Kids Play Therapy at Rene Health Clinic

What Is Play Therapy?
At Rene Health Clinic, we recognize that mental health support for children requires a thoughtful, age-appropriate approach. Play therapy is a specialized form of mental health counselling designed specifically for children. Just as adults use words to process emotions in therapy, children use play. It is their natural language and a powerful tool for self-expression.

Play therapy provides children with a safe and supportive space where they can explore emotions, express themselves, and make sense of difficult experiences—using toys, art, storytelling, and imaginative play. Through guided play, children can communicate feelings they may not have the words for, allowing our trained therapists at Rene Health Clinic to help them work through issues such as anxiety, grief, trauma, behavioural challenges, and family transitions.

 

How Play Therapy Supports Mental Health
Our play therapy sessions aim to foster emotional resilience, improve communication skills, and encourage healthy coping strategies. Children who participate in play therapy often experience:

  • Reduced anxiety and emotional distress

  • Improved self-esteem and confidence

  • Positive changes in behaviour and social skills

  • Stronger emotional connections with caregivers and peers

At Rene Health Clinic, we are committed to supporting your child’s mental health and overall well-being. Our mental health professionals tailor each play therapy session to your child’s unique needs, helping them grow, heal, and thrive in a compassionate and nurturing environment.
