Play Therapy UK (PTUK)

The UK Society for Play and Creative Arts Therapies designed for anyone interested in helping children with emotional literacy, behaviour or mental health problems.

Our registrants use an Integrative Holistic model of Play Therapy. t was introduced in 2002 to replace earlier models. It is validated by the PTUK clinical evidence base. It integrates the therapeutic use of a wide range of creative arts media – the Play Therapy Tool-Kit; working with unconscious as well as conscious processes; using non-directive and directive approaches and integrating research with practice.

We have grown to be the largest and most progressive Play Therapy professional organisation in the UK through our high standards and programme of continual innovation.
