OUR SERVICES
We have two Mental Health nurses (Carrie Bates and Jo Gibson) and a Youth Support Worker (Claire Preston). Our team supports young people with a range of difficulties or mental health issues, including young people who may self-harm or have suicidal thoughts ideation. We each provide 1:1 therapy/support and group work.
A Mindful Paws runs on Thursdays from 4-8 pm at the Gateway at Hinchingbrooke School. We accept referrals from any professional working with the young person. You can download a referral form from the Downloads page.
ART GROUP
Claire is an experienced Youth Support Worker. She uses a counselling approach, and her Art group is specifically aimed at young people with social anxiety and is a very gentle, non-threatening space for young people just to be and participate as they feel able to. Her 1:1 support will be tailored to the individual using a client-centred approach.
MINDFULNESS PROGRAMME
Jo has years of experience as a family worker and has completed some systemic training and training in delivering Mindfulness to young people. Her group will be a Mindfulness programme, and her 1:1 support will use Mindfulness skills and therapeutic interventions that she would use in her CAMHS role, tailored to the individual.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (DBT)
Carrie's group is a DBT with dogs' skills group, teaching the basic DBT skills. Her 1:1 support will mainly draw on DBT and other therapeutic interventions but to link in with how dogs manage or how she would help them with similar difficulties.
OTHER PROJECTS
We also have small projects running alongside, the first of which is a yoga group delivered via Zoom
