About us
Our experience
Directors Amy Prior and Siobhan Henley bring their extensive experience from working with children and young people, their parents and care givers in a variety of settings over the last 25 years.
Amy and Siobhan’s work (and clinical practice) is informed by current research about trauma, the impact of trauma on wellbeing and the evidence- based treatment of PTSD and CPTSD.
