About Us
Our Story
Our founders met whilst working in Children’s and Adolescent mental health services in Sussex. With contemporary experience, training and expertise as highly skilled mental health practitioners, they bring a broad and varied skill set and experience. The team hold professional registrations and Degree level training in Social care, Mental Health Nursing, therapeutic practise and business management. Offering years of practical experience in the field of treatment and care for young people with mental health difficulties, alongside additional therapy and treatment based trainings and a wealth of experience working in complex health and social care settings in the community and in hospital. In addition to this, the team have experience in service improvement, transformation and commissioning.
More Than a Thought has evolved not just from our experience and knowledge as experts in the field, but also by listening to the voices of children, young people, parents and health and others working in mental health care. Fundamentally, we understand the value of open air and creativity and we know that we can offer something different to help in a meaningful way, by offering a range of practical, nature-based treatment and therapies which are bespoke to you.
The evidence is overwhelming, providing alternative venues to offices and clinics, giving purpose and meaning to interventions and putting you and your child and young person at the centre of a carefully designed programme of treatment and therapy in nature, focussing on what can be done rather than restrictive practice is at the heart of our vision.
We are very excited to be offering this new service , and to be tailoring our significant skills to create a contemporary, evidence based mental health recovery programme not just for young people, but for the whole family.
