Play Therapy offers children to "play out" their experiences and feelings, which is the most natural dynamic and self-healing process in which children can engage.

Play therapy is defined as a dynamic interpersonal relationship between a child and a therapist trained in play therapy procedures who provides selective play materials and facilitates the development of a safe relationship for the child to fully express and explore self (feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviours) through the child's natural medium of communication, Play.

​

Toys are used as words by children and play is their language this helps children to make sense of their world, helps them to process their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment without any judgments imposed on them, freedom to be themselves to empower themselves to make choices which can increase their self-esteem, children use play to communicate at their own level and at their own pace. Play therapy can improve the emotional well-being of children. It may be used to alleviate mild emotional or psychological problems that are preventing a child from functioning to their full potential.

Children express themselves more fully and more directly through self-initiated spontaneous play than they do verbally because they are more comfortable with play.
