Our therapy and support services

We see therapy as an integral element of the learning package for our young people providing direct access to a broad range of therapeutic support. Our highly experienced therapy team work closely with our wider staff to ensure that their expert knowledge is cascaded into practise in both our education and residential provisions. The team allows us to offer our young people a holistic package of education, care and therapeutic intervention.

Whilst we aim to incorporate therapy into our overall provision and approach, we are still able to offer both one to one and group therapy sessions. We have a number of therapy packages available, which can be personalised to meet the needs of individuals. We do not advocate one single type of therapy; instead, we take a toolkit approach combining best practice from a number of different fields in order to provide a personalised package.
