PLAY THERAPY EILISH BURNS  Play Therapy is an effective therapy that helps children modify their behaviours, clarify their self-concept and build healthy relationships. In Play Therapy children enter into a dynamic relationship with the therapist that enables them to express, explore and make sense of their difficult and painful experiences. Play Therapy helps children find healthier ways of communicating, develop fulfilling relationships, increase resilience and facilitate emotional literacy (BACP). I offer non directive Play Therapy to children and young people from age 3 upwards in Ballybot House and I also offer Play Therapy group work in the school setting. Play Therapy can help with a variety of issues and life experiences including attachment, abuse, trauma, family breakdown, domestic violence, grief, anxiety and depression. It can be of help to children who have learning difficulties, ADHD or ASD or whose behaviour and anger are becoming problematic.
