Working in close collaboration with CEPP colleagues, the SEMH team enhances and complements existing provision to ensure a cohesive, whole-school approach to supporting children and young people (CYP).  

Our team works to address a wide spectrum of SEMH needs through a range of targeted and systemic services. These include assessment, planning, intervention, and whole-school development.  

Assessment and Planning  
  
We provide a comprehensive approach to understanding and supporting pupils’ SEMH needs through: 

Individual Pupil Assessments  
Identifying strengths, challenges, and areas for targeted support. 

Consultation and Planning Meetings  
Collaborative discussions with SENDCo, senior leaders, pastoral and teaching staff to plan appropriate support for individual students or inform wider school strategies. 

  

Targeted SEMH Interventions 

 
We provide evidence-based support through individual and small group interventions tailored to each child or young person’s needs.

Our approaches may include:

  • One-to-one therapeutic support
  • Small group interventions
  • CBT-informed strategies
  • Mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques
  • Solution-focused approaches
  • Conflict resolution and restorative practices

Using creative, therapeutic and strengths-based approaches, we help children and young people to:

  • Build confidence, self-esteem and resilience
  • Understand and regulate emotions
  • Develop positive relationships and social skills
  • Explore family, attachment and support networks
  • Process experiences and overcome challenges
  • Identify strengths, goals and pathways for positive change

Whole-School SEMH Support 

We can support schools in establishing and embedding a systemic SEMH approach, helping to create environments where all pupils can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
