Our purpose-built therapeutic space is designed to provide a safe, welcoming and comfortable environment for the children, young people and families who come to visit us. We believe that this therapeutic space helps us achieve positive outcomes for our clients.

Located in the heart of Tunstall, our five-storey building features a range of therapy rooms, training areas, office and storage space to help us deliver the best possible therapeutic interventions and assessments.We regularly host training courses, which are delivered in our specialist facility. This is where we host our face-to-face TR-UST training course, as well as other training programmes for parents, carers and organisations.

At Gateway Psychology, we aim to facilitate each child's movement through the challenges or 'gateways' faced at a particular time, whether emotional, behavioural, relational or developmental. We recognise that the child or young person exists within a wider, often complex context and are careful to ensure that any 'problems' are not seen to be solely located within the child.
