Training & Consultation FAQs
Who is training and consultation for?
Our training and consultation services are for organisations and professionals supporting children, young people, families, carers and adults.
This may include schools, residential children’s homes, fostering agencies, adoption services, local authorities, community organisations, charities, CICs and wider professional networks.
Do you offer one-off consultation or ongoing support?
Yes. Consultation can be offered as a one-off session or as part of ongoing support.
Some services contact us because they want help thinking about one child, family or situation. Others want regular reflective practice, staff consultation, training or a more embedded therapeutic model.
Can you support staff around a specific child or young person?
Yes. We can offer consultation where staff, carers or professionals are trying to understand a child or young person’s behaviour, emotional needs, trauma history, neurodevelopmental profile, relationships or support needs.
The aim is to develop a shared understanding and identify practical responses that can be used in everyday care, school or community settings.
Do you provide training for schools and professional teams?
Yes. We offer training for schools, residential teams, fostering services, community organisations and other professional groups.
Training can be tailored to your setting and may cover areas such as trauma, attachment, emotional regulation, autism, ADHD, behaviour as communication, therapeutic parenting, PACE-informed approaches and supporting neurodivergent children and young people.
What is reflective practice?
Reflective practice gives staff or carers a structured space to think about their work, the children or families they support, and the emotional impact of the role.
It can help teams develop a shared language, improve consistency, reduce reactive responses and strengthen psychologically informed practice.
Can you provide assessment or therapy as well as consultation?
Yes, where appropriate. Some organisations may need consultation or training only, while others may also require psychological assessment, neurodevelopmental assessment, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy or direct therapeutic work.
We can discuss what is clinically appropriate and agree the scope of work before starting.
Can support be delivered online?
Yes. Some consultation, training and reflective practice can be delivered online.
In-person support may also be available, particularly where observation, direct work, team training or embedded service input is required. The format will depend on the needs of the service and the agreed work.
