In 2000, Jess Lovibond began working with families in residential children’s homes, in front line social work, and later, in mainstream schools. Her work has focused on supporting children/ young people with their unique special educational needs (SEN) and their social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs.

Jess is a qualified child-centred therapeutic practitioner. She has qualifications as a specialist children and young person counsellor, and PGC in Applied Systemic Theory. Jess is a contextual safeguarding practitioner and is a Freedom project facilitator.

This means Jess starts any therapeutic work with the child themselves, and then explores the dynamic around that child. Her practice includes compiling a detailed assessment of three generations of the family to better understand how the family functions, and how the child operates within that family.

Through Jess’s work and experience she has implemented an existing practice model in an entirely new way, creating The JLTS Model, a unique holistic approach. This has proven to be a very successful method for people who are experiencing difficulties with complex relationships.

The JLTS Model is very successful for families who are going through tough times and our unique Holistic Assessment Framework ensures that Contextual Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do.
