Family play therapy offers a compassionate and collaborative approach where both parent and child work together alongside the family therapist, fostering an environment of equality and connection. 

Unlike traditional family therapy models, which often require children to meet at their parent’s level for verbal discussions, family play therapy invites parents or carers to engage with the child through play, entering both the child’s world and that of the parent, to listen to what is unspoken and work through emotional and relational dynamics inherent within the parent-child relationship. This form of family  therapy allows both parent and child to increase their self awareness, congruency (to feel safe) and acceptance of one another, strengthening their bond through deeper understanding and connection.

Rooted in humanistic principles, attachment theory, and interpersonal neurobiology, family play therapy shares a similar theoretical foundation with Child-Centered Play Therapy. Both therapies emphasise the importance of the parent-child relationship, offering a path for families to build stronger bonds through the therapeutic process.
