Every school holidays, we offer an intensive Group Play Therapy program. Based on Integrative Play Therapy approaches, we develop and facilitate tailored and unstructured therapy groups to meet the unique needs of all children attending.

 

Sessions run for 1-hour every day for 5 days and have a maximum of 6 children - one therapist to every two children.  

​

Each group is designed thoughtfully to include children with a range of presenting needs and goals. This 'mix' of group members gives children the opportunity to experience therapeutic benefits from supported 'peer modelling' - that is, the opportunity to spend time with, and around, others who may have varying and unique strengths and difficulties. This allows children to gain from time with peers and with play therapists. 

​

Whilst intensive group play therapy is not suitable for all children, it may provide your child with a good 'therapeutic dose' or boost towards the development of play skills and social skills or enhance confidence and self-esteem.

 

If you think that the intensive group play therapy would suit your child, get in touch to find out more and for an initial screen.
