Play therapy is generally suitable for children aged 3–12 years.

Play therapy sessions are 45 minutes.

Sessions are weekly, on the same day and at the same time.

Every child is different. The length of therapy depends on your child’s individual needs and progress.

An initial commitment of 12 sessions is required to give your child time to settle, build trust and feel safe in the therapeutic relationship.
