Our Play Therapy Room

Meets international standard

Children are provided with 3 types of toys to help them deal with emotional, behavioural, social and concentration problems.

Play is the most natural way for children to communicate, and toys become their vocabulary (Axline, 1969; Landreth, 1991)

When to seek help?

Child-Centered as principle

Acceptance, empathy, and safety are 3 growth-promoting elements for children.

Self-responsibility, self-esteem, and self-confidence are some examples of the goals of play therapy.
