Animal Therapy

Interaction with Animals

Interacting with animals has been proven to help with social skills. Animal-assisted activities help improve social skills and encourage emotions of empathy and passion. Animals can also create a calming environment.

Animals offer non-judgmental companionship, helping to reduce anxiety, build trust, and foster a sense of emotional safety. Through activities like grooming, feeding, or simply spending time with animals, young people can develop empathy, patience, and responsibility—skills that are often challenging for those with EBD.

We encourage supervised interaction with goats, dogs and horses at our provisions.

Outdoor Activities

Spending time outdoors can have a profound positive impact on Young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD). Being outdoors, particularly in green spaces, has proven positive effects in encouraging a reduction in stress and anger.

Nature provides a calming, low-pressure environment that can help reduce stress, anxiety, and agitation. Outdoor activities such as walking, gardening, or team sports encourage physical movement, which supports emotional regulation and improves mood through the release of endorphins and other happy hormones.

Being in green spaces can also enhance focus, reduce impulsivity, and create opportunities for positive social interaction and teamwork. For many young people with EBD, the outdoors offers a sense of freedom and space to express themselves safely, helping to build confidence, self-esteem, and a stronger connection to the world around them.

Journaling and Thought Recording

Thoughts become actions. The way we think and what we do affects how we feel. We encourage thought recording as a way of therapy but this is not obligatory.

Journaling can be a highly effective tool for young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD), offering a safe and private outlet for expressing thoughts and emotions. Writing helps navigate through complex feelings, enabling awareness around patterns in behaviour. It encourages reflection, which can lead to better emotional regulation and problem-solving skills over time. Journaling also provides a structured way to release frustration, anxiety, or anger without confrontation. For many, it becomes a therapeutic practice that supports personal growth, builds resilience, and empowers them to take more control over their emotional well-being.

Reward Therapy

Dependent upon good behaviour, Friday treats will include an activity such as;

  • bowling
  • swimming
  • horse riding

Reward therapy encourages positive reinforcement to strengthen desirable behaviours. Studies show this has been effective in managing Young people, particularly those with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD). It focuses on recognising progress rather than punishing setbacks, which is especially important for young people who may struggle with trust, self-regulation, or authority. Over time, this approach can help shape more positive behavioural patterns, improve emotional resilience, and foster a greater sense of responsibility and achievement.
