Thornby Hall

Thornby Hall is a beautiful seventeenth century manor house situated in rural Northamptonshire with 17 acres of grounds including a lake. It is a therapeutic community with nearly 25 years' experience of providing residential care, special education and family support to young people aged twelve to eighteen.

We specialise in the treatment of young people who present severe emotional and behavioural problems, as a result of attachment difficulties usually rooted in early life trauma.

Through the use of our unique Integrated Systemic Therapy, which focuses on healing trauma and enabling healthy attachments and relationships, young people achieve exceptional outcomes in every aspect of their lives. We have consistently been judged as 'good' or 'outstanding' in statutory inspections.

Our staff are highly trained to enable young people to work through their experiences of past trauma in a safe and containing environment designed for group living and learning. We provide a strong group-based culture which helps young people engage with their difficulties, and support one another in recovering and achieving their potential.

We aim to create a therapeutic environment in which we work with the young people enabling them to live together, learn and develop. We place much emphasis on caring and thoughtful relationships and creating a sense of belonging.
