About us
Your Space Foundation CIC is a specialist counselling and psychotherapy service supporting children, young people, families, and adults across Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes, and surrounding areas.
We work with children and young people experiencing anxiety, school anxiety, emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), trauma, bereavement, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, friendship challenges, family changes, and other experiences that may be affecting their wellbeing. We also support adults navigating emotional and mental health difficulties, life transitions, loss, and overwhelming experiences.
Our approach is relational, compassionate, and trauma-informed. We believe that meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported. Therapy offers a space to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels right for each individual.
We recognise that not everyone communicates through words alone. Depending on age, needs, and preferences, sessions may incorporate play therapy, sand tray therapy, creative therapies, storytelling, therapeutic games, and other expressive approaches that help children and young people make sense of their experiences in ways that feel natural and developmentally appropriate.
Our therapists work integratively, drawing on a range of evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to the unique needs of each person. Whether someone is seeking support following a traumatic experience, coping with anxiety, managing school-related difficulties, or navigating bereavement, we work collaboratively to help them move towards greater understanding, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
Alongside direct therapeutic work, we offer therapeutic parenting support, recognising that children are often best supported when the adults around them feel supported too. We help parents and carers better understand their child's emotional needs, strengthen connection, and feel more confident in responding to challenges at home.
Parents often tell us that they feel less alone, more confident, and better able to understand what their child's behaviour may be communicating. Our aim is not simply to reduce difficulties but to help children, young people, and families build stronger foundations for long-term emotional wellbeing.
Sessions are available face-to-face in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes, as well as online across the UK.
If you are wondering whether counselling could help, we offer a free initial consultation for parents, carers, young people, and adults. This provides an opportunity to talk through concerns, ask questions, and explore what type of support may be most helpful, with no obligation to proceed.
Training, qualifications & experience
All counsellors and psychotherapists at Your Space Foundation hold specialist qualifications in therapeutic work with children and young people. Our team brings together clinical experience from therapeutic, educational, and community settings, supporting families worried about their child's mental health and wellbeing.
Our work is informed by:
- Trauma-informed and attachment-based practice
- Specialist child and adolescent counselling and psychotherapy
- Creative, play-based, and integrative approaches
We have extensive experience supporting children whose anxiety, school avoidance, or emotional distress is rooted in trauma, loss, or relational difficulties, including attachment disorder.
Alongside our therapeutic work, we also provide training, supervision, and consultation for professionals working with children and families, ensuring our practice remains reflective, ethical, and grounded in current understanding.
Member organisations *
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Further information
Counselling and therapy sessions are available face-to-face across Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes, as well as online. We offer a free initial consultation for parents, carers, young people, and adults who would like to talk through concerns, ask questions, and explore what support may be most helpful.
You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch. Many families contact us feeling uncertain, exhausted, or worried about making the wrong decision. We understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, particularly when concerns relate to anxiety, emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), trauma, bereavement, or changes in behaviour that are difficult to understand.
Our role is to provide a calm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where children, young people, and families can feel heard and supported. Alongside counselling and psychotherapy, sessions may incorporate play therapy, sand tray therapy, creative activities, storytelling, and other child-centred approaches that help children express and explore their experiences in ways that feel safe and natural.
Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, trauma, bereavement, school-related difficulties, low mood, emotional regulation challenges, or relationship difficulties, we are here to help. If you are wondering whether counselling may be right for your child or family, we warmly invite you to get in touch and arrange a free consultation.
