Get to Know Us
At Creative Play Lab, we believe in the transforming power of play. Our approach is based on the concept that play is more than just enjoyable; it is an essential instrument for self-expression, learning, and healing.
Our journey began with a simple yet profound mission: to provide a safe and engaging environment in which clients can explore, express themselves, and learn through creative play therapy. Recognising the specific issues that children or young people and their families may experience, we tailor-made a variety of integrative therapeutic Play approaches that promote confidence, emotional resilience, and meaningful connections.
At the core of Creative Play Lab is a team of passionate and experienced therapists who are committed to guiding children or young people and their families through this journey. Our goal is to provide children or young people with the skills they need to confidently navigate the world.
Our Mission and Vision
For Individuals:
Empowerment through self-discovery (4Is)
1. Integrate imagination and reality through play therapy
2. Identify one’s cognitive and emotional needs that allow one to experience self-discovery
3. Infuse strength and discover one’s awareness, adaption and reflection skills for the future
4. Ignite empowerment through validation and support during play therapy
For Society:
Supporting families in need
We believe that it takes a village to raise a child and that child, in turn, brings the village together.
When a community is informed and supported, it has the power to support others.
The spirit of paying it forward can light our community and nation, leading us toward a healthier and happier Little Red Dot.
