Therapeutic Support 

 

Therapeutic support is designed to help your child feel more secure, confident, and emotionally regulated, and to support you as a parent or caregiver in responding effectively.

We aim to create a space where children and young people are seen and supported, and where parents and carers feel empowered and hopeful. Whatever you and your child is facing, we’ll work together to find a way forward - one that feels safe, collaborative, and grounded in what matters most to your family.

We offer sessions in schools and home settings, within Leicester City and Leicestershire. We also offer online therapy.
