Play Therapy is for children experiencing emotional, social or behavioural difficulties. It helps children through both common childhood struggles and more serious concerns.
Hello, I'm Marie - the Play Therapist at Chrysalis Play Therapy. My home in Northland provides a welcoming, neutral space for children (3-12 yrs) to come to for play therapy. Play therapy helps children to express and work through their difficult feelings, thoughts and experiences and to find healthy ways to manage or let go of what’s troubling them so they can experience greater happiness and strength.
Why PLAY therapy? Children are able to express more through play than they are able to with words. Children don't develop the ability to think abstractly until around the age of 11 or 12 so toys provide a tangible way for children to work through their struggles. The world of play feels safe and so empowers children to explore difficult issues that feel too challenging to deal with in other ways.
