Dandelion Play Therapy

When children play, they engage every aspect of their intelligence, weaving together what they learn, know and experience. Through play, they build connections between ideas, strengthen problem-solving skills and develop emotionally and socially. #powerofplay @BAPTplaytherapy

Play therapy provides a safe space where children can process their experiences, express what’s inside and begin to heal at their own pace. This #internationalplaytherapyweek2025 we celebrate the transformative power of play. #play #playheals #playmatters @BAPTplaytherapy

#Childcentredplaytherapy is a developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive approach. It is grounded in #personcentredphilosophy and in the foundational belief that children possess an innate capacity for #resiliency, #growth and #healing #playheals @BAPTplaytherapy

In #ChildcentredPlayTherapy, child-led play in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship allows children who have experienced difficult and traumatising relationships to play out those experiences at their own pace within their window of tolerance. @BAPTplaytherapy

The Child-Centred Play Therapist authentically conveys cues of safety through an internalised way of being with the child. Adapted from #SueBratton & #alyssaswants #play #playheals #playmatters #playlowersdefenses #playlowersstress #powerofplay #playtherapy @BAPTplaytherapy

Play Therapists are like time travellers as we move back and forth in time with children, allowing their magical imagination to take us on journeys back to key developmental stages in their lives. #DavidLeVay #playheals #playmatters @BAPTplaytherapy
