If you are a parent or carer

Therapeutic play, (including play therapy) , is a well established discipline based upon a number of psychological theories. Research, both qualitative and quantitative shows that it is highly effective in many cases. Recent research by PTUK, an organisation affiliated to PTI, suggests that 71% of the children referred to play therapy will show a positive change.  If you are a parent or carer interested in how play therapy may help your child please visit How Does Play Therapy Work.

If you are a potential service user

Finding therapeutic help for children with emotional, behaviour and mental health problems can be found by contacting an independent play therapist or practitioner (for which you will have to pay a fee) or by using a therapist whose services are fully or partly funded by local authority children’s, education, social, or health services, a charity or some other agency. If you are a potential service user please visit: Finding Help.
