Carefully Selected 1:1 Residential Placements for Teens and Young Adults

About Me

Before I became a psychotherapist, I worked for 12 years as a doorman in Manchester — standing between chaos and control, reading risk in seconds and learning how respect is earned, not demanded. That experience still shapes my work today.

My approach is integrative and deeply personal, combining therapeutic training with real-world understanding. Having later retrained as a psychotherapist, I bring a rare ability to connect quickly and authentically with teenagers — earning trust where others meet resistance.

In 2008, inspired by the Channel 4 series Brat Camp, I founded the UK’s first independent behavioural camps for teenagers, originally known as Teenbratcampuk. Over time, my work evolved into today’s Teencamps-UK Residential Model: a discreet, therapist-led, 1:1 residential intervention for families seeking professional behavioural change in the UK and Spain.

Families Concerns

Damon, "Is one week really enough to make a difference?"

While short, the week is intentionally intensive—combining therapeutic structure, practical challenges and expert 1:1 input. Families regularly report noticeable improvements in emotional regulation, communication and behaviour after just 7 days with many continuing to see progress long after residential ends. For teens experiencing deeper issues then a longer period of time may be more suitable. We can also provide ongoing support.

Damon, "We're worried that our son won't engage without technology or home comforts?

" Many teens initially resist the idea of disconnecting but once immersed in the calm, structured environment they will often respond with surprising openness. Without digital distractions they begin to reflect, connect and engage in ways that aren't possible at home and this shift is often the turning point families are seeking".
