In recent years a growing number of noted mental health professionals have observed that play is as important to human happiness and well being as love and work ."Play Therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child's natural medium of self-expression. It is an opportunity which is given to the child to 'play out' his feelings and problems just as, in certain types of adult therapy, an individual 'talks out' his difficulties."The aim of play therapy is to decrease those behavioral and emotional difficulties that interfere significantly with a child's normal functioning.
Play therapy is a structured, theoretically based approach to therapy that builds on the normal communicative and learning processes of children. Through play, therapists may help children learn more adaptive behaviors when there are emotional or social skills.
A trained mental health professional, called a play therapist, works with a child to explore and resolve problems through the therapeutic use of play. Child and therapist work together in a counselling space called a playroom, which is equipped with specially chosen toys that will encourage the safe expression of feelings and also support the development of healthier behaviors.
Reasons for treatment include, but are not limited to, temper tantrums, aggressive behavior, non-medical problems with bowel or bladder control, difficulties with sleeping or having nightmares, and experiencing worries or fears. This type of treatment is also used with children who have experienced sexual or physical abuse, neglect, the loss of a family. Our occupational therapist will provide play therapy in a child friendly environment.
People experience life to the fullest through the things they enjoy doing at work, school, at home or in their communities.

Counseling adolescents is a lot different from adult counselling.
The adolescent brain is very different from an adult brain. Right from their mood, their sleep cycle, their emotions, everything is complex. They are going through a myriad of emotions and facing a lot of competition. They may at times be indifferent and next minute be overly sensitive. Parents often feel they are walking on egg shells when they have a teenager.
Often there are disputes between parents and teenagers that only adds to the issues of the teenager.
Teenagers take time to open up, but they do with the right kind of help. Teenagers need an unbiased, non judgemental approach.
Various therapies like CBT, REBT, DBT are useful in counselling teenagers. The mainstay of these therapies is to work on the core belief system.
What happens when one suffers from a psychological issue? Their mood, emotions and behaviour is affected. When this happens, it is not just the person, but it affects the family as well.
The caregiver burden in these conditions is high, leading to expressed emotions and stress and strain between family members.
Thus when we are helping children or adolescents, it is inevitable what we counsel the entire family.
We have often seen that when family members are engaged fully in the process, the outcome and prognosis is better.
