Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Gestalt Humanative The above is only an example of the therapies we have used and use, each is provided by a specialist in their own field, for example all of our play therapist are registered and regulated by Play Therapy UK (PTUK), the body responsible for the registration and licensing of play therapists. All therapists receive supervision from a clinical supervisor of their governing body and regular feed back is given both to the home and placing authority. Evidenced therapy and results based therapy are the hallmarks of success, PTUK for example has a large and extensive evidenced based clinical data base as does the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy to which we expect all our therapists to be affiliated to through their member organisations or are members themselves. Our BOMM approach to therapeutic enables results to be shown to authorities and Ofsted as a matter of good practice. Details of all therapeutic interventions and their outcomes can therefore be found in the child’s placement plan. We recognise that the outcome of many psychotherapeutic outcomes are measured qualitatively, that is to say that the growth and achievement of objectives is measured by the quality of their life now against that prior to admission to Shelldene House. However in doing so we also seek to measure quantitatively in order to provide commissioning officers, local authorities and Ofsted Inspectors with numerical evidence of a child’s psychological and physical growth. To do this we use a variety of quantitative Psychometric tools alongside our BOMM sheets that also have an element of quantitative measurement within them. In this way we can provide both hard and soft data of a child’s growth and achievement whilst at Shelldene House.
