Caterpillar Play Steps offers Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) for children aged 3-12/13, focusing on emotional growth, resilience, and self-expression. This approach uses play as a child's natural language to help them process feelings, experiences, and needs that may be difficult to articulate. The therapy environment is designed to be a safe sanctuary where children are accepted unconditionally, allowing them to move towards healing and transformation at their own pace, much like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Sessions are typically weekly, with parent/caregiver consultations occurring regularly to support consistency between the playroom and home. This service supports tamariki and whānau through the language of play.
