Nondirective Play Therapy

Nondirective Play Therapy is a counseling approach where children are encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings through play, which is considered their natural communication. The therapist provides a safe, supportive environment without directing or guiding the child's activities, allowing the child to lead. This process helps children process emotions, solve problems, and develop coping skills indirectly, respecting their pace and perspective. It recognizes that children often communicate best through play and uses it as a tool for understanding and healing without imposing adult agendas or interpretations.
