What we offer

  • Behavioural therapy

    Goal-oriented treatment that strengthens skills and reduces challenging behaviour, using methods known to work.

  • Parent and family treatment

    Parents receive explanation and practical tools, so that what a child learns holds up at home when we are not there.

  • Treatment at school

    Working with schools on transitions, taking part in class and communication, so a child can keep participating over the long term.

What sets us apart

We pay particular attention to families with a multilingual or international background. Our treatment is relational and takes account of the values and lived reality of each family. In practice that means connecting to the language spoken at home and to how this family looks at raising children.

Would you like to know whether we are a fit for your child?

Registering commits you to nothing. We start with a conversation and look together at what is needed.
