The people going Above and Beyond
Our team members have each faced some form of adversity in childhood. These lived experiences allow us to understand, empathise with, and empower the children we support.
We also come from a diverse range of professional backgrounds and can adapt to unique individual requirements through consistent therapeutic practices.
From personalised, trauma-informed support to reflective practice, our staff perform crucial roles in helping children to heal and thrive.
Consistency, transparency, and a commitment to providing relationship-based care underpin everything we do. Only by demonstrating these behaviours can we build trust and achieve the best possible outcomes.
We also understand the importance of collaboration, togetherness, and respect. We know that you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with, and operating as one big family is the key to success.
Here are some of the people at Above and Beyond who provide the highest quality of child-centred therapeutic care.
