An individual, tailored, multi-disciplinary approach
We have defined our method to illustrate how our approach is different from others in order to focus our practice – it is a shared commitment to what we do, how we do it and why we are confident in the impact we have.
The UP Way is informed by our strategy, and driven by three principles:
Individual
We start with the needs of the individual and design our offer to meet them.
Tailored
We provide the support that each child, family or school needs, not standard solutions or programmes.
Multidisciplinary
We offer the ‘right’ combination of different therapeutic solutions for each situation.
Tailored Multidisciplinary Therapies
Our approach allows us to tailor the ‘right’ combination of therapies for the individual child, family or school, advocating for inclusive, trauma-informed environments that recognise and respond to neurodivergence, adversity and other forms of difference and diversity.
Psychology (Psychotherapy)
Thoughts, emotions, behaviours
Communication (Speech & Language Therapy)
Speech, voice, language, social and communication skills
Skills & Environment (Occupational Therapy)
Play, regulation, self-care, life skills
Our Method
Our offer is focused on therapeutic practice in schools and with families, but extends far beyond this:
Collaboration
We believe in the power of collaboration and partnership and the potential to achieve systems change, and are committed to being part of the bigger changes that can be achieved when we work together with others.
People
We are a multidisciplinary team of skilled professional therapists with breadth and depth of experience. We live by our values. We are committed to supporting and training the practitioners of the future and pass on our values and approach.
Mindset
Our mindset is generous, curious and outward facing. We actively look for opportunities to share our knowledge, expertise and skills to achieve greatest impact. It is not about what UP can do, it is about how we can collectively bring about change.
Innovation
We believe that new ideas can have greater impact and drive systems change. We embrace new ideas and ways of working which can enable us to reach more children and families. We are thought leaders, influencers and conveners.
Our Culture
At UP we are committed to a positive shared positive culture for all:
