Agenda: psychoeducational workshop regarding emotional awareness and coping with big feelings.

Using images, drawing and conversation we explored how emotions present themselves as physical sensations, body and facial expressions and what we can do to cope with them.

Thank you Montessori Training Centre & The Child's Workshop Kindergarten for the hospitality and opportunity to assist your children in learning about emotional regulation.

It is important to acknowledge the complex emotional landscape people often experience when beginning to recognize their neurodivergence. Contradictory feelings that commonly arise - like relief mixed with grief, or excitement alongside uncertainty

Proud to have contributed a chapter to the newly published book "When Therapy Goes Wrong". My chapter explores managing risk in remote practice - an area that's become increasingly relevant and important in recent years.

The chapter highlights the complexities of providing remote therapy across borders. It captures my emotional turmoil and ethical challenges when handling a remote su***de risk. Through supervision and reflection, the crisis transformed into growth, strengthening safety protocols and deepening my commitment to ethical, responsive, and emotionally attuned remote practice.

Grateful to be part of this thoughtful collection, and always open to conversations about how we navigate challenges and safeguard good practice in a digital age.

You can find the book on Satinder Panesar's website - the mastermind who made this happen (link in photo) and Amazon.
