What We Do

Tree Tops are a registered charity who offers an Early Interventions Service to

emotionally distressed young people. Our two dimensional goal focused integrative

therapy firstly provides an opportunity to cope with any current or long standing

distress and secondly ensures learned skills and strategies that will aid any future

challenges. This leads to enhanced self-esteem, self-efficacy, resilience, improved

physical health, higher academia, achievements, raised prospect's and earnings

potential, stronger communication skills and improved relationships, which impacts

on the wider community and family and peer relationships. This will assist the young

to reach their potential and be equipped with learned cognitive coping skills for life.

What Do We Hope To Achieve

o To enable young people to resolve/reduce painful issueso To enable a young person to feel good about themselves

o To enable a young person to function effectively and know strengths

Where We Provide Our Services and Our Ethos

We are able to provide our services at our base, which is a lovely old Victorian house

in a discreet location. As an alternative we have successfully created and developed

independent, safe and confidential accessible services within other organisations.

These services arepromoted to the young people whilst partnership and inter

agency collaboration ensures compatibility to schools and Salford City Councils

safeguarding, associated plans and policies.

Schools Based Services.

Many children and young people's emotional states are noticed within the school

environment, when reduced academia and behaviour changes become noticeable to

the teachers, and are often the only place to gain support.
