The Play Room

Play Therapy sessions take place in the play room, which is either located within a child's school or in private therapy space.  The play room contains a Play Therapy Tool-kit which includes toys from several different categories for children to choose to play with.  The sessions are primarily child led, meaning that the child chooses from the areas of the tool-kit and plays how they would like to.

Arts and Crafts

There is a selection of arts and crafts materials including paint, coloured pencils, decorative paper, glue, tape and stickers.  Children may get a bit messy at these sessions, there are aprons available, but it is best not to send them to Play Therapy in their best clothing.

Sand Tray and symbols

There are two sand trays, one with dry sand and one with wet sand.  There are also a variety of different symbols that fit into categories such as people, wild animals, domestic animals, buildings, mythical creatures and trees.

Sensory play 

Sensory toys are very beneficial for children to play with and there are different types of sensory dough and clay available to play with.
