Toys are children's words and play is their language"
Supporting Your Child’s Emotional Journey
Through Play Therapy
It can feel difficult seeing your child or young person struggling or unhappy. Knowing they are
grappling with frustration, anger, aggression, anxiety, or fear can result in feelings of
helplessness as the parent. Play therapy offers a compassionate and effective
approach to help young people work through these difficulties by fostering their
development and healing. In a safe and nurturing environment, children and young people can express
themselves, process their experiences, and build essential coping skills. By working
together, we can better understand your child’s struggles and create a plan to
support them in the best way.
Welcome!
My name is Ateka Azam. I am a play therapist specialising in working with children and adolescents in Edinburgh. I offer understanding and respect of the unique cultural context’s children and young people come from. I work with children and young people who have a range of difficulties, offering them a safe and supportive space to explore their feelings.
