Intervention

The therapist helps children and young people with a range of social-emotional, communication, interaction, and learning needs. Individual goals are identified in close collaboration with parents and teachers in the therapy sessions.

For younger children, intervention may work through the parent or carer-child supporting their adapted interaction (e.g. PACT click here) or supporting nursery and school making adjustments and implementing support strategies.

For other young people, whether it is school-based anxiety, demand avoidance, or worries about making friends and feeling accepted, a therapist can help them gain insight and discover their inner resilience through therapy, counselling and support strategies. Social-emotional issues can affect concentration, sleep, enthusiasm, self-respect, the will to change, and the ability to function daily. We use various alternative methods, including art, observation and sensitive listening to the young person. When young people feel comfortable without the demand for talking, they typically gain trust and interact more freely with the therapist. We address the root cause of the concerns by carefully listening to the young person's priorities, perceptions, and aspirations, guiding them through a journey of self-discovery, respect, and understanding to realise their individual potential. Parents and teachers provide invaluable support that enables the person to confidently use strategies in everyday situations.

The therapy is available for children and young people in primary or secondary schools, colleges, universities, and higher education. If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to email us at office@roundwaycentre.org.uk.
