Working with families and professionals to enhance children’s emotional health & resilience.
At KOCO, we offer professional support and expert advice to young people and their families; delivered in their home or a venue of their choice.
We provide early intervention to young people and families on matters of emotional health and well-being in a personal, sensitive and thoughtful way.
KOCO was established to work creatively, flexibly and sensitively with young people, families and professionals during times of need.
Founded by Child Mental Health Specialised Nurse Kelley Osman in 2017, KOCO is an independent emotional health consultation service for children and young people. Kelley’s associates within KOCO include child psychologists, dietitians and therapists. We work together to meet the needs of individuals and their families.
Services
However your family is configured, each member has a unique role and relationship within it. Being a parent or carer is an amazing experience and can be a wonderful time in our lives. It can, however, also be the most demanding, isolating and exhausting job we do!
KOCO offers support to schools and other professionals with observations and clinical opinions for guidance on a child’s presentation in a timely and responsive way. Kelley and her team offer: professional and personalised support to schools to identify areas of concern early; guidance to bolster school based interventions and/or support towards a referral to appropriate agencies.
