Real Stories, Real Impact
“Play therapy has taught me that children speak in whispers of silence and subtle gestures and that healing begins not with my words, but with my presence. Beyond words, presence becomes the path to healing”
Sharon Wang
PhD Candidate in Clinical Counseling, Kota Kinabalu
"The PGCert in Therapeutic Play Skills has been a truly meaningful journey. It has taught me to slow down, observe deeply, and connect with children in ways beyond words. Through play, I discovered new ways of understanding their inner worlds and this has enriched not only my work but also my personal growth as a psychiatrist."
Dr. Vasagi Sinnasamy
Psychiatrist
"I found the Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play Skills deeply enriching, as it broadened my understanding of supporting children through therapeutic play. As a clinical psychologist in Malaysia, training often emphasised cognitive-behavioral approaches; this course allowed me to consider how creative therapies and attuning to children can enrich and strengthen our work with younger children. I hope more helping professionals in Malaysia will explore therapeutic play skills across clinical work, research, and community settings, so that we can grow the field in ways that can help us better understand how to support children’s wellbeing integratively."
