Play therapy is a form of counselling or psychotherapy in which play is used as a means of helping children to better express and communicate their feelings. Play therapy can be used by a range of education, health and welfare professionals. As such, there are no undergraduate degrees specifically in play therapy. Postgraduate qualifications are available and aimed at individuals who have a primary degree in a relevant discipline, or work with children in the health and welfare fields.
