Child Parent Relationship Therapy

Parent/Carers of 3-11 year olds
Contact Time for you

'Enter into children's play and you will find the place where their minds, hearts, and souls meet' - Virginia Axline  (psychologist & founder of non-directive play therapy)

What is Child Parent Relationship Therapy?

Child Parent Relationship Therapy is a Filial Therapy model, delivered over 10 sessions to parent/carers. Unlike many 'parenting programmes' that focus on problematic behaviours and discipline techniques, Child Parent Relationship Therapy focuses upon enhancing the child-parent attachment relationship and communicating using play as children's primary language.

In Child Parent Relationship Therapy, parent/carers are taught non-directive play skills to use with their child at home for just 30 minutes each week during special structured play times. Using a kit of carefully selected toys, parent/carers can help their child express themselves through play, as the child leads and the parent/carer follows. Parent/carers learn how to communicate through play, respond empathically to their child's feelings, build their child's self-esteem, help their child learn self-control and self-responsibility, and to set therapeutic limits within the play times.  

Who is Child Parent Relationship Therapy for?

Child Parent Relationship Therapy is suitable for parent/carers of children aged 4-11 years. Child Parent Relationship Therapy is typically delivered to parent/carers in small groups to utilise the support of a group dynamic, however it is possible to deliver Child Parent Relationship Therapy to individuals.

Child Parent Relationship Therapy can benefit any parent-child relationship and can act as a preventive measure as well as helping parent/carers who are struggling with their child due to difficult relationships or challenging life experiences.
