Introducing OSC's Psychologist

Strengthening Support Through Therapeutic Practice

At One Step Care, we are always looking for ways to strengthen the support we provide to our young people and the teams who care for them every day. As part of this commitment, we are pleased to welcome a dedicated psychologist who will work alongside our staff to help embed therapeutic practices across our services. By integrating therapeutic thinking into day-to-day care, our teams can better understand the experiences, emotions and behaviours of the young people they support, helping to create environments where they feel safe, understood and able to thrive.


Working collaboratively with our Residential Support Workers and wider team, the psychologist will support the development of trauma-informed and reflective practices that empower staff and improve outcomes for young people. Through guidance, shared learning and practical strategies, this partnership will help strengthen our approach to care and ensure we continue providing nurturing environments where young people can build positive relationships and work towards brighter futures.

About Dr. Robinson

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Marie Robinson, Consultant Psychologist and Director of Your Mindspace, to One Step Care.

Dr. Robinson brings over a decade of experience working with children and young people, with a specialist focus on complex trauma, developmental needs, and therapeutic care within residential settings. Her work is grounded in a deep commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable children, ensuring that every young person is supported with understanding, compassion, and evidence-based practice.



As a Chartered Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), Dr. Robinson combines clinical expertise with a practical, collaborative approach—working closely with teams to embed meaningful, lasting change.

Making a meaningful difference

For the children and young people in our care, this partnership introduces greater access to tailored psychological support where it is needed most.

Dr. Robinson will support assessment and intervention processes, helping to identify the most effective therapeutic approaches for each individual. With a strong emphasis on attachment, emotional regulation, and skill-building, this work supports young people to feel safer, develop resilience, and begin to process their experiences in a healthy way.

By integrating psychological insight directly into care planning, we can ensure that support is not only consistent—but truly personalised to each young person’s journey.

Looking Ahead

This is an exciting step forward for One Step Care.

By investing in specialist psychological support, we are continuing to strengthen our commitment to delivering high-quality, therapeutic care environments—where both our young people and our teams are supported to grow, reflect, and succeed.
