Play is the only place where children are in control of their world, and where they can explore and discover aspects of themselves and their surroundings. Play is crucial for healthy brain development.

Play therapy assists children to improve self regulation skills while developing social skills and empathy.

At Emerald Ability, children are provided with an opportunity to explore their emotions and feelings through play, in a safe and supportive environment that is colourful, inviting, and filled with fun.

Play therapy at Emerald Ability is provided by an accredited Associate Play Therapist.

Our play therapy room is one of the largest in Newcastle, filled with a wide variety of toys to suit all developmental ages and stages.
