Filial Therapy is a special kind of play therapy that closely involves parents and carers. In keeping with our service ethics the new Centre will provide
trans-cultural play therapy for local families with children aged 3—11; in time we hope it will become a City-wide service.

Filial Therapy usually lasts between 3—6 months but may last longer with follow up sessions. The therapy is taught to parents and followed through with support from a trained professional and can be provided in various ways to meet the circumstances of
the child and parent/carer.

In Filial Therapy the parent/carer is present at all times and normally conducts the whole play/therapy session.

If you are interested in you and or your child being involved, please contact a member of the staff team.
