Bailey's Story: A shocking fall and a remarkable recovery
Children's mental health support Newcastle
Our comprehensive therapies, tests, and treatments for children
Integrative Psychotherapy
Trauma Informed: We offer a compassionate, individualised approach to support children in processing trauma, developing emotional regulation skills, building self-esteem, and strengthening social connections. Our work also empowers families to better understand and advocate for their child’s unique needs while honouring each child’s authentic self rather than promoting conformity to external expectations.
Blood & Biome Testing
Comprehensive blood testing, gut and oral microbiome testing and analysis can identify crucial imbalances in the oral and gut microbiome bacteria, inflammatory markers, and metabolic factors that affect brain development and function.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), which delivers high concentrations of oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure, has been shown to enhance cerebral blood flow, reduce neuroinflammation, and support mitochondrial activity. These physiological effects may help optimise cellular metabolism, improve regulation of oxidative stress, and promote overall neurological and systemic function in children presenting with diverse physiological symptoms.
QEEG Brain Mapping
Physiological Understanding: By identifying areas where connectivity is disrupted or inefficient, qEEG helps clinicians design personalised neurofeedback protocols that directly target the underlying neural imbalances. This tailored approach can support improvements in attention and concentration, emotional regulation and stress resilience, learning and memory, sleep quality, impulse control, and social functioning.
Neurofeedback
Brain Training: Neurofeedback is a non-invasive training method that helps the brain learn to function more calmly and efficiently. By providing real-time feedback on brain activity, it encourages healthier patterns of neural communication. Over time, this process can strengthen emotional regulation, enhance focus and attention, improve communication and social interaction skills, support better sleep, and reduce challenging or disruptive behaviours and much more.
Photobiomodulation Therapy
Therapeutic Strength: By enhancing cellular energy, cerebral blood flow, and neuroplasticity, it helps the brain work more efficiently while reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. For children and young people, this can support improvements in attention, learning, emotional regulation, sleep, and social interaction. The device also has wider applications in brain health, from aiding recovery after injury to reducing brain fog and supporting mood.
Buteyko Breathing Techniques
The Buteyko Breathing Method can reduce stress responses, improve sleep quality, sharpen focus, and support emotional regulation. For children, it also offers practical self-regulation tools they can use independently during moments of anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, asthma or other challenging situations.
Sleep and Circadian Rhythm
Sleep Hygiene: Evidence-based strategies such as consistent bedtime routines, morning light exposure, and reduced evening screen time help align this rhythm, supporting natural melatonin production and promoting deeper, more restorative sleep. In turn, these practices can ease anxiety, improve mood stability, and enhance daytime focus, not only benefiting children but also improving sleep quality and overall well-being for the entire family.
Nutritional Therapy
Food Science & Sensitivities: By reducing inflammation and identifying food sensitivities, nutritional therapy helps create a healthier internal environment, while carefully chosen nutrients support optimal brain function, emotional regulation, and sustained focus. This approach also addresses common gastrointestinal challenges, promoting better digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.
