Play Therapy

$8000/course

For children, play therapy is a journey of self-exploration, much like what counselling is to adults. The key difference lies in the mode of communication: while adults use speech, children express their feelings, needs, and desires through play, toys, and art materials. The play therapist carefully observes and understands these expressions to enter children’s inner world.

Play therapy suits children aged 3 to 10, delivered one-on-one by a professional play therapist. A typical play therapy course include a parent intake session, four play therapy sessions, and a parent consultation session. In the parent intake session, the therapist meets the parents to understand the child, the family, and the concerns of the parents.

For children who are prone to anxiety, have a low self-concept, or are facing challenges such as parental divorce, bereavement, strained peer relationships, or special eduction needs, prolonged psychological distress without appropriate support can gradually influence their self-image and interpersonal connections. Early intervention through play therapy can provide a steady anchor for these children. Research also found that play therapy is effective in reducing children's anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues, while enhancing their social and emotional regulation skills—providing a solid foundation for their future development.

If you notice that a child is frequently struggling with intense emotional fluctuations, withdrawing or hiding away, experiencing interpersonal conflicts, or feeling unsettled and lost due to life changes, it may be time to reserve a space for them to “play-out” their feelings and engage in the self-healing process.

遊戲治療

$8000/療程

對孩子而言，遊戲治療就如同成人的心理治療一樣，是一段探索自我的歷程。不同的是，成人以「說話」來溝通，兒童則通過遊戲、玩具和藝術材料表達各種不同的感覺、需要和渴望。遊戲治療師會細心觀察並理解孩子於遊戲中的表達，進入他們的內心世界。

遊戲治療適合3至10歲的兒童，由受過專業訓練的遊戲治療師以一對一形式進行。每節約 45 分鐘，整個療程一般包括首次家長訪談、4 節遊戲治療及一次親職教育面談。在開始前，治療師會與家長單獨見面，了解孩子的狀況與家庭的需要。

對一些容易焦慮擔心、自我概念較低、正面對父母離異、親人離世、與同儕關係緊張，或具有特殊學習需要的孩子來說，心理困擾若長期得不到合適的回應，往往會慢慢影響他們的自我形象與人際關係。在這樣的階段，及早介入的遊戲治療，能為孩子提供一個安全而穩定的支撐點；研究亦發現，遊戲治療有助減輕兒童的焦慮、抑鬱和行為問題，並提升他們的社交與情緒調節能力，為日後的成長打好基礎。

若你留意到孩子經常出現明顯的情緒波動、退縮躲避、人際衝突，或因生活變化而感到不安和失落，也許是時候，為他預留一個被溫柔看見的空間。
