What is Child Centred Play Therapy (CCPT)?

Child Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) is an evidence based, developmentally appropriate approach to assisting children aged 4-12 who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioural and relational difficulties.

CCPT combines the natural language of children (play) with the power of a healthy, safe therapeutic relationship to allow children to experience unconditional acceptance, empathy and understanding. This modality allows a child to express their thoughts and feelings through play when they don’t otherwise have the ability to do so with words.

What are the advantages of CCPT?

CCPT is a child centred therapy modality providing a safe place for children to work through diificulties. CCPT can result in a child developing an increased sense of self responsibility, self awareness and seeking more independent solutions to their own problems.

Through CCPT children can increase their acceptance of others and themselves while learning how to appropriately express their emotions and experiences. CCPT can also help a child to learn new ways to socially relate, improve empathy and respect for others.

NB: This isn’t a short term therapy model with the average recommended number of sessions being 20 with every 6th session involving parental consultation to ensure adequate inclusivity and support for parents.
