Welcome to the home of POP Power of Play Therapy
Did you know play has power to release chemicals in our brains to make us happy and calm? That’s why we love Play Therapy!
Play is the key to a happy and fulfilling life!
Play Therapy is a form of child psychotherapy and is an evidence based approach. The Play Therapist is trained in how to communicate with children through creative arts and play.
Play Therapy uses the Power of Play to bring about healing and transformation. Building a relationship with the therapist through play, is more accessible for children than through talking therapies as play is the language of children.
It is so easy to seek advice from friends, read a book and still wonder, how do I help my child with the one thing they are struggling with? We have found that through Play Therapy many of these issues are dealt with by providing the space to play with a qualified Play Therapist. Many children cannot talk or will not talk about their problems but play is a natural processor.
POP was started in 2019 to provide play therapy services to Buckinghamshire families and recently registered as a company, POP Therapy Ltd.
