History

BOP Therapy Foundation was set up in 1992 by a small group of counsellors and therapists concerned that some people, especially parents and children, were falling “through the cracks” and unable to access counselling because of a lack of finance.

Counsellors recognised the need for short term counselling to give people ideas about changing their situation or dealing differently with a problem.
