Credentials that carry.

Most of our teaching team trained at the Center for Play Therapy at the University of North Texas, under Dr. Garry Landreth. What they learned there, they now teach here — and the therapists they certify are the ones sitting on the playroom floor with Hong Kong's children. A child gets one childhood. The standard we train to is the standard that reaches them.

Supervised practice Training is not only theory. Every professional track carries supervised clinical practice, because skill is built in the room, not on the page.

We train the people who will sit with a child at their worst.

That responsibility sets the standard. Our professional programmes are structured, assessed and supervised — theory, observed practice, case consultation and clinical supervision — because a family trusting a therapist deserves to know what stands behind that title.

Person-Centered Therapy Training for Child-Centered Play Therapists

18 CE hours

An in-depth six-session course with case discussion, deepening the person-centered theory that child-centered play therapy rests on, and the use of self in the room.

The professional standard Trained, supervised, certified. The same lineage that shaped child-centered play therapy worldwide, taught and assessed in Hong Kong.

Certified here. Accountable everywhere.

A certificate from us is a statement about what a practitioner can actually do. Assessment is real, supervision is required, and standards are held — because the person holding it will be trusted with someone's child, or someone's crisis.
