Creative Steps Play Therapy mission is to provide a safe and non-judgemental therapeutic space for children and families. Creative Steps accepts every child and family the way they are as we work together to explore big feelings or experiences that are confusing to articulate and cope with. 

 

Creative Steps Play Therapy provides therapeutic support for children and young people experiencing emotional, social, behavioural and personal challenges. 

​

Creative Steps Play Therapy uses play and creative arts techniques as a therapeutic intervention. Play is integral to children's learning, development and communication. Therefore the focus is on play as it is the child's natural form of self-expression and communication.

At Creative Steps Play Therapy children have access to a range of toys and materials which they can choose from such as:

​

           > Puppets

           > Art & Crafts 

           > Sand 

           > Music & Movement 

           > Messy Play 

           > Role Play 

           > Lego & Board Games 

           > Therapeutic Stories 

               and much much more. 

 

"Toys are used like words by children, and play is their language" (Garry Landreth). 

While focusing on play, the child accepts the safe therapeutic space, begins to process and work through different feelings and emotions with the support and guidance of the Creative Steps play therapist.

Play Therapy is a positive experience for children and greatly supports them in reaching their full potential. Play Therapy helps children to build emotional awarenss, self-confidence and develop tools and coping mechanisms which they can draw upon in the future to deal with lifes ups and downs.
