In School Support
We offer extensive in school support therapies and interventions. Our services include group and individual therapies to support children and young people with difficulties and challenges they are facing. We also offer training and support to school staff to help support all of the children to achieve their full potential.
Inclusion Support
We have extensive experience and expertise for working with children and schools to support the children and young people to access the curriculum and achieve their full potential. We use strategies and programmes that are approved by the BPS and are used in numerous specialised settings. We can help to introduce theses programmes and interventions into the mainstream environment so that all of the students can achieve.

We are able to help devise differentiated curriculum and support EHCP intervention and assessment matrix. We have extensive knowledge of curriculum objectives and meeting the standards enabling us to assist with marking policies, behaviour for learning and attitude for learning to effectively enhance and inform the teaching and learning experience for all.
Sensory Programmes
We strive to ensure that all children and young people are able to engage and enjoy their environment. Through sensory programmes we can help to support the young people with a variety of different needs. We can explore ways to engage with the stimuli in their environment, to encourage and allow focus. We can teach techniques and strategies for coping in environments which maybe distressing, such as loud or crowded.
We develop programmes to promote coping mechanisms and positive uses of sensory stimuli.
Behaviour Strategies
At times behaviour patterns can cause the children or young person to experience difficulties within their day to day routines. We have a variety of techniques and strategies which we are able to support the child with to manage their behaviour and anxieties. By allowing the children and young people the access to their emotional awareness and to feel comfortable to express and accept the support offered we are able to work with everyone in the young persons life to enable them to manage their behaviour in safe ways. We focus strongly on anxiety management, particularly with challenging behaviours and through sustained guidance and support are able to allow those challenges to be shared and the behaviours to become positive.
Emotional Awareness
We work together with the children and young people to develop an awareness and understanding of emotions giving them the tools they need to be able to manage their own emotions and feelings safely and be able to express them appropriately. We provide a stable support structure to be able to understand and accept other peoples emotions and behaviours so that we can enable healthy relationships with those around them.
Play therapy and Counselling
At times children and young people can need further support and guidance with managing their emotions and life events. We can help to support them through difficult times in a safe and open way which is best suited to their individual personality and emotional needs
Social Skills and Mentoring
One of our most successful programmes is our social skills development. We use a variety of techniques and programmes to support and aid the social and communication development of our young people. These can include direct social skills lessons, to group work and play, to creating mentoring and friendship groups. This allows our young people to learn the vital social skills they need in order to thrive and maintain positive relationships with their peers and families. This work can be difficult at times for some young people but with consistent help and support from understanding and positive leaders they are able to engage within social situations without fear.
