The main aim of play therapy is to facilitate the child’s growth as s/he plays. Play therapy is generally employed with children aged 3 through 11 years old. Play therapy can be directive or non-directive. It provides a way for children to express their experiences and feelings in a natural, self-guided manner. It is a means of expressing how they feel through play. A trained Play Therapist or Psychologist sits with the child and watches him/her as s/he plays. This allows the child to express his/her emotional difficulties and traumatic experiences symbolically through play.
