Fritz Perl's Gestalt Play Therapy

Fritz Perl's Gestalt Play Therapy is a client-centered approach that uses play as a natural way for children to express their feelings and discover solutions. It emphasizes present-moment awareness, encouraging children to explore their emotions through toys, art, and activities, helping them understand and manage their experiences. The therapist facilitates a safe, supportive environment where children can process challenges, build self-awareness, and develop healthier behaviors by engaging actively in the play process. This method recognizes play as a vital communication tool and promotes emotional growth through a respectful, non-judgmental interaction.
