FPT
Where inclusion is the minimum standard
'FPT fills the gap in education and social support for the children that fall through the cracks of statutory services. They rebuild and inject confidence in young people that thought they were past helping. As a psychotherapist that has worked in schools across the county, this place stands above others as excellent in its approach, standards, staff and delivery.'

Our Programme
EBSA and resilience sessions explore the reasons behind why a child or young person feels anxiety, especially in educational settings and focuses on strategies to develop self esteem and confidence. We recognise that a student's need for EBSA is varied and with this in mind our various programmes have been designed to respond and support to different student needs.
Focusing on developing a young person's resilience is essential in ensuring a successful transition back into education or a post 16 pathway.
FPT's goal is to ensure that every student leaves us with a personal toolkit that they can draw on in situations that heighten their anxiety.
Our programmes can be delivered to small targeted groups or on a 1 - 1 basis.
