What is Child-Centred Play Therapy? In play therapy, toys are like the child's words and play is the child's language.
Great Southern OccuPlay is a private Occupational Therapy practice providing child-centred play therapy and one on one person centered therapy whilst supporting families and communities in Kojonup and Katanning region. CCPT is a theoretically-based, age appropriate approach to child therapy that builds on the normal communication style of children. Specially trained therapists strategically use play therapy to help children express what is troubling them when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and feelings. Children often aren't developmentally ready to communicate their thoughts and feelings with words, particularly in relation to difficult situations. Children who have engaged with play therapy develop many skills:
- Become more responsible for behaviours and actions
- Develop new and creative solutions to problems
- Develop respect and acceptance of self and others
- Learn to experience and express emotions
- Learn new social skills and relational skills with family
- Develop empathy and respect for self and others
