For Schools

Your students' mental health, held by someone who's already in the room

Rising absences. School refusal. Behaviour that leaves staff stretched thin. You already know the need is there — what you need is someone qualified, embedded, and consistent to hold it. We become your school's in-house social and emotional therapist, working inside your school, not parachuted in for a term and gone.

Schools we work with

Comprehensive wellbeing for your whole school

We provide a qualified therapist who works with children and young people aged 5–18 — embedded in your school, familiar to your students, and part of your community.

  • 🧠

    An embedded qualified therapist — in your school

    Not a drop-in. Not a rota. One consistent, qualified therapist working regularly in your school so students build real trust.

  • 🎨

    Talking and creative therapy for ages 5–18

    We work with primary-age children through to sixth form, using approaches that meet each child where they are.

  • 💬

    Anxiety, low mood, behaviour, and school refusal

    The issues your staff are seeing every day — we're trained to work with them, so your teachers don't have to carry it alone.

  • 🤝

    Bullying and peer relationship support

    Supporting students navigating social difficulty, friendship breakdowns, and the emotional weight of being excluded or targeted.

  • 👨‍👩‍👧

    Family therapeutic support

    Where appropriate, we bring families into the work — helping parents understand what their child is experiencing and how to support them at home.

  • 🛡️

    Safeguarding-first, always

    Every practitioner is DBS-checked, trained in safeguarding, and works within your school's existing framework — escalating when it matters.

"Having Tea of Therapy embedded in our school has genuinely changed the culture. Students feel safer, staff feel supported, and we have the data to prove it works. I wouldn't go back to how things were."

How we work with your school

Every school is different. We take time to understand yours before we place anyone in it.

1

We meet, listen, and understand your school

A free consultation where we talk through your student need, current provision, and what you're hoping to change. No pressure, no pitch.

2

We match you with the right therapist

We place a qualified therapist who fits your school's culture, student age range, and presenting needs — not just whoever is available.

3

Your therapist becomes part of your school

They attend regularly, build relationships with staff, and see students consistently — so the support is real, not a gesture. We review with you termly and adjust as needs change.
