Therapeutic Support

Anima Residential Care

We have an in-house therapeutic team, helping staff to work with young people effectively, whilst also valuing and understanding the central importance of staff wellbeing. The therapists make up an integrative team with differences in the types of therapeutic approaches in which they specialise.

The teams include practitioners trained in

  • Art Psychotherapy
  • Attachment
  • Systemic Psychotherapy
  • Addictions
  • Person-Centred Therapy
  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
  • Trauma-informed therapeutic practice.

 

Their collective experience ranges all the way from inpatient psychiatric intensive care and acute settings to community-based family, group and one-to-one therapeutic provision.

The team shares a commitment to relational therapeutic practice, putting the relationships between staff and with young people at the centre of what we do. This is consistent with social pedagogy – our Therapeutic Support is focused on helping staff to expand their pedagogical practice.

In therapeutic terms, this philosophy is centred in humanism – a belief that all individuals are essentially resourceful, creative and have the potential to achieve wellbeing and happiness, if the right conditions are created for this. It is an approach which aims to facilitate and support, rather than direct or take a position as an ‘expert’.
