About
Our Story
With the latest research into childhood trauma, attachment and neuroscience along with professional and personal experience and extensive knowledge of SEND, we use trauma informed theories to provide support and practical strategies. We work with organisations and individuals to provide increased understanding and implementation of strategies and processes that create a sense of safety through building relationships and connection.
We facilitate providers of education to meet the basic, psychological and learning needs of children and young people for them to be placed in a position of self-fulfilment enabling them to become open to learning and increase their attainment.
