About us
Safe & Supportive Homes for Young People
What Sets Five Aspen Ltd Apart
1. Small, Therapeutic, Child-Centred Provision
Our residential provision is deliberately small-scale, enabling:
Individualised care
Strong relationships between children and staff
Reduced institutionalisation
Greater emotional safety and stability
Children are cared for in family-style homes, not large or impersonal settings.
2. Clear Therapeutic Model Embedded in Daily Practice
Our care model is Dyadic Development Practice (DDP) informed, underpinned by the PACE principles of Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy.
This approach:
Supports children affected by trauma and attachment disruption
Promotes emotional regulation and positive relationships
Reduces conflict and incidents
Helps children make meaningful progress over time
Therapeutic practice is embedded into daily routines, key work, supervision, and leadership oversight.
3. Strong Safeguarding Culture and Governance
Safeguarding is embedded at every level of Five Aspen Ltd.
Clear safeguarding policies aligned with local safeguarding partnerships
Robust reporting and escalation pathways
Active engagement with LADO, police, health, and education
Regular staff training and reflective supervision
Strong audit and oversight frameworks
Leadership maintains a clear line of sight on practice, risk, and outcomes.
4. Experienced and Accountable Leadership
Our services are led by an experienced Responsible Individual and Registered Manager, supported by a clear governance structure.
Local authorities can expect:
Consistent management presence
Clear accountability and decision-making
Timely responses to concerns
Honest, professional dialogue
We believe in partnership, not defensiveness.

With years of experience supporting looked-after children and their families, I am deeply committed to ensuring the safety, stability, and well-being of every child in care. My career has been shaped by a passion for advocating for vulnerable young people, working tirelessly to create environments where they can heal, grow, and thrive.
Collaboration is key in this work, and I take pride in leading multidisciplinary teams—bringing together schools, healthcare professionals, mental health services, police, and community organizations to create holistic care plans tailored to each child’s emotional, educational, and social needs. I’m especially skilled at guiding children through the transition into care, making sure their wishes and feelings shape their journey.
I regularly chair and contribute to Child in Need meetings, LAC reviews, and case conferences, ensuring all professionals involved are aligned in providing consistent, effective support. My experience includes working with children who have faced trauma, using therapeutic approaches and evidence-based practices to help them build resilience and move forward positively.
Behind the scenes, I maintain detailed case records and uphold Ofsted and statutory standards, ensuring compliance while managing complex caseloads. I’m also dedicated to continuous learning, always seeking new training and reflective opportunities to strengthen my practice.
Most importantly, I believe every child in care deserves love, stability, and opportunity. My mission is to empower them, stand by them, and work alongside dedicated carers and professionals to build brighter futures—one child at a time.
