What is Child-Centered Play Therapy?
Children don’t always have the words to tell us what they’re feeling—but they do have a language: play.
Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) gives children a safe, accepting space where they can express their feelings, explore their experiences, and work through what’s happening in their world—all through play.
Rather than directing the child or telling them how to “fix” their behaviour, the therapist follows the child’s lead, reflects their feelings, and creates a relationship built on safety, acceptance, and trust.
Through play, children can communicate what they may not yet be able to put into words.
Play is how children process their experiences, and therapists help guide this process in a meaningful way.
