Play Therapy
This workshop provides attendees with a good understanding of Play Therapy and its use as a creative therapeutic approach in working with abuse and trauma. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the historical development of Play Therapy and its key theoretical underpinnings.
Connected to this will be presented theory on child development, attachment, neuroscience, and neurodiversity. This will be balanced with an experiential ‘play’ involving sand tray, puppets, drama, and music and will be aligned with the theory discussed, with an opportunity to explore key case studies.
The workshop is designed for counsellors/therapists who are interested in what Play Therapy is and how it can be used to support people who have experienced abuse and trauma. It is also for people who are generally interested in the creative therapy world.
