Child-Centered Play Therapy in Bangalore
At Shelter Arms, we offer expert play therapy in Bangalore designed to support children’s emotional, behavioral, and social development. Whether your child is facing anxiety, autism, behavioral issues, or developmental delays, our play-based approach helps them express their feelings, build confidence, and heal through the language they know best — play.
What is Play Therapy?
Play therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach that uses toys, games, storytelling, and creative activities to help children communicate and process their thoughts and emotions. For many children, play is a natural and comfortable way to express what they cannot put into words.
At Shelter Arms, our trained play therapists in Bangalore create a safe, nurturing space where children can explore, reflect, and grow through guided, purposeful play.
Who Needs Play Therapy?
Our child play therapy sessions in Bangalore are ideal for children experiencing:
- Emotional distress (e.g. anxiety, anger, sadness)
- Behavioral challenges (e.g. tantrums, defiance)
- Trauma, grief, or major life changes (e.g. parental separation)
- Social or communication difficulties
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Developmental delays or sensory integration issues
Types of Play Therapy We Offer
1. Non-Directive Play Therapy
Also known as child-led therapy, this method allows the child to guide the session while the therapist supports their emotional exploration without direct instruction.
2. Structured / Directive Play Therapy
For children needing more support, we use therapist-guided techniques that focus on specific challenges such as emotional regulation, social interaction, or problem-solving.
3. Play Therapy for Autism
Children with autism often respond well to play-based communication strategies. We use tools like symbolic play, sensory integration games, and joint attention tasks to build social and communication skills.
4. Parent-Child Play Therapy
We involve parents directly in the therapeutic process to strengthen the parent-child bond and reinforce positive behaviors at home.
