Our creative therapies provide an evidence-based intervention which offers schools high impact solutions.
Our creative therapies are child-centred, fun, build confidence, and tap into innate creativity, providing new opportunities and ways for children and young people to communicate their inner lives.
We are outcome-oriented with 16 years of experience delivering safe and effective therapeutic interventions in schools and other settings. We meet a wide range of emotional and psychological needs flexibly and responsively. We liaise closely with carers and parents, other professionals, and school staff, dovetailing their existing strategies.

We provide a space for educators to reflect on the emotional content of their work and relationships.
The educator's role has never been as pressurised or as demanding as it is today. While teachers are often well supported in developing their teaching skills, there are less opportunities to develop emotional resilience, self- awareness and relational maturity.
By enabling teachers to reflect on and learn from their own experiences, they will not only become less stressed and unhappy, but also more self- aware, responsive and sensitive to the needs of their students. Together with your school we put relationship, connection and responsibility back at the heart of teaching.
E.S.E.E (Emotional Support for Educational Establishments) and Avek-Toi are two projects run by Therapy North Staffordshire. E.S.E.E seeks to support educational staff by giving guidance, supervision and external support for children who are experiencing ongoing difficulties with learning due to emotional or special educational needs.
Avek-Toi offers an holistic approach to professional and personal development often covering: Bereavement Counselling, Change Management, Conflict Resolution, Life Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
