Supporting and training adults around young people promotes the Team Around the Child approach, fostering understanding, empathy, safety, resilience, and career longevity.
Through the B & B we offer a range of person centred services for adults that work with young people:
We employ and contract British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellors and non-directive play therapists (including those in training).
We offer reflective peer supervision- with a member of trained educational staff, that have walked a day in their shoes – this is particularly successful for staff working 1:1 with a young person in the classroom. We also offer clinical supervision for those working in highly emotive circumstances. Another service is our coaching work for new staff or staff who aim to enhance their therapeutic skills and ability to work effectively with young individuals.
We also offer staff training that includes having trained counsellors available during sessions as supporting others is emotive and makes us ask questions of ourselves.
