Learn if POP! is right for your child or adolescent
What is a specific phobia?
Specific phobias are intense and persistent fears of certain objects, situations, animals, places, or experiences (such as dogs, vomiting, storms, darkness, heights) that can interfere with a child or young person’s everyday life, confidence, activities, school participation, and overall wellbeing.
POP! supports children, young people, and their parents to gradually overcome fears using evidence-based approaches grounded in exposure therapy.
Specific phobias affect approximately 10% of children, adolescents, and adults.
Our Treatment Options
POP! treatment options include play-modified one-session treatment for preschool-aged children, brief one-session treatment for older children and young people with family involvement, and parent-led digital training programs based on cognitive-behavioural therapy and exposure therapy to help parents support their child in overcoming fears and reducing avoidance.
See our range of treatment programs below, which can be delivered via telehealth conference or face-to-face via our clinic:
