their inner world is honoured and understood.”
