Therapists at the Rainbow Tree are very experienced in working with children who have suffered or witnessed abuse and are also able to support parents and carers who are supporting these young people.

Abuse and violence, suffered or endured has an effect on a child emotionally, cognitively, socially and on their connection to self. Play therapy can support children in

* greater capacity to understand, articulate and regulate emotions. With better awareness of positive self expression of their emotions.

* processing their traumatic experiences, integrating these memories into self

* building their self esteem, self awareness and confidence to form identity, increase self efficacy and understand their worth

* gaining the ability to identify their own needs, self expression of those needs in a positive way and learning to rely on caregivers to meet their needs and reduce pseudo independence

* being able to understand and assert healthy boundaries in relationships, especially care givers where violence has been experienced or witnessed.
