Child therapy offers children and young people (usually between the ages of 3 to 13) the opportunity to share their difficult life experiences with someone who is outside their day-to-day life and who has the time, skills and training to help.

The aim of child therapy is to help children find ways to express, explore and make sense of their experiences in a safe and supportive environment. As play is a child's natural medium to learn, communicate and explore his/her world, this is used within the child therapy sessions as a way of helping the child to express him/herself.

By providing this level of intense support to the child, it will enable them to adjust to their life experiences and be able to move forward.
