Therapeutic thinking woven through everyday life.
At Solice, therapeutic support is connected to the relationships, environments and everyday experiences surrounding each child.
Thinking together.
Assessment, formulation, consultation and reflective practice help teams remain curious about what a child may be communicating and what support they may need.
Therapy is not confined to a therapy room.
Relationships, co-regulation, shared experiences and moments of connection and repair can all contribute to therapeutic change.
The Roots to Wings Model
Our therapeutic approach recognises that growth begins with safety and understanding. The Roots to Wings Model provides a developmental framework for supporting children and young people from understanding their experiences, through growth in the present, towards greater confidence, independence and hope for the future.
ROOTS
Understanding the past.
Our experiences shape how we understand ourselves, relationships and the world around us. We begin with curiosity, safety and connection, helping children and young people make sense of their experiences and build secure foundations for growth.
BRANCHES
Managing the present.
With stronger foundations, therapeutic work supports emotional awareness, regulation, relationships, identity and the skills needed to manage everyday life.
WINGS
Preparing for the future.
As confidence and capacity grow, the focus increasingly turns towards independence, choice, participation and future possibilities, supporting young people to move forward with greater agency and hope.
Six principles of therapeutic practice
Our therapeutic approach is shaped by six interconnected principles that guide how we understand, respond to and support each child in our care.
The Solice Journey
Therapeutic support at Solice is not a fixed programme or a straight line. Each child’s journey develops at their own pace, shaped by their needs, experiences, relationships and readiness for change.
