Theraplay® is a playful, attachment-focused therapy designed to strengthen relationships between children and caregivers. It is based on healthy patterns of interaction that support emotional security and connection.
Theraplay® focuses on four essential qualities: structure, engagement, nurture and challenge. These elements support trust, emotional regulation, self-esteem and relational safety, helping children feel more secure within their relationships.
Sessions are interactive, active and relational, often involving shared play between the child and caregiver. Activities are carefully guided by the therapist and designed to promote positive connection, shared enjoyment and emotional attunement.
Caregivers play an active role in sessions and are supported to develop confidence, understanding and stronger emotional connection with their child.
