🌈 Relax Kids with Carole Haxton
at Shore Psychology

👧🧠 Helping Children Build Confidence, Calm, and Resilience

Hello, I’m Carole Haxton – a Relax Kids coach with a background in mental health nursing and psychological therapy. I’m excited to be running Relax Kids groups at Shore Psychology, offering children and young people a safe, fun space to relax, explore their emotions, and build essential life skills.

🦋 What I Offer:

The Relax Kids 7-step programme is designed to support children with:

✅ Managing anxiety
✅ Boosting low self-esteem
✅ Building confidence
✅ Learning lifelong emotional skills

Each session combines movement, mindfulness, games, breathing exercises, affirmations, and relaxation – all in a way that’s engaging and enjoyable for young people.

💬 A Bit About Me:

I’m a kind, empathic, and creative practitioner with a real passion for helping children navigate the challenges of modern life. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults across mental health settings, and became a Relax Kids coach in 2017.

I strongly believe that when children learn to understand and manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a healthy way, it sets the foundation for positive mental wellbeing. I’m really looking forward to seeing children grow, flourish, and gain confidence through these sessions.

📍 Where: Shore Psychology, 2 Sandport Place, EH6 6EU

📅 When: Starts Friday 22nd August
(Excludes Friday 5th September)

Not Sure if You or Your Child Needs an ADHD or Autism Assessment?

You’re not alone — and you don’t need to jump straight into a full diagnostic assessment.

At Shore Psychology, we offer Preliminary Assessments:

🔍 A 1.5 hour face-to-face session with an experienced clinician
📋 Review of questionnaires and personal history
🧩 Early screening for both ADHD and Autism, because they often overlap
🧠 Psychodynamic, evidence-based approach
💬 A written summary and expert advice on what to do next

The result?
➡️ Clarity, confidence, and cost-effective next steps — all for just £240

If we think a full assessment isn’t the right move, we’ll say so — and we’ll help you plan a better one.

This week marks the end of PTSD month. 1 in 3 people will experience something difficult or traumatic in their lives. Our experiences shape how our brain develops and functions – shaping everything. This can present as PTSD, complex trauma or C-PTSD. But, it can also present as….

* anxiety that won’t go away
* feeling low and stuck
* OCD-type behaviours
* Difficulties with regulating your emotions
* struggling in relationships
* Or having a low sense of self worth

That’s why it’s so important to work with someone who helps you see the full picture and helps find the treatment right for you. At Shore, we understand the importance of helping you understand your challenges in the context of “what has happened to you?” Rather than “what is wrong with you”

We offer EMDR therapy – a powerful, evidence-based treatment for trauma recommended by NICE guidelines. We have five trained and experienced EMDR clinicians who can support you to process both the physical and emotional responses to difficult things that have happened to you….helping you feel safer in your mind and body.

We can start work with you immediately. Don’t wait any longer if you feel you need help. Get in touch.

We know that trauma doesn’t just live in the mind — it lives in the body too.

That’s why we were so grateful to have the brilliant Janet McInnes, trauma-informed yoga practitioner and member of the Shore team, lead a gentle yoga session for our clinicians.

Through breath, movement, and stillness, we explored ways to come back to ourselves — to soften, to ground, and to reconnect.

At Shore, we prioritise the wellbeing of our team, because the work we do with others starts with how we care for ourselves.

This is trauma-informed practice in action.

At Shore, we believe in sharing knowledge, not keeping it to ourselves.

We recently welcomed Dr Emma Williams — an expert in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) to deliver a specialist training session for our clinicians.

FND is a complex and often misunderstood condition that sits at the intersection of neurology and mental health. Emma’s training was insightful, compassionate, and deeply grounded in both science and clinical experience.

We’re proud to be building a community where learning is ongoing, expertise is shared, and our clients benefit from the depth of knowledge held within our team.

Because when we learn together, we grow together.

This week marks Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week (5–11 May 2025), and we’re shining a light on the importance of supporting women’s mental health before, during and after pregnancy.

This year’s theme, “Your Voice, Your Strength”, is a powerful reminder of how vital it is for mums to feel heard, safe and supported.

Maternal mental health challenges affect 1 in 5 women. From anxiety and postnatal depression to birth trauma and burnout—you are not alone.

At Shore, we’re committed to creating a safe, compassionate space for healing and recovery.

A few reminders for all Mums:
* Talk about how you feel—reach out to a midwife, GP, or therapist
* Accept help when it’s offered
* Prioritise rest when you can
* Stay connected—don’t isolate
* Realise that at times you will be sleep deprived, so be gentle
* Be kind to yourself—small wins count

To all the mums out there: You are doing an amazing job. Even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.
