Theraplay™ (attachment-based play therapy)
Rachel is qualified as a Foundational Level Theraplay Practitioner.
Theraplay is a recognised form of play therapy that fosters positive relationships and secure attachments between children and their caregivers. Guided by a practitioner, parents and children engage in playful activities that promote regulation, connection, and a sense of love, joy, and safety.
Theraplay can help:
- Children regulate emotions and expand their tolerance for stress.
- Children accept structure, directions, and rules.
- Parents support their child in managing stress.
- Parents better understand their child's facial, vocal, and gesture cues.
- Parents attune to fluctuations in their child's arousal.
Theraplay is particularly suitable for young people who have experienced trauma or attachment disruption, or who present with symptoms of ADHD, ODD, Autism or Anxiety.
