Our approach, mission & values
Our approach
The child at the centre
With each child we meet we look and listen to how their past affects their present, reviewing closely the whole system revolving around them – school, family, peers.
Trauma informed
Alongside this approach, we look at negative childhood experiences to make our practice trauma informed, addressing the causes rather than the symptoms.
Therapeutic approach
Our qualified, experienced therapists have been trained in a broad range of orientations (psychodynamic, CBT, integrative, attachment focused, expressive arts and systemic) and work creatively to encourage body/ mind reconnection, focusing on the strengths of the child and the family in order to build and nurture resilience.
One size of therapy does not fit all
Information from the child and family is gathered during a detailed assessment in order to create a bespoke package of therapy (individual, couples, family), coaching, mentoring or group work befitting of the child at the centre of each case – one size does not fit all.
Our vision and mission

Our mission
To ensure that all children in the UK receive specialist support to become healthy adults who lead complete and fulfilling lives. To provide and share inspiration and best practice with other providers across the education, health and private sectors.
