The company now offers a small yet economically viable service offering accredited psychotherapy services to children and families. The company focus continues to be providing Psychotherapy services, establishing its reputation locally and broadening the reach of the company. From September 2023 psychotherapeutic work with children and families continued. The use of Zoom during period of Covid isolation had introduced new ways of working and enabled those moving away to University to continue their therapy remotely. Covid experiences continued to impact on the emotional needs of clients at this time. Lost hours in education, isolation and the fear associated with the possibility of loved ones dying from Covid had impacted on many children, families and young people. Returning to normality remains hard for many. At the same time common presentations, for example the death of a parent or parental divorce had been made more difficult for clients to process and move through during Covid times. In addition some children born during or shortly after Covid lockdowns are now experiencing behavioural, social and emotional challenges as they enter nursery and school. Parents are often very anxious about their children and need psychotherapeutic support with their parenting role. Cases continue to be generally more complex. Throughout the year the company made available 12 psychodynamic psychotherapy sessions a week for children, young people and parents. When necessary the therapist liaised with GPs, local schools, social workers and the local authority. In most instances therapeutic interventions were long term, some lasting over a year. Some in need of high levels of multi-agency support were assessed and then referred to more appropriate intensive medical provision. Some of this occurred without charge as the preliminary assessment made immediate referral on necessary. Three families were able to access therapy at a reduced rate. Those working in schools and childcare whom the psychotherapist advised were also emotionally challenged by their own experiences during Covid restrictions and those of the children they care for. They still need additional, often informal, short term support. At times the psychotherapist consulted with a school and after school club free of charge. Workshops were run for 1. all parents on how to support their child when they transfer from nursery to school (60 families) 2. working parents on how to help your child settle in after school care (12 families) A regular weekly drop in session over 15 weeks with the psychotherapist was offered free of charge to a local primary school for parents with children beginning school . The psychotherapist consulted with key worker play workers helping them to think about the emotional needs of the children and find individualised ways to settle them into the after school club and nurture their resilience and enhance their enjoyment of the time spent at the club.
Our Stakeholders are the children, parents/carers and commissioners who use our services. This includes 1. Local families who pay directly for our services 2. Local schools – who pay for children identified by their schools as being in need of additional educational, social, and emotional support. 3. Schools and Parents in receipt of free or reduced rated Therapy 4. Local child carers – who pay for support to staff and parents. The demand for psychotherapeutic work with individuals and families and the nature of the problems being brought to therapy continue to evidence that demand for support remains high. This continues to demand liaison with GPs, schools and a professional network of child and adolescent psychotherapists. Referrals came from other professionals or word of mouth.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £10,527 including pension contributions of £1,181. 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.
