Therapeutic Thinking Ltd

Therapeutic Thinking Ltd. offers consultancy, advice, and guidance to local authorities, large multi-academy trusts, individual schools and other similar organisations who wish to develop training based on relational practice grounded in evidence-based research.

Therapeutic Thinking has emerged over the past decade as a unique, evidence-informed approach to behaviour in schools. The programme builds on decades of educational experience and is grounded in attachment, trauma, ACEs research, and functional behaviour theory. It reframes behaviour as communication and prioritises the creation of safe, therapeutic cultures in which children and staff can thrive.

Over 20 Local Authorities and Multi-Academy Trusts that have adopted this approach have seen significant impact in reducing suspensions and exclusions, reducing the need for restrictive physical intervention and improved attainment and attendance. They have seen children’s wellbeing and engagement in learning improve through better understanding children’s needs and being able to support in the right way.
