A Unique Partnership with LifetrainUK

Our Distinctive Approach

At My Choice Children’s Homes, we pride ourselves on our innovative and diverse approach to therapeutic care for the children entrusted to us. Acknowledging that each child’s journey is unique, we collaborate with LifetrainUK to deliver a comprehensive range of therapeutic support packages tailored to meet individual needs.

Customized Therapeutic Support Packages

Every child in our care receives a personalised therapeutic support package designed specifically for their requirements. We understand that traditional therapy settings can be challenging for many of our children, especially those who have experienced trauma. Our approach emphasizes flexibility; therefore, we focus on one-on-one therapy delivered in environments that feel safe and engaging for each child.

Comprehensive Therapeutic Approaches

Our program incorporates a broad spectrum of therapeutic methodologies, ensuring that every child can find a path that resonates with them. Our offerings include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Core Renewal Therapy**
• Child and Adolescent Counselling
• Youth Coaching
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy**
• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

By providing this variety, we create bespoke programs that address the unique challenges and strengths of each child.

 Youth Work and Independence Programs

In addition to our therapeutic services, we offer a robust Youth Work Program centred around informal education. This program not only promotes personal development through a wide range of activities and experiences, but it also provides opportunities for accreditation. Participants can earn recognition through the AQA Unit Award for their achievements in our independence curriculum, as well as through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

A Holistic Approach to Child Care

At My Choice Children’s Homes, our multi-faceted approach makes us a distinctive provision in childcare, providing targeted interventions that genuinely address the diverse needs of children in our care. Our commitment to individualised support ensures that every child has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
