What is Clinical Play Therapy?

Clinical Play Therapy at the Euphelia Clinic helps children and their families work through emotional and behavioural issues that are negatively impacting a child's development. Clinical Play Therapy engages children and their families in cycles of positive behavioural changes, supporting self-esteem, emotional intelligence and positive learning dispositions (NICHED 2002).
