During the financial year 2023-2024, we have continued providing high quality, psychological support to our community. This was a year that was particularly difficult due to the landlord at the time deciding to significantly increase monthly rent and service charge on the premises from which we provided our service. Unable to find a space providing the same number of rooms, we moved into a temporary space that provided two therapy rooms instead of four and no office space. Our already small team had to reduce in size, and we were no longer able to offer student placements, one of our practitioners also began maternity leave in August 2023. We offer self-referring clients fee options from a sliding scale of between £30 - £65 per session, with a small number of spaces held for those unable to afford those costs. In the year 23-24 we provided: - 531 1 to 1 sessions of psychological support to children, young people and adults - 161 of these sessions were provided using our sliding scale for fees - 107 of these sessions were provided at £30 or less, with almost a third charged at £10 per session - 370 sessions were provided to children and young people through funded pathways such as our County Council’s Adoption Support Fund and the NHS Funded referral pathway known as the PTP (Professional Therapeutic Pathway) Our work providing services to the PTP began in October 2023 and we have so far supported 17 individuals with Creative Therapies, suited to their individual needs. This service is in place to support children and young people, however due to our unique offering of supporting all ages, we have found ourselves also able to offer additional sessions to parents and carers of those service users, who often find themselves in need of psychological support. Our service and the support we provide is well regarded by the PTP. At the end of September 2023 we began providing a fortnightly provision of Art Therapy sessions to HMP Norwich, a remand prison for men. This service was provided to men within the Day Care service at the prison and provided an opportunity for these clients to express themselves through creative means in a safe and non-judgemental space. We very much hope the opportunity to work with this client group arises again, the Art Therapist providing the group found it to be fulfilling and rewarding for her as well as impactful for the clients. We offer Clinical Supervision and Reflective Practice services for businesses and charities. This is a service that continues to grow and this year (2025) we hope to help a member of team to achieve the relevant qualification so that they can also provide this service to our clients. One charity that we support with Clinical Supervision and Reflective Practice is Nelson’s Journey (NJ). This service has been well received and proved important to the teams at NJ. This year we were approached by their Chief Executive asking for further support for their staff. They provide a service working with children and young people who have been recently bereaved. They tasked us with creating a package that could support their team with the challenges that working with death and grief can bring. We sat down with our team and created a package that could be delivered over 2 sessions to all new starters at NJ. These sessions are part Psycho-educational and part therapeutic and are designed specifically to support the team members and their work. We also offer 2 follow up Therapy sessions to each client. This service has been very well received and feedback has been positive. We received two grants to support our work during this time. One was to support our ongoing work, providing 1 to 1 Therapy to children and young people. The other was a new offering we are writing which will provide a free to access Therapeutic group for Year 6 students who have been identified as likely to struggle with the move from Primary to High school. This group will be taking place in June 2025. We continue to be members of The Sir Norman Lamb Coalition for Children and Young People, allowing us to improve further our connections with local organisations and charities with an aim of supporting children, young people and families in our communities, as well as accessing funding opportunities and sharing knowledge.
Our main stakeholders are the people who participate in the sessions we provide, either 1:1 or groups. Our participants come to us through a number of channels, self-referral or through an organisation or referral network such as school, council, NHS or charity. The initial assessment takes place with a qualified member of our team, during this conversation the participant and the assessor take time to discuss different therapies and what would be most suited for the participants needs and situation as well as their ability to engage. Each person that partakes in sessions with us completes two questionnaires at the beginning and end of their time with us, these provide an insight into their wellbeing and psychological state upon arrival and departure with us. Alongside the questionnaires other factors allow us to ensure our clients voices are heard; the collaborative nature of the work, reporting and assessments as the sessions take place, ongoing conversations throughout therapy between practitioner and participant, and feedback forms once sessions conclude, these methods combined provide both quantitative and qualitative result information. Through conversations with clients, parents, guardians, social workers, teachers, peers and our net-works, we hear the needs that are faced within our communities. We continue to find that we are providing separate, individual sessions for multiple family members. Through the referral process, a parent, guardian or carer may call to discuss the services we can offer for another family member, often a child, and through this discussion it emerges that they themselves need support. We are fully aware that to create systemic and generational change, providing support to the community around the initial individual is often a highly successful approach.
The total amount paid to Director’s in respect of qualifying services was £27,982.50. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
