How old should a child be to benefit from play therapy?
Children from the age of 3 years are able to benefit from play therapy. Once a child is past the age of playing comfortably (about 8 or 9 depending on the child) other methods of therapy are used including drawings, puppet work, art therapy, talking therapies and sand tray work.
How do I know that my child needs play therapy?
If there has been a change in normal behaviour your child may benefit from play therapy. This may also be true if there has been a change in life circumstances or if there has been a traumatic experience.
Do you only see children?
Both psychologists at Centapaeds also see teenagers, adults and families.
Will I get feedback on my child’s progress?
Yes feedback is given when appropriate while at the same time protecting the therapeutic relationship and the need for confidentiality.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming is a form of psychotherapy that was developed to resolve symptoms resulting from disturbing and unresolved life experiences. It uses a structured approach to address past, present and future aspects of disturbing memories.
