Theraplay is a playful, family based therapy that focuses on strengthening the bond between parent and child, through playful, therapist led activities. It is designed to build trust, enhance self-esteem, and help families with managing emotions and regulation. It can help bring joy and connection to the parent child relationship.

In sessions, a therapist guides the parent or caregiver in playful games that focus on four dimensions: structure, engagement, nurture, and challenge. 

Theraplay can be used with children of all ages from before birth to late teens. Theraplay is adaptable to all disabilities and needs. It can be helpful where a parent has experienced post natal depression, or a separation, it can be used with children who have experienced trauma or normal development.
