About Us
Welcome to Cherry Lane Therapeutic Homes where our foundation is built on the values of social justice, connection, and therapeutic excellence. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where courage, empowerment, and inclusivity thrive, giving every child the opportunity to grow in a caring and just environment.
With over 20 years of experience heading an organization dedicated to helping children overcome adverse childhood experiences, we have developed the highest standards and strongest knowledge in our field. We are now channeling everything we've learned into building a new community with a clear purpose: to care for the most complex children whose level of vulnerability and risk makes them the most difficult to place but who need and deserve the best. Our intention is to foster strong leadership and democratic values. ​ Our mission is to deliver the highest quality of care, fight for social justice, and pursue the most effective interventions, always staying at the forefront of research and trauma understanding. We are joined by a like-minded manager who is passionate about nurturing, breaking down barriers, and employing a holistic approach with therapeutic tools, fostering resilience, growth, and self-expression in the children we support. Together, we partner with key agencies to provide the best support for children and families, never settling for the status quo and always advocating strongly for those in our care.
Our Therapeutic Models
Non-Violent Resistance (NVR)​
Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) is a therapeutic approach designed to resist destructive and harmful behaviours, drawing on peaceful methods, while improving relationships between families and communities.
It is a highly effective model that has proven to reduce conflict, enhance parental authority, and strengthen family bonds without the use of aggression or force.
​
You can find out more about NVR on the NVR Association (NVRA) website.
CBT Therapy​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy, which explores your problems in the here and now. CBT assumes that behaviours are linked to your thoughts and feelings, which are a product of the beliefs you hold about yourself the world and others. Some behaviour may maintain your problems or even make them worse. CBT believes that if you can better understand your thoughts you can change behaviours and beat self-defeating cycles.
ReAttach Therapy​
ReAttach is used worldwide by a diversity of therapists for children and adults with central neurological problems, functional neurological disorders, emotional struggles, speech disorders, post-traumatic and acute stress complaints or simply to help people reach their full potential and optimise areas of their life where they may have specific goals or lack confidence.
​
ReAttach uses voice, thinking tasks, and light rhythmic touch on the hands. It ensures that you can retrieve, register, and (re) place the correct information. The exercises create new brain connections that provide different insights and replace old patterns.
​
ReAttach provides relaxation, overview, and a new perspective for growth.

Why Yellow?
At our therapeutic provision, we chose yellow as our background colour because it brings a sense of warmth, positivity, and clarity. Yellow is known for its bright and welcoming nature, which helps create a positive environment for everyone who interacts with our services.
A Welcoming and Positive Environment
Yellow is associated with sunshine and light, making it a great choice for creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere. We want everyone to feel comfortable and at ease when engaging with our services, and yellow helps set a positive tone.
Supporting Neurodiversity and Accessibility
We are committed to making our services accessible to all, including neurodiverse individuals, such as those with dyslexia. The yellow background improves readability by increasing contrast and reducing visual strain. This makes it easier for everyone to engage with our content.
Promoting Calm and Focus
Yellow, when used in the right shade, can help create a calm and focused environment. It supports clear thinking and concentration, which is important in a therapeutic setting.
A Practical Choice
Yellow is not just a colour we like; it’s a practical choice that aligns with our goal of creating an effective and supportive environment. It enhances readability, accessibility, and the overall experience for those who use our services.
