Your Space Therapies Limited

What Your Space Therapies Limited does

Your Space Therapies Limited is a privately-held UK company founded in 2010 by Suzanne Ryan MA that delivers specialist child and adolescent mental health services to schools and educational institutions across England. The company provides qualified counselling, play therapy, and psychotherapy to Primary, Secondary, SEND Schools, and Academies, using an integrative arts and play therapy model that employs creative tools such as sand trays, clay, paints, and puppets alongside a holistic, team-based approach engaging school staff, parents/carers, and other professionals. The firm operates with approximately 25 staff from its registered office at Sompting Village Primary School in Sompting Lancing, West Sussex, and delivers services on-site at schools nationwide on arrangements ranging from one hour per week to full-time presence across an academic year.

Beyond direct therapy, the company has built a parallel training and consultancy business. This includes CPD-accredited courses for education professionals priced at £60-70 per delegate, live workshops for primary-aged children priced at £80 per session for up to 60 children, webinars and courses for parents and carers, and a suite of commissioned online courses delivered via Vimeo. A theatrical production, 'Cloudkid & The Mountain' for ages 5-8, was developed in partnership with Arts Council England to support children's mental health through original storytelling, musical score, poetry, and puppetry.

The business model is a hybrid of professional services (in-school therapy placements and bespoke consultation packages) and unit-priced training and workshop revenue, with publicly disclosed pricing for training and workshops and quote-based pricing for consultations. Its customer base spans educational institutions (primary, secondary, SEND, academies), local government and charity partners (West Sussex County Council, West Sussex Young Carers Service, Social Care Services, The Adoption Support Fund, Early Help), and consumer-facing parent/carer segments. Co-directed by Emma Connor MA, the company is founder-owned with no disclosed external institutional investment and was a finalist in the 2020 Children and Young People Now Awards for its pandemic-era online delivery partnership with West Sussex Young Carers.
