Play Therapy & Multi-Sensory Support for Children
“Toys are children's words and play is their language.”
— Garry L. Landreth
A Safe Space to Explore Through Play
At Northern Star Counselling, we have a team of dedicated Play Therapists offering child-centred play therapy for children aged 4–12 in Errill, Co. Laois.
Play therapy provides children with a safe and supportive space to explore feelings, experiences and challenges through their natural language of play, creativity and imagination. Our dedicated multi-sensory play therapy room has been thoughtfully designed to support exploration, expression and emotional regulation.
How Play Therapy Helps
Through play, children can communicate thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words, while developing confidence, coping skills and a greater understanding of themselves.
Play therapy may support children experiencing:
- Anxiety and worry
- Emotional regulation difficulties
- Grief and loss
- Family changes
- Trauma
- Low self-esteem
- Friendship or school difficulties
- ADHD and autism
- Other neurodivergent experiences
Our Approach
Our approach is gentle, child-led and neuro-affirming, allowing each child to engage at their own pace while being supported by a trained therapist. We work closely with parents and caregivers throughout the process, keeping you informed and involved every step of the way.
