Cognitive Behavioural Play Therapy (CBPT)

Cognitive Behavioural Play Therapy (CBPT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that combines the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with play-based techniques to support children in expressing emotions, understanding their thoughts, and learning healthy coping skills.

This approach is especially effective for children who may struggle to express themselves verbally but can communicate through play. Through CBPT, children learn to:

✔ Understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours

✔ Develop problem-solving and emotional regulation skills

✔ Improve social interactions and communication

✔ Build self-esteem and confidence

✔ Learn coping strategies to manage anxiety, anger, or behavioural challenges

CBPT is particularly beneficial for children experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, behavioural concerns, and for neurodivergent children, including those with Autism and ADHD.

The sessions are interactive, child-friendly, and developmentally appropriate, creating a safe space where learning and emotional growth happen through play.
