For us, Emotional Education means educating children on all aspects of emotions, well-being, and mental health. At Bridge the Gap we specialise in nurturing Emotional Literacy skills, boosting self-esteem, and supporting a growth mindset by using a relationship focused approach.
We provide a range of services for children from birth and we also work with adults. Our team of practitioners can provide one-to-one and group sessions in a safe environment that suits individual needs.
We also have lots of FREE resources available to support you as a parent or a professional.

Get in touch with us if you have any questions about our service.
Yours and your child's mental health matters and you are not alone. Whether it is a community event or our private service you are very welcome.
You can self-refer into our private 1:1 service, or schools and G.P's can do it for you. We then arrange a telephone assessment with a member of our team (just with adult referrer) to ensure that we are recommending the right pathway for support. Our practitioners also work with schools who fund us to go and support a child over a 12 + week period. If play or music therapy is deemed to be an appropriate next step then a separate assessment will be made by the therapist.
Assessment calls are £40 and last around 45 minutes. They are a safe, relaxed and informal discussion to help you from the very beginning.
If we know of any funded or free support available we will always inform you and share the details.
We have lots of FREE resources, spend some time exploring the site; why not ask your child to take a look with you as well? Keep checking back, we create new resources every month and don't forget to subscribe to our mailing list as well.
As well as FREE information leaflets, activity sheets, videos on our YouTube channel, and posters, we also have a FREE online course for parents. This course is full of useful information on how to support a child who might be in crisis, really useful to access this proactively as well - just in case.
