Ollie and his SuperpowersThe Ollie Concept is a simplistic but oh so empowering therapeutic model to help young and old take control of their emotions rather than be controlled by them – turning how we deal with emotional wellbeing on its head!  At the heart of the Ollie concept is a passion and commitment to building the resilience and wellbeing of children  The Ollie Model focuses on the emotions that create the behaviour rather than trying to change a behaviour without removing the root driver. This means that a child or adult can understand the driver and then find empowering better choices to deal with the need of the root emotion. As a result, we don’t have re-occurring behavioural issues as is often the result of a lot of other therapeutic interventions. The model also aims to empower parents/carers/teachers with the tools they need for themselves and their children so that neither are dependent on a therapist to fix them.   .
