Who we work with

Insight Therapeutic Consultancy works with organisations supporting young people in residential and supported accommodation settings.

We partner with services who recognise that safe, effective care depends on reflective systems, emotionally supported staff, and consistent therapeutic thinking.

We work with children’s homes supporting young people with a range of emotional, behavioural, and relational needs.

Our work commonly supports homes to:

• Strengthen therapeutic culture and consistency 
• Reduce risk and placement instability
• Support staff working with high levels of emotional demand 
• Embed trauma-informed thinking into everyday practice
   

We understand the pressures of residential care, including staffing challenges, regulatory scrutiny, and the emotional weight of the work.

 We work with supported accommodation services supporting adolescents and young adults, including post-16 and 18+ provision.

This may include work focused on:

• Supporting staff working with increased independence and risk
• Understanding self-harm, suicidal ideation, and emotional distress
• Managing boundaries, transitions, and autonomy safely
• Supporting services during periods of instability or growth
   

Our approach recognises the distinct challenges of supported accommodation while maintaining a strong therapeutic and safeguarding lens.

 We offer consultancy, reflective practice, and training to foster care organisations and networks.

This may include:

• Supporting foster carers and supervising staff
• Reflective spaces to process complex placements
• Strengthening trauma-informed understanding across services
   

Work is always shaped around the structure and needs of the provider.

  We work directly with:

• Registered Managers
• Senior leadership teams
• Responsible Individuals
• Service and operations leads
   

This work often focuses on:

• Strategic therapeutic thinking
• Managing risk and responsibility
• Supporting leadership resilience and decision-making
• Embedding reflective culture at all levels
   

Leadership work can be delivered alongside team-based support or as a standalone offer.

We support:

• Residential staff teams
• Multi-disciplinary professionals
• Care and therapeutic staff working together
   

Reflective practice and training can be delivered to mixed teams to support shared understanding, communication, and consistency of approach.

  Our work is most effective with organisations who:

• Are open to reflection and learning
• Want to move beyond compliance alone
• Recognise the emotional impact of the work on staff
• Are committed to improving outcomes for young people
   

We work collaboratively and respectfully, with an emphasis on containment, clarity, and sustainability.
