About Nessie
Nessie supports vulnerable children, young people and their families with complex mental health needs who are struggling to access support.
We provide person-centered, therapy; support and CPD accredited training.
Nessie is a voluntary sector therapy organisation that focuses on helping children and young people (0 – 25 years) thrive.
Many children and young people we support are anxious about talking to a therapist. This could be because they have experienced trauma; they may be fostered or adopted; they may be neurodivergent; or perhaps they prefer more flexible, creative approaches.
We support children, young people, families and professionals in four ways:
Therapeutic Support
We offer 1-1 and group therapy for children and young people, including creative arts therapies, trauma-informed support and specialist SEND provision.
Training and Supervision
We provide training, consultation and supervision for professionals working with children, young people and families.
Family Support
We offer webinars, workshops and direct support for parents and carers navigating challenges such as anxiety, autism, EBSA, SEND and family wellbeing.
Nessie Community
Our online community brings together trusted advice, practical resources, expert guidance and peer support in one welcoming place. Whether you’re a parent, carer or professional, you’ll find tools, information and connections to help you feel more confident and less alone. Join the Nessie Community for Free!
Together our therapists have over 200 years of experience supporting children, young people and families. That expertise now sits at the heart of the free Nessie Community, giving parents and professionals access to trusted guidance, practical resources and ongoing support.
