How can WE help YOU?

We believe that there is always a solution to life's many challenges.

Who are we?

Our premium service provides individual and group programmes of psychotherapeutic support for children, young people and adults who have experienced deep-rooted trauma, enabling them to face their fears and break down the barriers to making significant and positive changes to their lives. We also provide full assessment protocols for ASD, ADHD and other potential diagnoses.

Our clinical team has decades of experience, and a track record that proves that trauma and learned responses to trauma are not a life sentence, and that, for many people, full recovery is not just a hope but a reality. We have extensive experience working with children in care with local authorities. We also have personal and lived experiences of military life and operational duty.

How do we do it?

We work with clients face-to-face or online, serving the UK. We offer a full service to non-English speakers via an interpreter, including Ukrainian and classic Arabic, Farsi and Pashto, and are experienced in working with people from war-torn countries, whether resettled families, unaccompanied children or adults.
We have many years of experience working with clients of all ages, from 18 months old onwards, with autism, ADHD, and many other diagnoses.

We also hold certification as an ADHD Clinical Services Provider.
