Our Approach

About Together A Part (TAP)

 

Healing Through Connection. Growing Through Understanding.

At Together A Part (TAP), we see the whole person, not just the behaviour. We believe that true well-being and personal growth come from understanding and addressing the underlying emotional and developmental needs that shape our experiences. Our approach is holistic and person-centred, rooted in the belief that by nurturing the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, we can empower individuals, families, and teams to heal, connect, and thrive.

Our goal is to work collaboratively with you through a therapeutic and trauma-informed lens. We know that lasting change happens within safe, trusting relationships. That is why our work is grounded in leading evidence-based models, including Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), which prioritise building connection as the foundation for growth and wellness.

Who We Support

 

We channel this expertise to support the dedicated people and organisations at the heart of children's care and education. We provide tailored services for:

  • Foster and Adoptive Parents: We walk alongside you on your unique journey, offering therapeutic guidance and reflective spaces to help you build trust and connection, navigate the complexities of therapeutic parenting, and flourish as a family.

  • Children's Care Homes: We partner with managers and staff to embed a whole-home therapeutic culture. Through training, consultancy, and reflective practice, we help you reduce critical incidents, improve staff well-being, and create a stable, nurturing environment where children can heal.

  • Schools and Educators: We work with school leaders, teachers, and support staff to create 'Connected Classrooms'. Our trauma-informed strategies help reduce disruptive behaviour, increase student engagement, and support staff well-being, fostering a positive learning environment for every child.

 

Our Commitment to You

 

Whether it’s through 1-1 sessions or through reflective practice and supervision for your team, we are here to guide you every step of the way. TAP is committed to providing easy and responsive access to support, ensuring our services are available when you need them most.

Our ultimate aim is to help individuals find their path to wellness and to help organisations create environments where both staff and those they care for can grow and flourish together.

 

What Inspires Together A Part?

At Together-A-Part, our inspiration stems from a profound commitment to meeting the therapeutic and emotional needs of individuals and organisations. We are driven by the belief that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and thrive. Our passion comes from both personal experiences and a professional dedication to providing holistic, trauma-informed support. We are inspired by the potential for transformation when we take a whole-person approach, addressing the mind, body, and spirit.

What fuels us is the knowledge that by offering accessible, tailored services — from consultancy and training to reflective practice and therapeutic policies — we can help organisations create environments where both individuals and staff feel empowered to succeed. Our work is inspired by the idea that true healing and growth come from creating safe, supportive spaces where people can address underlying needs, overcome challenges, and ultimately reach their full potential.

Key Principles

Our approach is guided by key principles that centre on empathy, respect, and collaboration. We believe in a trauma-informed, holistic understanding that goes beyond surface behaviours to address the underlying emotional and developmental needs of each individual. By recognising and responding to the root causes of behaviours, we empower organisations and individuals to create lasting, meaningful change.

We are committed to providing person-centred support that considers the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — fostering an environment where healing and growth can flourish. Our principles are rooted in a deep belief that true transformation occurs when we work together, with a shared vision, to create safe, supportive spaces for both individuals and teams. Through reflective practice, therapeutic interventions, and bespoke training, we strive to offer practical solutions that enhance well-being and enable everyone involved to achieve their full potential.

Measuring Success

We measure the success of our services through a combination of client feedback, surveys, case studies, and ongoing observations. By continuously evaluating the effectiveness of our work, we ensure that our tailored, person-centred approach is meeting the unique needs of each individual and organisation. We believe that true success is not only reflected in immediate outcomes but in the long-term growth and transformation of those we support.

Our success is also measured by the positive, lasting impact on the well-being of individuals, the empowerment of staff, and the creation of nurturing environments that promote healing and development. Through regular feedback and progress tracking, we gain insights into how our therapeutic interventions, training, and consultancy services are fostering healthier, more supportive spaces. We are committed to refining our approach based on this ongoing evaluation, ensuring that we consistently provide solutions that drive positive change and support personal and organisational growth.
