CHILD THERAPY
PLAY THERAPY-INFORMED SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN
Play is one of the most natural ways children communicate. Through toys, games, stories, movement, art, and imagination, children can express feelings and experiences they may not yet have words for.
At Island Park Therapy, play therapy-informed support may include creative expression, relationship-based work, emotion identification, nervous system awareness, coping tools, parent collaboration, and age-appropriate cognitive and behavioural strategies.
Sessions may include:
PLAY-BASED AND SANDTRAY THERAPY
Play, toys, miniatures, sandtray, and imaginative activities can help children explore emotions, experiences, and challenges in a way that feels natural, safe, and less pressured than talking alone.
ART AND CREATIVE EXPRESSION
Drawing, painting, crafts, stories, and other creative activities can help children express feelings they may not yet have words for.
ATTACHMENT-INFORMED AND RELATIONSHIP=FOCUSED WORK
We focus on building trust, connection, and safety, while supporting stronger relationships between children and caregivers.
EMOTION INDENTIFICATION AND REGULATION SKILLS
Children may learn to notice feelings in their bodies, name emotions like worry, anger, sadness, or frustration, and practise tools for calming and coping.
PARENT SUPPORT AND COLLABORATION
Caregivers are part of the process. Parent sessions or check-ins may help you better understand your child’s needs and support change at home.
COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIOURAL STRATEGY
For older children, we may use simple CBT-informed tools to help them notice thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and build coping skills for home and school.
