About
Sophia Idowu is a dedicated play therapist and the founder of Treasure Chest Play Therapy, based in Fore, County Westmeath. She works with children and young people aged 3 to 18, providing a safe and nurturing space where they can explore and process emotional and social challenges. From anxiety and behavioural difficulties to trauma and family changes, Sophia supports children and their families through a range of life experiences.
Her passion for play therapy stems from her belief that every child deserves a special, secure space with an empathetic and genuine listener. With a Postgraduate Diploma in Play Therapy from the Children’s Therapy Centre and as an accredited member of the Irish Association of Play Therapy and Psychotherapy, Sophia is deeply committed to professional excellence. She is currently pursuing a Master’s in Creative Psychotherapy, further enhancing her humanistic and integrative approach.
Sophia’s practice combines creative techniques like sand tray therapy and expressive arts with trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to the unique needs of the child. At Treasure Chest Play Therapy, her philosophy is simple yet profound: "We trust the process." Every session is an opportunity to create treasured moments of healing and growth.
