Bespoke interventions to encourage meaningful change
Our Pathway to Change
Our clinical assessments underpin all residential and care placements.

Annual Reviews
All young people in residential placements will have a full psychological review every 12 months to monitor progress.
Bespoke Interventions
Clinicians will offer direct therapy to the young people in the form of trauma-informed care and education.

Innovative therapeutic care and education.
Our ‘PACE’ Therapeutic Model
All our staff engage with children in a way that invites spontaneity, curiosity, and exploration.
Playfulness
The carer engages with the child expressively, using facial expressions, voice and body.
A playful attitude implies that the strength of the relationship is larger than any minor irritations.
A playful attitude implies that the strength of the relationship is larger than any minor irritations.
Acceptance
Playfulness is fostered by an attitude of unconditional acceptance. The young person’s safety is enhanced when their inner self is never at risk for rejection, ridicule, or disappointment.
Curiosity
An attitude of curiosity is a “not-knowing” stance that requires that the carer inquire about the child’s inner life that led to the behaviours under concern.
Empathy
Our team constantly strive to understand the child’s emotional state and never forget that, given their history, they are doing the best they can.
Staff have an incredible understanding of the children in their care, going above and beyond to meet their needs.
Trauma Informed Care
We at Esland strive to offer all of our young people trauma informed care. This means that we strive for every interaction to be therapeutic in nature. We hold in mind the power of the other 23 hours. This means that we see the importance of non-directive interventions outside of direct therapy.
Our therapeutic placements place great value in ensuring our young people feel emotionally safe and are able to build trusting relationships. We focus on offering routine, predictability, structure and the chance for life experiences not achieved by young people so far.

The clinical team achieve this by offering a mixture of direct and non direct interventions. Direct intervention is in the form or direct therapy where we can offer a range of therapeutic models to best meet the needs of the young person based on our initial assessments.
Non-directive interventions includes supporting the care team through bespoke training, reflective practice, design of key working sessions, 1-1 staff consultations and support with placement planning and matching of young people in a home.
