emotional literacy

At Bridge the Gap, we focus on emotional literacy because it gives children the tools to understand their feelings, manage challenges, and build strong, healthy relationships. It’s not just about coping in the moment, it's about giving them a foundation for lifelong wellbeing, with support that feels safe, connected, and truly makes a difference.

At Bridge the Gap, being relationship-focused means we take time to build trust with each child, creating a space where they feel safe, seen, and ready to explore their emotions.

Anxiety is a natural emotion, but without the right support, it can become overwhelming—early understanding helps children feel more in control and less afraid of their feelings. Our carefully designed, evidence-based resources empower parents and professionals to respond with confidence and compassion, using language that truly supports emotional wellbeing

Why is it different to counselling or therapy?
