A Therapeutic Play session is one hour long, held once a week at a time agreed by the parents/carers, the child/young person and the Therapeutic Play Practitioner. During the session the child/young person is allowed to use the play/art materials provided however s/he chooses to use within certain limits of safety. The Therapeutic Play Practitioner reflects back what the child/young person is doing and engages with her/him in non-directive play if invited. This allows the child/young person to explore feelings and situations in her/his own time and method, gain awareness of her/his inner world and how s/he impacts the world around her/him.
