The start of a new term can bring a mix of emotions for children and families.

Often, when a child is struggling, they don't immediately have the words to tell us why. Instead, we see it in their behaviour, their mood, or their sleep.

If you feel your child needs a little extra support, we'd love to have a chat about how POP can help.

A gentle check-in for Bucks parents this Monday morning.

Before the rest of the day takes over, we just wanted to reach out. Whether it was a breezy start or a bit of a struggle, we'd love to hear how you're doing.

How is the morning mood in your home today? Leave a 👍🏻 if you're "on top of it", or a ❤️ if you're "just getting through".

When words feel a bit too difficult to find, bridges the gap.

At POP Therapy, we help children across Buckinghamshire express difficult feelings and experiences they may not yet have the vocabulary for. By using toys and creative tools they know best, play becomes the words through which children feel heard.

When the school day ends, children need a space to play and feel supported.

Our dedicated spaces at Aylesbury Vineyard and The King’s Church Chesham provide a calm, neutral environment away from the pressures of the classroom. Here, your child can leave the school day behind and find a safe "sanctuary" to express themselves through the power of play.

Children need freedom, space, and time to play.

Play is not a luxury—it’s essential for healthy development. Through play, every young mind learns best, grow stronger emotionally, and build lifelong skills.
Learning through play is more effective than any other form of learning.

When a child is overwhelmed inside, learning becomes hard. It’s not that they don’t want to listen or join in. It’s that their emotions are working overtime. Worry, frustration, sadness or low confidence can sit right beneath the surface, and those feelings make it difficult to settle, concentrate or cope with the demands of the school day.

Therapeutic support can ease that emotional load. When a child feels safer and more regulated, their ability to focus, participate and enjoy school naturally improves. Play therapy gives them a protected space to express what’s going on, make sense of it, and develop the inner steadiness they need for learning.

POP Therapy offers sessions within the school setting, making the process simpler for families. Your child can receive the support they need during the school day, without you having to travel to a clinic. Schools may authorise these sessions as medical appointments, helping ensure the child receives consistent care without unnecessary absences.

If you’d like to explore school-based play therapy for your child, we’re here to support you.

Joy anchors a child from within, helping them feel calmer, stronger and more steady.

After a tough day at home, even simple things like mealtimes can feel really hard. A child who’s had some space to reconnect with their joy might come to the table a little easier, maybe try a bite without a fuss, or even share a little giggle with a parent. It’s not about getting everything right. It’s just about feeling a bit more able to face the moment.

Joy isn’t about pushing them to “just get on with it”. It helps their system soften so that everyday challenges, like getting dressed, sharing toys or moving between activities, feel a bit more doable.

Through the different programs that POP Therapy offers - Play Therapy, DIR Floortime, POP Play Sessions, POP Family Club, or Parent Coaching, we give that space for children to grow that joy. Through therapeutic play, they can make choices, express themselves, connect with someone who understands, and try out new ways of being. Little by little, those moments of joy build up. And when that happens, the small struggles at home don’t feel quite so heavy, and children can find a bit more calm, confidence and steadiness for themselves.
