Our approach to therapy

Mable's approach, grounded in research, is to deliver creative, engaging and motivating sessions, designed to make therapy fun, and accelerate progress. 


"Mable’s offering is unique because they use technology that the children are familiar with. The activities are gamified and it becomes a stress-free experience where learning can occur. They have highly skilled staff who know how to interact with our children. The pupils engage in the sessions and in some cases, it is the only intervention they are happy to attend."

"Outstanding support, care, advice and knowledge. The rapport built with each and every child with our Mable Therapist has been incredible to watch and learn from. Mable really is a unique and caring service which I would recommend to any educational setting."
Lydia Martin

SEND Coordinator

"Over the years we have referred a number of our children to Mable and one of the things we love about it is that it's very tailored to the specific needs of our children.  The expertise and the breadth of experience within the Mable team has enabled us to target specific pupils who have specific concerns."

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Designed to engage and motivate

Our gamified video platform is the result of years of research into how to engage and motivate children and young people to get the most out of their therapy.

Designed by our team of therapists, education specialists and psychologists, it features games, activities and resources which bring therapeutic concepts to life and explain ‘big ideas’ in a simple way. The familiarity of the online platform is also proven to reduce anxiety and accelerate progress.

AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION

Does online therapy really work?

Studies show that online therapy can be just as effective as traditional sessions. In fact, as 'digital natives', children and young people often prefer accessing therapy this way, as it's more familiar and less daunting than a clinical setting.

Our interactive platform is custom-built to deliver children's counselling and speech & language therapy. Every activity, game and resource is researched and designed to reduce anxiety and accelerate them through their therapeutic targets. It offers increased accessibility, flexibility, and comfort, increasing the child's chances of seeing therapy through and achieving their goals.

CONNECTING WITH CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE

Using technology to improve outcomes

Creativity plays a vital role in both counselling and speech and language therapy, offering a safe and engaging way for children and young people to express emotions and ideas they may struggle to communicate. Through activities like drawing, storytelling, and imaginative play, children can process complex feelings in a non-threatening environment. These creative approaches are particularly helpful for those facing anxiety, trauma, behavioural challenges, or communication difficulties.

Creativity isn’t just for younger children—it’s effective for teenagers too. For older children, creative methods provide an abstract way to explore themes and emotions without confronting them directly. This promotes problem-solving, resilience, and a sense of control, while also fostering self-expression, confidence, and self-esteem. It’s an especially powerful tool for those who are reluctant to engage in traditional therapy.

At Mable Therapy, we integrate creativity into all of our sessions, making therapy fun, meaningful, and empowering for children and young people of all ages.

At Mable, we know how important it is for children and young people to feel truly involved in their therapy for it to be effective. That’s why we’ve created a platform that speaks to their interests, incorporating familiar technology from gaming, apps, and social media. This familiarity helps ease any anxiety, making the sessions feel more relaxed and inviting.

When children feel comfortable, they’re more likely to build trust with their therapist, allowing them to open up and engage more deeply. Our counsellors and speech therapists use fun, age-appropriate techniques—like play, art, and creative exercises—to make the sessions enjoyable and interactive. For younger children, this kind of engagement is especially crucial in their early development, and we work closely with parents and carers to weave therapeutic techniques into everyday activities like play and storytelling.

By creating meaningful connections and using creative, personalised approaches, Mable Therapy helps children and young people thrive in their sessions, making progress toward emotional wellbeing and stronger communication skills.

We make therapy more engaging and enjoyable by incorporating game-like elements such as rewards, levels, and interactive challenges into our counselling and speech and language sessions. By tapping into children’s natural love for technology and play, we create a fun and familiar environment that helps reduce anxiety and makes therapy feel approachable.

These gamified activities teach essential skills like emotional regulation, communication, and problem-solving in an interactive, low-pressure way. By practising real-life scenarios in a more abstract way, children and young people can reflect more deeply, making their learning more impactful. The sense of achievement from completing challenges and earning rewards boosts their self-esteem and resilience, keeping them motivated throughout their therapeutic journey.

While gamification enhances engagement for many, our therapists tailor each session to fit the child’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring that therapy remains personal, meaningful, and effective for every individual.
