Play Therapy

Play Therapy is a psychological approach that enables children to express their feelings, thoughts, and experiences through play, toys, role-playing, creative activities, and more. It enhances emotional awareness and regulation, improves social skills, and fosters personal growth and development.
 

This therapy is well-suited for children grappling with emotional or behavioral issues, providing a secure playroom environment where they can comfortably convey their thoughts and emotions without using words. 

Why is Play Therapy needed?

Children often encounter challenges when trying to express their emotions and troubles in words, especially when dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, and similar circumstances. Play therapy provides a safe environment for children to communicate their feelings through play, eliminating the need for conventional language. This diminishes their resistance to emotional expression, allowing them to naturally convey their thoughts and feelings.

 

Play therapy assists children in managing emotions and distress, finding solutions to problems, while also boosting emotional awareness and regulation, social skills, self-esteem, and promoting personal growth and development.

HKCEXAT provides non-directive play therapy, a psychological counseling approach that prioritizes children's autonomy and self-expression. In the process, children take the lead by choosing games that interest them. While they play, therapists observe their actions and expressions, and reflect on their play experiences together. This approach helps children develop a deeper self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving abilities.
