Humanistic Play Therapy
Humanistic Play Therapy is a child led approach that focuses on nurturing a child's innate potential and fostering their emotional growth through play. This therapeutic method emphasizes creating a supportive and accepting environment where children feel free to express themselves and explore their feelings.
In Humanistic Play Therapy, the therapist acts as a compassionate guide rather than a director. The therapy is grounded in the belief that every child has the capacity for self-healing and growth. By providing a safe space where children can engage in play, the therapist helps them make sense of their experiences and emotions at their own pace.
This approach is effective for children dealing with social and emotional challenges, or life changes and transitions. Through play, children can communicate their inner world and work through difficulties in a natural and non-threatening way. Humanistic Play Therapy values the child's perspective, supports their autonomy, and builds on their strengths to help them develop resilience and a positive sense of self.
