Creative Parent Coaching
Creative Parent Coaching integrates play therapy and creative therapy techniques to help parents reflect on their own experiences and enhance their parenting skills. During these sessions, parents engage in play-based and creative activities that allow them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive environment.
They also learn practical tools and strategies rooted in play therapy to use with their children, such as using games, storytelling, and role-playing to foster emotional connection and communication.This approach empowers parents to better understand their child's needs, manage challenging behaviors, and build a more nurturing relationship, ultimately supporting the child's emotional and psychological development.
At the Play Therapy Centre in Dubai, we utilize an Integrative, Child-Centered Play Therapy approach, placing our clients at the heart of our care. Our Play Therapy rooms are equipped with toys and resources that adhere to standards set by Play Therapy International and are guided by Axline's principles. Axline's principles emphasize creating a safe, accepting environment where children feel free to express themselves without judgment. This approach allows children to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace, fostering self-awareness, emotional growth, and resilience.
