Why choose a BAPT Registered Play Therapist?
When looking for support for your child, it's important to know that not everyone offering play-based services is a qualified Play Therapist.
A BAPT Registered Play Therapist® has completed accredited postgraduate training and is committed to maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards.
Every BAPT Registered Play Therapist:
🧸 Has completed recognised postgraduate training in Play Therapy.
🛡️ Holds an enhanced DBS check and up-to-date safeguarding training.
📋 Maintains Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.
🤝 Receives regular clinical supervision to ensure safe and effective practice.
📚 Undertakes Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to keep their knowledge and skills up to date.
❤️ Works within the BAPT Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, putting children's safety and wellbeing at the heart of their practice.
Play Therapy is much more than playing. It is an evidence-informed therapeutic approach that uses a child's natural language of play to help them process difficult experiences, express emotions, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of coping.
If you're looking for a qualified Play Therapist, always check that they are registered with the British Association of Play Therapists (BAPT).
You can find a BAPT Registered Play Therapist and learn more about the profession by visiting the BAPT website.
Every child deserves safe, ethical, professional therapeutic support. 💚
