Personalised support, wherever you are.

We know that not every child is ready to come straight into a formalised learning environment – and that’s okay. Orchard Therapeutic Outreach (OTO) brings our nurturing, practical approach to the places young people feel most safe: home, community spaces.

This is support that meets you where you are - emotionally and physically. With a calm, relational approach, we focus on trust building, communication, and gently exploring what’s possible.

Our initial 1:1 programme

Exploring options, building confidence, and addressing anxieties – all in the comfort of home, a local community space, or online.

The Outreach is a one-to-one offer delivered at home, in the community, or online. It’s ideal for young people experiencing high levels of anxiety, school avoidance (EBSA), or simply needing time and space to reset.

Through consistent relationships and the Thrive Approach, we begin to build confidence, reduce anxiety, and explore next steps at a pace that feels right.

Where it takes place: 
Home | Community space | Online
