About the Practice
When a child’s emotional wellbeing is affecting education and family life, parents need to know the local therapeutic route. Derby City Therapeutic Services supports Derby 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?
Derby Local Therapeutic Route: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Counselling and Family Support: 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 service can help families connect emotional wellbeing, education and development rather than treating each as a separate problem.
