Child-centered Therapy

Child-Centered Therapy is a therapeutic approach within the field of child psychotherapy that emphasizes non-directive, play-based intervention guided by the child’s intrinsic capacity for self-expression and emotional regulation, distinguishing it from structured or directive modalities through its foundational reliance on empathic attunement and client-led exploration.
