We adopt a Team Around the Child approach, involving adults and young people, to identify and address their needs, promoting a long-term, comprehensive plan.
Through Bella and Bear we offer a range of child centred services.
We employ and contract British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellors and non-directive play therapists (including those in training).
We are innovative in developing therapeutic programmes using animal therapy, outdoor therapy, music and art. We employ and contract professionals who hold certificates and diplomas in these fields.
We have developed our own provision through our ‘Mindful Mentors’ ~ these are people who can commit time to be mindful of a young person ensuring they don’t just disappear one day. They are fully trained and can say they have walked a day in the young person’s shoes.
This service is called Bella & Bear as it is a nod to our understand of ‘the inner child’ with the Bear being the inner voice of the child.
