A story for children beginning Play Therapy

This therapeutic story has been created for children who are beginning Play Therapy. Through the story, children can explore what Play Therapy and the therapeutic relationship might be like.

Follow Beacan and Treasa as they discover how a therapeutic relationship can provide a safe space to explore feelings, experiences and relationships, and how hope and healing can grow when we nurture and care for one another.

The story may be helpful for children, as well as parents, carers and professionals supporting a child as they begin Play Therapy. You might choose to read the story together before a child begins Play Therapy, or return to it as they settle into their sessions.

The story is free to download and can be shared with children, families and professionals involved in supporting them.
