Children often communicate their emotions through play rather than words. Play therapy, guided by a trained psychotherapist, provides a safe and supportive space where children can explore their thoughts and emotions, helping them work through trauma, anxiety, or behavioral difficulties.
At Vitality Rehab Group, our expert psychotherapists use play therapy to help children build emotional resilience and develop coping strategies tailored to their unique needs.

Play therapy is more than just playing—it is a structured and evidence-based approach that helps children:
- Express emotions in a safe environment – Encouraging children to communicate their feelings without fear.
- Develop problem-solving skills – Helping them navigate social and emotional challenges.
- Improve behavioral responses – Teaching them appropriate ways to manage anger, frustration, and stress.
- Strengthen self-confidence – Supporting positive self-image and self-worth.
- Enhance social interactions – Teaching children how to build friendships and relate to others.

What Happens in a Play Therapy Session?
During a session, a psychotherapist creates a comfortable space where a child can engage in various play-based activities, such as:
- Creative Play – Drawing, storytelling, or role-playing to express emotions.
