“As parents we have felt understood and listened to, in a way that has enabled us to share without judgement and move forward positively as a result.“
Adoptive parents who accessed ‘Connecting the Dots’
Adults and Families
In addition to offering talking based therapies, we work with movement and creativity, and provide therapeutic support for family systems.
We believe in empowering parents to become agents of change - they are the constant whilst therapy is temporary.
Connecting The Dots
Connecting The Dots is a 10 session programme incorporating therapeutic parenting and sensory integration approaches.
The programme aims to:
Enable parents to gain greater understanding of their child’s behaviour and to enhance knowledge of the hidden and expressed need.
Cultivate greater understanding of the sensory system and help parents to use this understanding to shape their parenting approach
Equip parents with greater potential to self-regulate and to co-regulate their child
Connecting the Dots draws upon Sensory Attachment Intervention, Sensory Integration approaches and utilises Therapeutic Parenting aspects of DDP.
“The change, understanding and clarity Connecting the Dots has brought to families is remarkable for 10 weeks.
Each therapist has so much knowledge, and they all work with such a supportive, caring and empathetic approach.
I cannot recommend it enough.”

“Things are so different for us since working with Laura, I feel like a different person! I now enjoy parenting my child and spending time with him, this was so hard for me before your support. Thank you Curiosity Project, you are amazing.”
