Therapeutic Thinking

Winners of Resource for SEND 2026!

Welcoming the Elliot Foundation

We are delighted to welcome the Elliot Foundation as our newest collaborator.

As a trust with a shared commitment to equity, inclusion, and supporting the emotional well-being of every child, their partnership marks an exciting milestone for our therapeutic family.

By joining forces, we look forward to expanding the reach of Therapeutic Thinking across their network of academies in East Anglia, London and the West Midlands, working together to foster relational, inclusive environments where both pupils and staff can thrive.

Therapeutic Thinking Ltd. offers consultancy, advice, and guidance to local authorities, large multi-academy trusts and other similar

organisations who wish to develop training based on relational

practice grounded in evidence-based research.

Adam Hayes is featured on The SENDCast

If you haven't already, be sure to listen to the recent episode of The SENDcast, where our Managing Director, Adam Hayes, joined host Dale Pickles to explore how relational, evidence-informed approaches can reshape behaviour policies in schools.

In the episode, Ensuring Behaviour Policy Closes the Gap, Adam and Dale share a refreshingly honest discussion about shifting away from punitive sanctions and building policies that focus on understanding unmet needs, promoting safety, and supporting genuine inclusion. It is a fantastic, practical listen for anyone looking to foster a positive, therapeutic culture within their setting.

Out and about - come and say hello!

It was fantastic to connect with so many of you at the TES SEND Show in London earlier this month. We loved chatting and sharing how settings are embedding Therapeutic Thinking.

Over the next couple of terms, our team will be out on the road exhibiting at several major conferences and shows, and we would love for you to drop by our stand to say hello, ask questions, or just catch up:

• NASS Annual Conference (11th-12th November)
• ARC National Conference (16th November)
• BETT UK (20th-22nd January)
• TES SEND Show North (5th-6th February)

Whether you are already part of our Therapeutic Thinking network or are exploring a relational approach for your school or trust for the first time, please come by and meet the team. We look forward to seeing you there!
