This approach is supported by an extensive research and training programme provided by our own Institute of Integrated Systemic Therapy. Our outcomes are nationally benchmarked by the Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC). Our care, treatment and education staff receive clinical training from the Institute, accredited by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and Middlesex University.
