Our Approach
Our model is based on Therapeutic Parenting, an attachment focused approach that reflects the importance of therapeutic relationships.
We are guided by the PACE approach – Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy (Dr Dan Hughes & Dr Kim S Golding).
Our Model of Care/Treatment is based on the premise that the emotional development of children and young people is dependent upon and highly influenced by the nature of the carer-child relationship.
Secure Attachments
Strong, trusting relationships help children feel safe to explore the world and develop confidence.
Self-Regulation & Wellbeing
Children learn to manage their emotions and impulses, reducing harmful behaviours and improving wellbeing.
Self-Worth & Growth
Therapeutic relationships build self-esteem, independence and a positive sense of identity.
Empathy & Pro-Social Development
We nurture empathy and compassion, helping young people build respectful, meaningful relationships.
Breaking the cycle
Traumatised children learn with us to appreciate what a warm, loving and ordinary ‘family’ life is like.
The cycle of trauma is broken, enabling a return to mainstream family life, either in birth or foster family, or on to independent living at 18+.
We want to ensure that our young people develop the skills they will need in the future, in order to be able to live independently, to seek employment or go on to further education
A brighter future is possible. We’re here every
step of the way.
