About the Practice
When emotional distress sits alongside developmental or SEND needs, parents need joined-up help rather than another isolated appointment. Hackney Ark Children and Families Support supports East London families with play-based and counselling-style emotional wellbeing support for children who need more than another conversation at the kitchen table. The focus is safer expression, stronger connection and practical understanding for the adults around the child.

Why Work With Us?
Hackney Children and Families Route: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

SEND-Aware Pathway Coordination: Play, creative work and counselling-style support help children communicate through action, story, art, movement and relationship when direct questions only make them close down.

Parent and School Connection: The route can help families connect emotional wellbeing, developmental needs and local services so support feels less fragmented.
