"Play is the work of childhood" - Jean Piaget

Children communicate best through play, drawing, or movement. Before they have the words to express themselves, they use play to process their thoughts and feelings.

At Coghlan Psychotherapy, we use play therapy to work with your child. We create a safe space where difficult feelings like worry, anxiety, sadness, grief, and more can be explored.
