Creative Arts therapy referrals

Our referrals


We work with children between the ages of 4 and 13 years who may be experiencing social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. Many children come referred through local schools but we also accept referrals from children's services and other agencies working with children and families. When funds allow, it can be possible for parents to refer directly.

Schools we work with 


Westminster Cathedral Catholic Primary School

St Clement Danes CE Primary School 

St Matthew’s Primary School 

St Gabriel's CE Primary School

St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School 

Burdett Coutts & Townshend Foundation CE Primary School

Those experiencing:

  • Emotional and behavioural difficulties
  • Family problems
  • Bereavement issues
  • Social and communication problems
  • Under achievement at school
  • Parental drug, alcohol or mental health problems
  • Domestic violence
  • Abuse, bullying or trauma
  • Risk of exclusion
  • Displacement 
  • Looked after children

How does it help?


  • It helps children gain insight into their own difficulties
  • Understand their emotions
  • Find ways to come to terms with their experiences
  • Understand themselves better in relation to others
  • Improve understanding of the child within the family
  • Provide a psychological thinking space for teams around the child
