The experienced play therapists at Be Centre help children to make sense of the situations and events they face. Children can safely explore and express their feelings, restoring their trust and building self-confidence.

Play therapy is child-centred, and is a safe and gentle approach to help children facing difficult situations. This is a powerful early intervention tool, with sessions usually run over 12 weeks. Real, powerful changes in life outcomes can be achieved by treating trauma when children are young.
