Psychotherapy &
Parental Support
Evidence-based psychotherapy for children, young people, and adults — alongside structured parental support programmes that build family resilience from the inside out.
Healing through
connection & understanding
Our Psychotherapy and Parental Support service provides qualified, evidence-based therapeutic input for children, young people, and the adults who care for them. We work with a wide range of presentations — from complex trauma and attachment difficulties, to anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges, and the emotional impact of neurodevelopmental conditions like autism and ADHD.
Our qualified psychotherapists bring warmth, clinical rigour, and genuine therapeutic skill to every piece of work. Sessions are tailored to the individual — drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), systemic approaches, and trauma-focused EMDR where appropriate.
Alongside direct therapeutic work with young people, we offer structured Parental Support programmes that help parents and carers understand their child’s needs more deeply, develop their own emotional regulation, and strengthen the quality of their relationship with their child. Because lasting change happens when the whole family system is supported — not just the young person within it.

Supporting the young person
and the whole family
Our psychotherapy service has two complementary strands — direct clinical work with children, young people, and adults, and dedicated support for parents and carers.
Psychotherapy
Individual & Family Psychotherapy
Qualified psychotherapists delivering evidence-based one-to-one and family therapy for children, young people, and adults. We work with a broad range of presentations, always tailoring our approach to the individual and drawing on the most appropriate clinical modalities for their needs.
- Trauma processing & PTSD

- Attachment difficulties
- Behavioural & emotional dysregulation
- Grief, loss & life transitions

Parental Support
Structured Parental Support
A structured programme of support for parents and carers that goes beyond advice-giving. Our practitioners help parents understand their child’s behaviour through a trauma-informed and developmental lens, build their own emotional capacity, and strengthen the quality of the relationship at the heart of the family.
- Understanding trauma & behaviour
- Attachment-informed parenting strategies
- Emotional co-regulation techniques
- Managing risk & crisis at home
- Building family communication
- Self-care & parental wellbeing
- Navigating SEND systems & services

- Reduced reliance on crisis services
In the words of
the families we support
“The parental support programme was honestly something I didn’t expect to find so helpful. I went in thinking I needed strategies — but what I got was a completely new way of understanding my daughter. Our relationship has changed. I feel like I actually know her now.”
