Tele-Play Therapy
Tele-Play Therapy is an interactive and engaging form of child-centred play therapy delivered online. Using a secure video platform, children connect with a qualified therapist in a safe and familiar environment, allowing them to express emotions and work through challenges using play.
Why Tele-Play Therapy May Be Especially Beneficial
Tele-Play Therapy can be a great alternative for children who may struggle with traditional in-person therapy, including those who:
✦ Experience social anxiety - some children may feel more comfortable engaging from the familiarity and safety of home
✦ Have difficulty leaving home - ideal for children who find transitions, crowds or unfamiliar environments overwhelming
✦ Are sensitive to sensory input - home can provide a calmer and more regulated environment for children with autism, ADHD or sensory differences
✦ Live in rural or remote areas - allowing access to specialist support without extensive travel
✦ Find face-to-face interactions overwhelming - some children may engage more comfortably and confidently through a screen
✦ Have medical or mobility challenges - providing a safe and convenient alternative to in-person sessions
✦ Need flexible support - helpful for families managing busy schedules, distance or transport limitations

✦ Conducted via secure video sessions using a laptop, tablet or phone
