Play Therapy

At Gavalia Counselling Services, we believe play therapy is a unique and transformative approach that goes beyond regular play. In this safe and supportive environment, children are gently guided to explore and resolve their challenges. Play creates a protective psychological distance from difficult experiences, enabling children to express thoughts and emotions they may not have the words for.

 

Our therapists use play to help children develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve emotional and social skills. Through this process, children learn to communicate more effectively, express their feelings, adapt their behaviours, solve problems, and build meaningful relationships. Even the most challenging issues can be explored in play therapy, paving the way for lasting growth and empowering children with tools they can carry forward into their lives.

At Gavalia, we’re here to help children discover their strengths, foster resilience, and create meaningful change—one playful step at a time.
