Theraplay and Life Story work

Theraplay is a special type of evidence-based play therapy that can improve children’s emotional development and behaviour using joyful play and sensitive caregiving. It focuses on strengthening key adult relationships with a child, enhancing a sense of connection and mutual understanding. Therapeutic life story work is an approach that helps children and young people talk and learn about their life experiences with the help of a trusted adult. It allows them to understand more about their life and helps them become more aware of their emotions towards the people who have been significant in their lives.
