Our Mission
Our aim is quite simply to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people and families. We believe that the key to finding peace in mental health difficulties, lies in understanding, communication and self observation.
We know the foundations of a good life begin in childhood. Sometimes, when children aren’t coping, they can behave and respond in ways which we find difficult to manage. Without action, a fairly simple problem can develop into a complex myriad of layered issues. These issues are often carried throughout a child’s life and into adulthood.
Seeking solutions to problems that are affecting your well-being, relationships and direction takes courage. We will help you explore how to move forwards. We can help you to re-focus your priorities in a safe, non-judgemental space. You can heal fresh and old wounds, improve relationships and still go on to achieve the goals that have felt out of reach.
To Children
We want children to know they are unique and can be celebrated for who they are. Behind every behaviour there is an intention. We want to teach children to express themselves fully in a non-harmful way. With an emphasis on happiness being an inside job, and core teachings of self belief, we see children transform into confident and calm young people connecting to their best selves and looking ahead to a brighter future.
To Parents/Carers
We want parents/carers to know you’re not alone! We understand how stressful parenting can be and how difficult it is to know what to do when your child is unhappy or behaving unacceptably. We can provide you with the support you need, in order to support your child. We offer genuine, proven, social and emotional behavioural therapy that works. We can empower you to have the confidence that you’re parenting your child consistently and in the right way for you both. And if you need to talk about you - we can help with that too.
“Children’s mental health is just so important. Anxiety, trauma, worry and anger are normal emotions, but can take over and really affect the wellbeing of a child. Every parent should feel confident in asking for the right support and guidance”
Louise Forster, Founder
