Our training in adoption and trauma therapy provides the best therapist training for adoption work. Our specialist training for child adoption therapists is provided by experts who are not only leaders in therapy but also have experience with adoption services.
PIP Solutions offers a range of accredited advanced training for therapists in adoption settings, with the child at the centre.
Our comprehensive post-adoption online training supports qualified practitioners to work safely and effectively with adopted children or young people.
Children and young people who have been adopted are often vulnerable due to their experiences before their adoption, which affects the here and now. Qualified therapists working with this special population require specialist skills, application of solid theoretical knowledge, with the ability to hold and support family members in a manner unique to post-adoption therapy.
Accredited with CPDUK and PTUK, PIP Solutions has designed this live online ‘Certificate in Post-Adoption Therapy for Children and Young People’ for qualified child therapists and play therapists wishing to work within this specialist area. This comprehensive and rigorous training course will equip qualified therapists with key knowledge and skills to understand the adoption process and its effects on all parties.
This training involves adoptees, adopters and first parents, who will share their different perspectives on the complexities and outcomes resulting from adoption. It will provide information on topics including attachment and adoption therapy, neurobiology, developmental trauma, loss and the protective adaptations that adopted children make in service of survival.

Trainings and courses are informed by child development theory, interpersonal neurobiology, regulation theory, attachment theory, polyvagal theory and intersubjectivity.
