Our Therapeutic Approach

We know that trauma early in life can make the world feel like an unsafe place. Building relationships, trusting others and enjoying everyday experiences can all feel out of reach. Drawing on developmental trauma, attachment theory and PACE, we help our young people explore the world safely, rebuild their self-worth and grow in confidence, so they can go on to achieve their own ambitions.

Therapeutic parenting isn’t something we switch on and off. It’s woven into the everyday life of our homes, and every adult who cares for our children is trained in it by a DDP trained professional. This training runs throughout the year, giving our teams the chance to refresh their knowledge, reflect on the challenges they face and keep growing in their role.

Through the care of the adults around them, the support of our therapists and the warmth of a safe, nurturing home, our young people begin to develop a real sense of identity and belonging, while striving for the best possible future.
