Baya Play

---

Therapeutic Play is aimed at children from 5 - 11 , it is delivered as hour sessions for 12 weeks with an 8 week review. It is a form of psychotherapy, a way of helping children help themselves using a child's natural medium form of self expression which is essential for emotional development. The cabin will provide a safe space to play out their feelings and responses to situations, and we will always be working on the why. 

There are many reasons why you may find yourselves exploring therapeutic play for a child, such as communication struggles, school avoidance, bereavement, family disruptions, nightmares, withdrawn, social exclusion, attachment worries and so many more. 

Before any commitment or decision is made, we will have a Cabin Consultation where we will swim deep in conversation over a cup of tea.

Whale facts: 

Whales exhibit joy through play, It is has been said that play is a great expression of intelligence!  Whales and dolphins leap, tumble, back flip and create games; and there is often no explicable reason for their behaviour other than pure social enjoyment.

The part of their brain which processes emotions (limbic system) appears to be more complex than our own (and ours is very very complex).
