Play therapy uses the client's internal self-healing mechanisms to access unconscious and conscious experiences. The therapist forms a relationship with the client and encourages him or her to explore life events that affect his or her current life experience.

During play therapy, the therapist works at the client's pace. Talking is secondary to play in this form of therapy, and as such the client is encouraged to play while the therapist observes.

Play Therapy is suitable for adults too, as it helps them to relearn self-exploration, which enhances physical and cognitive behaviours. Play therapy gives children and adults freedom, increased creativity and life experience.

Inferential Behaviour Therapy is a newer treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - OCD, which moves away from exposure and response prevention to view OCD as a problem of inference, rather than anxiety management, which effectively explains a broader range of OCD subtypes. It's easier to deploy and gets better results faster, in controlled trials.
