At Play and Beyond we  prioritise the child's autonomy, uniqueness, and trust in the therapist. Building a relationship with the child is most essential as without this,  the therapeutic journey will not be effective,

We establish a secure and non-judgmental environment for open communication. Our approach nurtures emotional connections and the meaningful link between play, thoughts, and feelings.

We aim to empower children by giving them a sense of control and agency within the therapeutic process. This helps build their self-esteem and confidence.

Play and Beyond believes empathy is a cornerstone of effective play therapy. We understand, appreciate, and share the emotions, thoughts, and experiences of all children in a nonjudgmentaland supportive manner.

Play and Beyond ensures that our services are accessible, relevant, and effective for individuals from diverse backgrounds, abilities, and identities. This involves creating a therapeutic environment that respects and values differences, and aims to provide equal opportunities for all children to benefit from their therapeutic process

At Play and Beyond, we adapt our approach to meet the individual child's needs, recognising that each child's journey is unique goes here.

At Play at Beyond we believe in collaborating with the child and the child's parents or caregivers, working together to create a supportive and healing environment for the child.

 Collaborating with parents/caregivers helps them understand their child's experiences, learn effective ways to support their child's emotional needs, and reinforce therapeutic progress outside the therapy sessions.

Just like in traditional therapy, Play and Beyond maintains a level of confidentiality, allowing children to feel secure in sharing their thoughts and feelings.
