Youth Work

Programmes created with experience, empathy, and real understanding.

Our Youth Intervention programmes have been created by Louise Rippon, an experienced facilitator, trainer and practitioner. As a Mum of six, her professional expertise and lived experience bring a unique, compassionate lens to every session.

With a broad understanding of neurodiversity, emotional regulation, and the challenges young people face in school and beyond, Louise has developed a suite of supportive programmes that meet children where they are.

Tap Into Calm™, Forward Think™, were written by Louise to address a section of the emotional, behavioural, and wellbeing needs of young people. These programmes will be in place within a local secondary school, in the new year, and data and outcome evidence collected will help shape ongoing review, reflection, and refinement.

All sessions are trauma-informed, creative, and inclusive, providing safe spaces where pupils can build confidence, self-regulation, and emotional awareness.

Fully insured and Enhanced DBS checked, Louise is experienced and suitably qualified in local safeguarding up to Designated Safeguarding Lead depth, bringing both professional accountability and a nurturing approach to her work.

These programmes not only empower young people to thrive but also help schools embed sustainable, evidence-led wellbeing practices that make a lasting difference.

Alignment with Ofsted Priorities

All Preziosa Therapia youth programmes — including Tap Into Calm™, Forward Think™, and any bespoke support packages are designed to complement schools’ existing wellbeing, inclusion, and safeguarding frameworks.

Each programme supports key areas within the Ofsted Education Inspection Framework, particularly Personal Development, Behaviour and Attitudes, and Leadership and Management.

By embedding evidence-informed, person centred, trauma-aware practice into everyday school life, these interventions help demonstrate a whole-school commitment to mental health, resilience, and inclusion.

As part of delivery we supply and manage the reflection aspect of the piece, which provides measurable outcomes and ongoing reflection cycles, aligning with Ofsted’s emphasis on impact, evaluation, and continuous improvement.

These programmes help schools evidence good practice while ensuring every pupil feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Tap into Calm™ Programme

Supporting emotional regulation, confidence, and wellbeing through tapping.
Tap Into Calm™ is a school-based wellbeing and emotional regulation programme that helps pupils manage stress, anxiety, anger, and overwhelm. Using gentle Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) often known as tapping pupils learn to reduce tension in the body, calm racing thoughts, and restore emotional balance.

The programme supports children and young people to:
Recognise and name their emotions.
Understand how thoughts, feelings, and the body are connected.
Practise simple self-regulation skills that can be used anytime.
Build confidence, resilience, and empathy for themselves and others.

Sessions are interactive and inclusive, combining reflection, discussion, movement, and guided tapping in a safe and supportive space. Each group is led by a qualified practitioner from Preziosa Therapia, ensuring an engaging and trauma-informed approach that complements whole-school wellbeing goals.

Now open for enquiries for youth settings from September 2026. If your school or organisation would like to bring in Tap Into Calm™, we’d love to hear from you.

Forward Think™ Programme

Forward Think™ is a structured wellbeing and mindset programme designed to help pupils develop self-awareness, confidence, and the skills to approach challenges with a positive outlook. Through reflective activities, guided discussion, and creative exercises, young people are supported to explore their goals, values, and future aspirations.
The programme encourages pupils to:
Identify their personal strengths and areas for growth.
Build resilience and self-belief when facing setbacks or change.
Strengthen emotional regulation and problem-solving skills.
Cultivate a sense of purpose and direction for the future.

Each session offers a safe space to think, talk, and plan, using therapeutic tools that encourage motivation, self-reflection, and emotional wellbeing. We aim to support young people to create alternatives behaviours that will support meeting their goals and ambitions. As well as supporting transition between key stages, preparing for exams, or building life skills, Forward Think™ helps pupils move forward with clarity and confidence.

Enquiries now open for schools and youth settings from September 2026. If your setting would like to deliver Forward Think™ as part of your wellbeing or personal development programme, please get in touch.

Bespoke Support

Therapeutic, creative 1-to-1 intervention for children who need a different kind of help.
Our Bespoke Support service provides flexible, trauma-informed interventions for children and young people who may struggle to engage in a traditional classroom setting. This includes pupils experiencing emotional-based school avoidance, difficulties with transition or emotional regulation, or those who need additional support and space to rebuild confidence and connection.

Each package is tailored to the individual, combining elements of therapeutic support, creative expression, and practical emotional-regulation techniques. Sessions may draw on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), sensory grounding, reflective discussion, or gentle goal-focused activities to help the child feel safe, understood, and ready to learn.
Working in partnership with schools and families, Bespoke Support packages can offers a compassionate bridge between home and education helping pupils re-engage, settle, and thrive both emotionally and academically.
