Trauma Sensitive Services for young people

Our services are available from our therapeutic home in Sandycove, Co. Dublin, and through outreach across the island of Ireland. Our therapeutic approach to assessment, consultation, and intervention involves integrating specialised models. Our team has pursued additional training in therapeutic models known to help support recovery from childhood trauma, including the following: Theraplay, DDP, play therapy, sensory integration, sensory attachment intervention, Video Interactive Guidance (VIG) and child psychotherapy.

“Our therapeutic approach to assessment, consultation, and intervention involves integrating specialised models”

Assessments involve integration of attachment-specific measures and trauma specific methodologies to arrive at an individual narrative of the unique impact for the particular young person, and the therapeutic plan that will aid recovery. 

For young people for whom multiple previous assessments have occurred and for whom direct assessment would not be appropriate, we offer the Case Formulation Clinic, a collaborative space for adults to reflect on the young person’s strengths and needs and consider therapeutic responses.

We provide training, reflective practice and supervision to those working in the area of childhood trauma, as well as schools and community services.
