Helping Children Thrive and Reach their Potential
Children are in Crisis
In 2023, approximately 1 in 5 children and young people between the ages of 8 and 25 were estimated to have a probable mental disorder.
Statistics are showing:
- A 48% increase in school exclusions between 2022 and 2023.
- A disproportionate of children excluded from school have a special educational need.
- Children encountering challenges at school are because of mental health struggles.
- This year, 20% of pupils (1.5 million pupils) are persistently absent from school
- NHS England has been expanding Mental Health Support Teams within schools, covering 35% of students in 2023 and planning to extend this to 50% by 2025
- More than a quarter of a million (270,300) children and young people are still waiting for mental health support after being referred to CAMHs in 2022-23
- 372,800 children and young people had their CAMHs referral closed without accessing any support due to not meeting the threshold.

Our Mission
The Child Therapy Service CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to creating neurodivergent-affirming, evidence-based therapeutic interventions to prevent mental ill-health in children.
Our mission is to reduce mental health challenges in young people by addressing the root causes of emotional dysregulation.
Our Approach
Our method empowers families and professionals to identify the ‘why‘ behind dysregulation, supporting you in developing a solution-focused plan, and signposting you towards evidence-based, neurodivergent-affirming creative interventions.
Together, we can support you to help children:
- RELEASE + REDUCE: Emotional Overwhelm
- RECALIBRATE + RESET: Towards a Regulated System
- REBUILD: Positive Belief Systems
What Others Say “Super training with such a knowledgeable practitioner. Engaging, interesting and full of strategies and techniques I was able to take away and start implementing straight away! I’d highly recommend this to everyone looking to add creative skills to their tool kit – just wonderful!” Kirsty (Google Review)
Our Vision
BOUNCE teaches children about their brains and nervous systems, helping them handle situations that push them out of their comfort zones. Through bespoke printable resources, strategies, music, and creative activities, BOUNCE helps children understand themselves better and gives them tools to manage overwhelming feelings.
Think of it as a child’s ability to BOUNCE back to release triggers from the past and BOUNCE forward to develop the potential of their future.
Our Vision
Our vision is to have BOUNCE Practitioners in EVERY SETTING. These practitioners will help children identify the root cause of their emotional overwhelm, release it from their nervous system through somatic, body-based exercises, recalibrate and reset their system to tolerate greater regulation, and guide them towards rebuilding a positive mindset and belief system.
