Gwent Child and Family Psychology and Therapies Service (CFPTS) is home to Psychologists, Family therapists and Child Development Advisors. These professionals work into a variety of settings and teams; supported by the admin team at Llwyn Onn in St Cadocs.
CFPTS promotes the emotional well-being and mental health of babies, children, young people, families and the communities and services who support them. It achieves this in many ways including consultations with other services, training in the community and direct therapeutic work with children, young people and families.
The interventions are based on a psychological formulation of a child, family or system which outlines the best course of care. Our interventions are targeted to empower the trusted adults in children's lives to feel confident in the power of their relationship to effect change.
Core Values
A focus on the child’s psychological development and emotional well-being underpins all our work. As a service we take a child centered approach to care.
Children live and grow in a wide range of families, care settings, schools, and communities. Our role is to work alongside the people in children’s lives to support children's psychological development and to help them to thrive.
To achieve our goal of supporting all systems around the child, we work into several different settings and alongside multiple agencies.
