Power of Play provides a safe space for healing and growth. We empower children and adults to reconnect to their authentic selves.
Our therapeutic approaches are trauma-informed to bridge the mind and body gap, in support of emotional regulation and resilience. We offer individualised services in play therapy, EMDR, family and systemic counseling and dance therapy, for groups and individuals.
We envision a world where children and adults have access to information and healing that empowers them to have a voice, to live courageously.
"Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in the child's soul."
- Friedrich Froebel -

A chartered engineer by training, Surabhi spent the first 15 years of her career working in the oil and gas industry in a variety of junior and senior technical roles. Her work in this industry provided her opportunities to work in Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
Surabhi always held a high level of interest in the dynamics that exist within both personal and professional systems that we as individuals belong to. Primarily in the way that a significant fraction of issues that one encounters on a daily basis boil down to the interconnectedness and communication (or lack thereof) between all the people and elements involved.
