Therapeutic Life Story Work
We offer the Rose Model of Therapeutic Life Story Work which was developed by Richard Rose and is the world's first research based life story intervention that supports children and young people to make sense of their lives. With the support of a carer and a life story practitioner the child is guided through narrative, play based and relationship building techniques. Through this shared experience, co creation of meaning, and greater understanding of the reasons behind behaviours, the attachment relationship with care givers is enhanced. Therapeutic Life Story work helps children to gain a sense of safety and promote a more positive view of life through a more trusting lens.

Therapeutic Parenting Support
