Relationship-led wellbeing, rooted in schools

"Every young person deserves a safe space long before things reach breaking point."

Tea of Therapy is a specialist children's mental health organisation working directly within schools across England. We embed our practitioners into school communities — building trusted relationships with students, staff, and families so that support is always close at hand.

Founded on the belief that early intervention changes lives, we combine evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a genuine, human-centred touch. We don't just deliver sessions — we become part of the school fabric.

  • Relationship-led practice at every level
  • Trauma-informed and child-centred approaches
  • Data-driven — we track and report on every outcome
  • Culturally aware and inclusive by design
  • Safeguarding-first, always

Trusted by schools, loved by families

Real words from the people we work with every day.

"Tea of Therapy didn't just place a counsellor — they changed our entire school culture around mental health. Students who never would have sought help now walk up to our counsellor in the corridor. The difference is remarkable."

Sarah Evans
Head of Wellbeing, East London School

"My daughter was really struggling and I didn't know where to turn. Within 48 hours of filling in the form, we had a match. Three months later she's a completely different child — confident, happy, communicating. I cannot thank Tea of Therapy enough."

"Working with Tea of Therapy is unlike any other school counselling role I've had. The peer supervision, the support from the team, the genuine care for practitioners — it makes you a better counsellor. Highly recommend to any qualified therapist."
