“Children speak through play when words are not enough.”

When Daniel, a quiet six-year-old, struggled to express his emotions, traditional conversations offered little insight. However, through toys, drawings, and imaginative play, his feelings slowly emerged. This is the power of play therapy—using play as a natural communication method to help children express emotions, process experiences, and feel understood in a safe environment.

In today’s world, rising levels of childhood anxiety, trauma, and behavioural challenges have created a strong demand for child-centred mental health support across education, healthcare, and wellbeing sectors. Play therapy actively helps children develop emotionally, socially, and psychologically while promoting healing and resilience.

The Play Therapy Course trains learners through structured,  key sessions covering therapeutic play models, intervention approaches, and professional settings. QLS endorses and CPD certifies our course, allowing learners to study flexibly at their own pace with lifetime access. Upon completion, learners earn a recognised certificate. Educators, childcare professionals, and wellbeing practitioners can use this training to enhance their skills and actively support children’s mental health.
