Why Play Therapy ?

Complementary Therapists Accredited Association – CTAA – UK

Play therapy is a form of psychotherapy primarily for kids working through emotions and mind.  It helps kids to express themselves and learn about the world through their natural love of play. 

Play therapy helps young children express their emotions and process their experiences through a variety of creative and explorative activities

The therapist guides a person through play therapy in a comfortable, safe environment using play activities such as painting, dancing, and playing board games. On need basis we involve other family members, parents, siblings etc. to get involved in the playtime activities.

Play therapists gain valuable insights through observation. For instance, they may observe how a child handles separation from their caregiver, explores toys, or acts out stories.

Play Therapy helps kids to

  1. Understand and express their feelings in a healthy way
  2. Regulate their emotions
  3. Communicate more effectively
  4. Improve their problem-solving skills
  5. Learn better social skills and behaviours
  6. Better connect with parents
  7. Process stressful or traumatic experiences

Initial Sensing & Building Rapport

We listen to the issues of the client. Gives the client a safe platform to express their problems. The counsellor understands both verbal and non-verbal communications of the client. They both create the rapport and build a positive relationship. It’s the foundation laid for future sessions. 

Assessment

We assess the problem statement of the client, analyse it and understand the severity of the issue. This includes the triggers, frequency, environment, and other factors inducing the discomfort for the client.

Setting Objectives

This stage we set the objectives in collaboration with the client. This will be a time bound realistic one with the client committing to a step leading to an agreed outcome. 

Intervention

We work on the intervention to be applied to achieve the objectives. Based on the assessment and the present condition of the client, we decide on the interventions to be applied. It would be a therapeutic intervention in a non-medical environment.

Evaluation

Drawing the process to a close must be planned well in advance to ensure a positive conclusion is reached between the therapists / counsellors and the client. At times the process may an ongoing process which the client will be continuing on their own.

Do you have

Any Questions

Teletherapy can take place via a videocall. Most clients and therapists prefer video, because it allows you and your provider to see each other’s facial expressions and other body language. You can use a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer for video therapy. Any device you use must have a working camera and microphone, as well as a strong internet connection. Be sure to check your equipment before your appointment. Your voice will be audible in your own environment, but you can use headphones if you want to prevent others from overhearing your therapist’s side of the conversation.
Each therapy practice has its own approach to privacy and security. Ask your therapist what steps they take to protect client data, including session notes. At Manam the therapy is done in a non- clinical environment only. We also assure safe and secured environment to the clients. If you are a minor, then you would be allowed to attend the session with a proper approval from your parents / Guardians only. We will be conducting our sessions in a quiet, private place. If you have any concerns about privacy, express them to your coach / Therapist and shall ask them to stop the session.
Convenience: Going to a physical office takes time as you sit in traffic or in a waiting room. Beyond your therapist’s fee, traditional therapy sessions also cost you money in gas, vehicle maintenance, public transportation fees, and time off work. With online coaching, you can schedule your appointment when it’s most convenient for you and have your session without leaving your home. Safety: Online coaching / Therapy offered safe access to mental health services during the pandemic, but its safety benefits extend beyond avoiding infectious diseases. Accessibility: Online Therapy can be an accessible option if you have a disability or severe mental health condition that makes travel challenging, such as social anxiety or agoraphobia. Remote counselling also makes it simpler to receive mental health services if you don’t have an option for transportation. Variety of choice: Online coaching opens up your options for choosing the right coach. Instead of being limited to a local provider, you can consider a wider range of coaches / Therapists licensed to work in your place.
Technology barriers: Video therapy requires resources like a computer, video camera, phone, and internet connection. It also requires the ability to use those resources effectively. For some people, these requirements are barriers to treatment. Lack of privacy: It may be difficult to find a quiet, private place for therapy where you live, especially if you share a home with others. You’ll also want to make sure your therapist is using a secure online video platform. Emotional disconnection: Asking for help is a brave and vulnerable act, and seeking therapy is no exception. That’s why it’s important for you to feel safe and connected with your coach / Therapist. Beyond possibly losing internet access during a session, you may also find it difficult to connect emotionally with your coach if you haven’t met them in person
Find a quiet space: Pick a spot in your home where you won’t be disturbed. If that isn’t possible, consider sitting in your parked car or another quiet space. Speak with family/housemates: Before your appointment, speak with your family or housemates about any privacy concerns you may have. Set clear boundaries by letting them know that you’re not to be interrupted during a session. Also state directly that eavesdropping is a breach of trust. Test your devices: Confirm that your smartphone, tablet, or laptop is fully charged before your appointment. Test your internet connection, camera, and microphone to make sure all three are working.
