Meet the Crew

Every child who comes to us has faced their own storms at sea.
Some waters have been calm. Others may have felt frightening or uncertain. That’s why we’re here - to keep the course clear when the sea feels uncertain. Because every child deserves a steady ship and a crew they feel safe with.

This is the crew that keeps the ship moving safely.

Built Around Children, Guided by People

Our team brings together a wide range of experience, including Trauma Recovery Model (TRM) practitioners, PROACT-SCIPr-UK® trainers, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) specialists, and mental health nurses.
