Assessment and Therapy

Assessment & Therapy

Our service is a specialist therapeutic community designed to support young people with complex needs. Therapy is fully embedded in all aspects of the community, creating a consistent, trauma-informed environment rooted within the Good Lives Framework.

We offer on-site access to a dedicated therapy suite, ensuring that therapeutic support is always within reach. Our team of therapists brings a diverse range of qualifications and extensive experience in working with harmful sexual behaviour, delivering tailored interventions in a safe and supportive space.

Every young person undergoes a comprehensive assessment process, which includes psychometric testing (such as intellectual functioning assessments), as well as thorough risk and needs assessments. Tools like the AIM3 or SAVRY are used when appropriate to ensure interventions are personalised and evidence-based.

Support for Staff Teams

Therapists provide regular training, consultation, and wellbeing support to staff teams across the service. In addition, clinical supervision is offered to both the residential and education teams, ensuring staff are supported in their roles and equipped to maintain a reflective, trauma-informed approach in their work with young people.
