Providers of integrated wellbeing services
Well qualified and experienced professionals approach the personal and social wellbeing of children and adults from a variety of angles, intensifying the therapeutic effect.
Our Purpose
Whispering Trees, set in a peaceful, countryside environment, offers schools, parents, business/community organisations and members of the public wellbeing programmes. A variety of practical activities make use of the attractive, outdoor setting which presents as a horticultural facility and an animal smallholding with a large log cabin nestling in four acres of land.
The wellbeing programmes are designed to help individuals reduce stress and assist participants to effectively regulate their emotions to enhance self-esteem, promote relationships and maintain / discover / re-discover their emotional equilibrium. Small groups are also welcome to participate.
Programmes & Training
Children & Young People Programmes
At Whispering Trees we promote respect for self and others and aim to help young people to make meaningful connections, initially through the media of nature, horticulture, animal care and countryside skills. Your child/student will be in safe hands and, when people feel safe and valued, they are ready to engage with the risky process of learning. Learning readiness opens doors.
Whispering Trees Sets The Scene! Welden School Becomes Our Class Act!
In September 2023 Whispering Trees CIC opened Welden School for up to 9 students whose high anxiety needs militate against attendance of larger schools. Referrals come from Local Authorities by way of placement on Whispering Trees’ participant programmes. Students are from age 10 on admission.
Please see the WELDEN SCHOOL website: www.weldenschool.com for more information.
Adult Programmes
Whispering Trees aims to respond to a range of adult needs from (hopefully preventive) business burn-out to adaptive responses to life-changing events.
Going back to basics looks like a good (and relaxing) place to start. How much more basic can one be than to focus on the land and living things? Looking a little deeper may suit you. You choose the depth and pace – you are in control. If you’re fed up with making decisions, let us know. We’re flexible. It’s your space.
Resilience Building
Resilience starts with Back-up. Whispering Trees is there for participants – not just for 6 weeks but for as long as the participant wishes – given negotiations with regard to time, space, staffing etc.
Training
Training is currently another open door. We have a lovely log cabin (the equivalent to a 3 bedroom bungalow) which gives scope to provide for lessons for students, post-school/ work in-service training or for hire for small groups of trainees on external courses. The countryside setting with plants and animals adds to the relaxing feel of the venue.
