Therapeutic Consultancy for Children's Homes
Direct therapeutic work with the young people in your care, and clinical guidance for the team around them, from a BACP-registered psychotherapist who works in residential children’s homes every week. Available in and around London.
What's Included
Support for Young People and the Team Around Them
Waiting lists for outside therapy can run for months, and staff are often left managing behaviour without the support to understand it. My consultancy brings both together: direct work with the young people who need it, and regular guidance for the adults around them, with written reports that show the progress being made.
Work With Your Young People
Weekly or fortnightly 1:1 therapeutic sessions in the home, with session notes and a monthly report for each young person.
Guidance For Your Team
Monthly team consultation, practical strategies grounded in PACE and the 3 R's, and optional staff training.
With Your Young People
1:1 Therapeutic Work in the Home
I work with young people in the home, where they already feel safest, so support can start from the first month rather than after a long wait.
- Weekly or fortnightly 1:1 therapeutic sessions
- Written notes after every session
- A monthly therapeutic report for each young person
- A monthly check-in assessment completed with the young person
- Attending team around the child (TAC) and professionals' meetings
Every young person is different, so the pace and style of sessions are shaped around them, and we review how things are going together each month.
With Your Team
Guidance and Consultation for Your Staff
What happens in sessions only works if it carries on in the day-to-day life of the home. I work with your staff so the whole team understands what sits behind a young person’s behaviour, and responds in the same way.
- A monthly team consultation, in person or online
- A monthly staff assessment of each young person
- Practical strategies built on PACE and the 3 R's (Regulate, Relate, Reason)
- Optional staff training, in person or online
A Clinical Ally to Your Team
I’m Ryan Selby, a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist. Alongside my private practice, I work in residential children’s homes every week, with young people and with the managers and care staff who support them.
My work is trauma-informed and grounded in attachment theory, PACE and the 3 R’s. I can also work alongside other therapists or clinical leads, so that what happens in sessions carries on in the day-to-day life of the home.

FAQs
A few things you might be wondering
How often would you see each young person?
Weekly or fortnightly, depending on what each young person needs. Frequency can change as things progress, and we review it together each month.
Where do sessions take place?
In the home, where young people feel most settled. Team consultations can be in person or online.
Who sees the notes and reports?
Reports are shared with the home manager and the professionals you agree on. I explain to each young person what stays private and what needs to be shared, and any safeguarding concern is passed on straight away through your home’s procedures.
What areas do you cover?
I work with children’s homes in and around London.
How is the consultancy priced?
There’s a monthly fee for each home, covering team consultation and oversight, plus a fee for each young person depending on how often I see them. You’ll get a clear written proposal after we’ve spoken.
How do we get started?
Book a short call to talk through your home and the young people you’re supporting. I’ll then visit to meet the manager and the team, and send a clear written proposal with the scope and monthly cost. Sessions start once you’re happy, and we review what’s working every month.
Still have any queries?
Book a call and I’ll answer anything else about how consultancy would work for your home.
