About Greenfields Therapeutic Community and School

Greenfields House is a large detached Edwardian house with an extensive garden situated in a rural location near the village of Biddenden in the heart of Kent.

We provide therapeutic residential care, treatment, special education and family support to a group of up to ten children aged between five and thirteen years old, with provision for therapeutic education for a further five day children.

We specialise in the treatment of children who present severe emotional and behavioural problems, including abnormally sexualised behaviour, 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, children achieve exceptional outcomes in every aspect of their lives. We have consistently been judged as 'good' in statutory inspections.

Our staff are highly trained to enable children to work through their experiences of past trauma in a safe and comfortable environment designed for group living and learning. We combine individual therapy with a strong group-based culture which helps children 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 children enabling them to live together, learn and heal. We place much emphasis on caring and thoughtful relationships and creating a sense of belonging.
