Written By Play Therapy with Anya

Anya Reddy was invited to speak on “The Role of Play Therapy in Paediatric Pain Management” as part of the Paediatric Care and Palliative Pain Awareness Week Conference, hosted by the Department of Anaesthesiology at Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health, Bengaluru.

Her session highlighted how Play Therapy can support children in coping with medical trauma, reducing anxiety, and building emotional resilience during hospitalisation and treatment.

As part of her presentation, Anya shared a glimpse into a real session with her client who was processing pain following a hospital visit—illustrating how play therapy offers children a safe space to express fear, regain a sense of control, and integrate difficult experiences.
