Love-led practice is an approach centred on providing genuine care, emotional warmth, and a stable, loving, nurturing environment to help children feel safe, valued, and loved. For children who have experienced trauma, this approach is especially beneficial as it creates a secure foundation where they can begin to heal and trust others again. By offering consistent, compassionate care and emphasising unconditional positive regard, love-led practice helps children rebuild self-esteem, develop resilience, and establish positive relationships. This environment, rooted in empathy and trauma-informed principles, enables children to process their past experiences in a safe space and supports their emotional growth and overall well-being, laying the groundwork for healthier relationships and personal development.
