| Thank you for visiting the Childplayworks website.
Here you will be able to find information about Play Therapy (what it is, who it helps, why it is helpful) as well as information on Child Centered Play Therapy training programmes.
Child Centered Play Therapy is a very respectful and specialised way of working with children. It is based on solid theory and is one of the most thoroughly resarched theoretical models of play therapy. Child Centered Play Therapy: - holds a sincere philosophical belief in a child's innate capacity to strive towards growth and maturity
- facilitates inner emotional growth and a child's belief in themselves, through the unique therapeutic relationship built between the therapist and the child
- is 'non-directive' - child led but adult-facilitated.

Child Centered Play Therapy is not an eclectic approach and is not technique-driven. Rather it is an attitude, a philosophy, and a way of being with children.
Childplayworks considers play to be:
- the natural world of a child, and essential for healthy development
- the ideal environment in which to meet and communicate with a child who needs help.
Childplayworks is pleased to offer Child Centered Play Therapy training programmes in New Zealand.
