Play Therapy

Play therapy is accessible across all age ranges in therapy. 

In particular regard to Children's play therapy, Bay Counselling offer 1-1 support to children aged 4-11 which aims to assist in emotional regulation, working through trauma, family changes (divorce/separation/adoption/fostering) and communication difficulties - for example.

 

Play integrates play; drawing, painting, toys, playdough, creating, crafts, story telling and writing...all manner of play. And it is through play that we are able to observe a child's behaviour and emotional needs.

 

Sessions are not 'sit and talk' , but rather immersive and a process in developing trust and openness from the child. An initial 6 week minimum booking is required. 

 

As with CYP, initial and post-sessions meeting with parents is required to assist with establishing needs and reflecting on a level of observation.
