Our aims
The aim of our approach is not to foster an exclusive, idealised relationship with children, young people and families, although an excellent relationship is vital. What we want is for therapy to facilitate the formation of better relational bonds at school, at home, at work and in social settings...and therefore for us to become completely redundant as quickly as possible
