When the usual approach isn’t working

Some young people need another way to engage.

Traditional therapeutic support can rely heavily on talking, answering questions and explaining how you feel. For some young people, that can be the very thing that makes engaging difficult.

Our interventions create something to do together. Through storytelling, play, shared experiences, nature and body awareness, young people have opportunities to communicate, make choices, solve problems and explore emotions without everything starting with a conversation about themselves.

That is where Role Resolve is different.

Our creative interventions

Three different approaches. More ways to connect.

Therapeutic Role-Playing & Collaborative Storytelling

An adventure with a purpose.

Our therapeutic tabletop role-playing programmes bring small groups of young people together within a shared story, where the choices they make shape what happens next.

Behind the characters, challenges, dice rolls and adventures are carefully considered opportunities to practise communication, navigate relationships, solve problems, recognise emotions and experience being part of a group.

Rather than teaching these skills in isolation, young people have the opportunity to experience and practise them as part of the story.

Nature Connectedness

Sometimes changing the environment changes the experience.

Our nature-connected programmes take therapeutic and developmental work beyond the traditional room, using the natural environment to support connection, curiosity, emotional awareness and wellbeing.

Activities are adapted around the young people taking part, creating opportunities to explore relationships with themselves, others and the world around them in a way that can feel less formal and more accessible.

Somatic Practice

Helping young people notice what their body is telling them.

Emotions aren’t experienced through words alone. Sometimes our bodies notice what is happening before we have the words to explain it.

Our age-appropriate somatic programmes use movement, sensory awareness, body awareness and practical activities to help young people notice and understand their experiences without relying solely on conversation.

Two packages for schools

Choose the level of support that fits your school.

Schools can work with Role Resolve in two different ways, depending on the support they need.

Train your team

School Licensing Agreement

Our annual licensing agreement includes Level 1 training for teaching assistants, SENCOs and other staff working in education.

Trained staff can deliver Role Resolve interventions within their own setting. They are supported by our programme materials, practical resources and ongoing guidance.

Delivered by psychotherapists

Therapist-Delivered Interventions

Our therapeutic interventions can be delivered directly in school by Role Resolve psychotherapists.

This gives children and young people structured therapeutic support led by qualified practitioners. Where appropriate, we work collaboratively with school staff, families and the wider therapeutic team.

Low-cost counselling and priority access

Children who are already part of a Role Resolve therapeutic pathway can access our low-cost counselling service when further support is needed.

Schools with an active licence subscription receive priority counselling access for their students. This creates an immediate pathway from a Role Resolve intervention into counselling, without the school having to begin a separate referral process.

What could support look like in your school?

Every school is different, and so are the young people within it.
