Alula Therapy is being built by Dr. Katharine Ayivor-Nygard.

If we want regulated children, we need regulated adults. That single conviction sits at the heart of everything Alula does. Children don’t experience their emotional world in consulting rooms. They experience it at 7am, at the dinner table, in the care home at 2am. The adults holding those moments, parents, carers, teachers, and key workers, are the most powerful resource in any child’s life. And the most consistently under-equipped. Alula puts clinical psychology where it is needed most: in the hands of the adults already there. FOR PARENTS AND CARERS Evidence-based tools to help you understand your child’s emotions, behaviour and needs, moving from confusion and self-blame towards clarity, confidence and connection. FOR RESIDENTIAL CARE TEAMS AND FOSTERING SERVICES A clinically grounded platform that builds shared psychological understanding across your team, supports placement stability, and equips your workforce to respond with confidence to complex presentations, alongside clinical consultation and supervision. FOR COMMISSIONERS AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES A cost-effective, clinically governed model that extends psychological reach across a workforce without replacing existing provision. Built with corporate parenting responsibilities and early intervention evidence at its core. FOR SCHOOLS AND EARLY HELP SERVICES A structured approach to embedding psychological thinking into pastoral practice, giving the adults around a child a shared language and consistent framework. Founded by Dr Katharine Ayivor-Nygard, Chartered Clinical Psychologist with nearly two decades of experience across NHS, family court, residential care, and forensic settings. If you are serious about prevention, early intervention, and building calmer environments around children, we would like to talk.
