About BrightRoots
BrightRoots is a community-focused service offering compassionate, trauma-informed support to children, adults and families. Our work is driven by the belief that strong emotional foundations create safer, more resilient lives.
Who we are
We are a small team of experienced practitioners who specialise in child development, family systems, and adult counselling. Our team combines professional training with practical experience supporting families in everyday settings.
Mission & values
Our mission is to help people build safety, connection, and confidence. We work with kindness, honesty, and a focus on real-life outcomes — not jargon. Our values include dignity, accessibility, and a commitment to keeping children safe.
Why this service exists
Many families face stressors that quietly affect wellbeing. BrightRoots exists to provide accessible, steady support — early, practical interventions that stop problems from becoming crises and to help families rebuild healthy patterns.
Trauma-informed philosophy
Our practice recognises that behaviour and emotional responses are often adaptations to difficult experiences. We prioritise safety, choice, and empowerment, tailoring strategies to each person's developmental needs and context.
Long-term support
We focus on sustainable change: helping parents and carers develop supportive routines, working with schools where appropriate, and supporting individuals through ongoing therapeutic work when needed.
Accreditations
Lead Therapist Lucinda holds Practitioner Accreditation with the Complementary Therapists Accredited Association (CTAA) (Member No. 10665651) and diplomas from Chilton and KEW Training Academy. Certificate details are available on request.
How we work with you
BrightRoots focuses on short, practical steps that families can use straight away. We combine skilled listening with simple routines and small practice tasks you can try between sessions.
- Step 1: We listen — understand the everyday patterns and what's most important to your family.
- Step 2: We introduce small, measurable changes (a bedtime routine, a calm-down box, a one-minute breathing script).
- Step 3: We practise together and help you adapt the plan for school and home.
- Step 4: We review and plan next steps — add more supports or refer when specialist input is needed.
