​Tendring Families First has received vital funding from Colchester Catalyst Charity to provide Psychotherapy for our children and young people with more severe, complex and persistent mental health difficulties and disorders.
This project has been developed in response to the increasing numbers of children and young people presenting with more complex and enduring psychological difficulties.
Tendring Families First children referred to the service will receive: Up to 12 weeks support per child to include:

• Baseline Mental Health Screening Assessment
• Liaison with Parent/Carer to seek parent view child assessment ( if appropriate)
• 12 weeks of 1:1 Psychotherapy Sessions
• Representation at TAF/Professionals Meetings (if appropriate)
• Signposting/Referrals to Additional Support Services
• End Point Evaluation & Recommendations

Children who would benefit from Psychotherapy include children with more severe mental health difficulties and disorders, who have tried CBT and Counselling with little or no improvement.
​Psychotherapy is more in depth that counselling and explores the past as well as the present. Psychotherapy looks at childhood root issues instead of just behavioural patterns. ​
