Background Information
Originally based on the client-centred work of Carl Rogers, non-directive play therapy as it is used today was developed by Virginia Axline and theories of child development, attachment and separation. Axline introduced non-directive play therapy as a process for offering children the opportunity to play out, express and explore their inner feelings in a safe and non-judgemental environment with the support of a qualified therapeutic practitioner.
Why it Works
Play is a child’s natural medium for expression, which is particularly important to have access to when a child may find it hard to express themselves verbally. Children have a need to play or ‘act out’ their inner feelings to explore, and over time resolve, inner conflicts as well as to fully express themselves on any level of development.
How it Works
Using a carefully developed tool kit that consists of a variety of materials and creative media, a child is given the opportunity to access and safely explore their inner feelings in a safe and supportive environment through the creative materials and with the non-judgemental support of the therapeutic practitioner. Over time the child is able to develop an inner resilience and build coping strategies to take with them into their future lives, thus enabling them to access and develop their full potential.
