We dedicate ourselves to nurturing and strengthening the bonds between parents and children. Our range of specialised modalities caters to families with children of various ages, focusing on developing deep, secure attachments and addressing any challenges in family dynamics.
Strengthening Family Attachment
Parent Child Attachment Play (PCAP)
Our flagship offering, PCAP, is an innovative and empowering early help attachment programme for parents and children aged 3-15. This gentle, play-based approach is designed to improve the quality of the parent-child relationship. Based on the latest attachment research, PCAP underscores that a well-functioning parent-child relationship is foundational for positive child behaviour and manageable family life.
The PCAP programme follows a structured 10-step method over 12-16 weeks. It involves teaching three essential skills through interactive workshop-style sessions, empowering parents and carers to become change agents in their own families.
Expanding Our Therapeutic Approaches
To provide comprehensive support, we incorporate additional therapeutic approaches:
Filial Play Therapy: Sam is currently training in Filial Coaching. This modality involves parents directly in play sessions, under therapeutic guidance. It enhances understanding and strengthens the parent-child bond, fostering a more empathetic and responsive relationship.
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP): We use the principles of DDP which is effective for children who have experienced trauma and attachment disruptions, DDP focuses on creating emotional safety and strengthening connections between the child and caregiver using PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy).
Watch, Wait and Wonder: A unique, child-led approach where parents are encouraged to observe and respond to their child’s non-verbal cues. This method fosters a deeper understanding of the child’s internal world.
Baby Bonding: Aimed at infants and their parents, this approach focuses on establishing a deep emotional connection from the earliest stages of life, laying a strong foundation for future emotional and relational development.
