Therapeutic services for children with complex trauma and attachment needs.

Who we help
Families
Oasis Psychology offers a range of direct therpeutic services.
Clinical Psychologists, Dr Laura Bennett and Dr Laura Dixie provide Video Interaction Guidance, a dyadic therapy to support attachment security.
Our Clinical Psychologists provide therapeutic parenting interventions for carers and parents alike.
Professionals
Oasis Psychology specialises in supporting professionals who work with children in care or on the edge of care through supervision, reflective practice, consultation and training.
We believe that placement stability and attachment security are essential for children's well-being and happiness and hold these as central to any of the work that we are doing.
Having a space to think through the complexities of working with families and the systems around them can allow for decisions to be made more mindfully and allow huge progress in securing stability for children.
How we can help you
Founded by Dr Laura Bennett, Oasis Psychology, in Wimborne, Dorset, is a specialist service to support professionals working with children and young people with attachment needs and developmental trauma.
Oasis Psychology comprises a team of multi-disciplinary professionals who are all DDP level 2 qualified and have extensive experience of working with this client group.
We understand that children who have experienced trauma may not have received the start in life that they deserve and that this will have affected their ability to form relationships with others. We work to help children work through their trauma through building secure connections and relationships with the people caring for them.
We believe that supporting children with attachment needs and developmental trauma requires a systemic approach and therefore, as well as offering direct therapy, we specialise in providing a range of services, including assessment, consultation, supervision and training, to support carers and professionals to provide the best therapeutic care that they can.

About Dr Laura Bennett
Hi, I’m Laura Bennett, a Clinical Psychologist with 17 years’ experience of working in the NHS.
When I was 17 I spent part of my summer volunteering on a project in Jersey, which allowed children from disadvantaged backgrounds to have a holiday, many for the first time. Each volunteer was assigned a child to mentor/befriend and the week was filled doing fun activities.
On that first holiday project I learnt so much about myself. I came home exhilarated, having loved the time I had spent with these damaged, yet amazing children. I didn’t know at the time, but many of these children had attachment needs and suffered with complex developmental trauma, but to me they were just children who needed a friend more than most.

A safe, therapeutic space
The team at Oasis Psychology understand the importance of providing a safe, consistent space for therapeutic support. Our therapy rooms, located in the centre of Wimborne, Dorset provide a comfortable space for professionals, parents and carers and children to meet their therapists and work through their concerns.
We also provide good quality tea and coffee for professionals in need of refreshment and a steady supply of drinks and snacks, for those children who live with the past trauma of not having been fed.
