Therapeeze - The InnerMe Project, Newcastle upon Tyne (2026)

28/05/2026

One of the biggest reasons I created the InnerMe Project and developed the R.H.Y.T.H.M approach…

Was because I realised something really important 🤍

We cannot keep focusing solely on the child’s nervous system…whilst the parent is completely overwhelmed too.

For years, so much support centred around:
👉 the child’s behaviour
👉 the child’s emotions
👉 the child’s regulation

And whilst all of that absolutely matters…

I could see so many parents trying to co-regulate whilst their own nervous systems were already running on empty.

Trying to stay calm whilst everyone needed something from them at once.
Trying to create safety whilst carrying stress, emotional exhaustion, sensory overload, grief, pressure and overwhelm themselves.

And honestly?
I think parents can end up feeling like they’re somehow failing if they:

✨ snap
✨ shut down
✨ need silence
✨ feel touched out
✨ emotionally hit capacity

As though co-regulation means becoming endlessly calm and endlessly available all of the time.

But I don’t think that reflects the reality most families are living in.

The R.H.Y.T.H.M approach within the InnerMe Project focuses on recognising the nervous system of BOTH the child and the parent first.

Because regulation does not happen in isolation.
Nervous systems constantly respond to each other.

And when the whole household feels overwhelmed… everybody feels it.

This is exactly why I created InnerMe Club 🥰

Not another parenting advice space.
But a supportive community built around a whole-family nervous system approach.

A space where parents can:
🤍 understand behaviour differently
🤍 understand their OWN nervous system too
🤍 protect connection in the hard moments
🤍 feel supported instead of judged
🤍 stop carrying everything alone

Because children need supported adults around them…

And adults deserve support too 🤍

For years, most of my focus was always on the child.

The child’s behaviour.
The child’s regulation.
The child’s sensory needs.

And whilst that absolutely matters… over time I realised something really important.

Nothing truly changes long-term when the whole household nervous system is overwhelmed.

Because parents are trying to co-regulate whilst running on empty themselves.

I’ve been there too…trying to stay calm whilst my own nervous system was overloaded, overstimulated, touched out, emotionally exhausted and carrying the mental load of everything.

And honestly?
Parents deserve support too.

That’s exactly why InnerMe Club focuses on BOTH the child and the parent. 🤍

Inside the community we will explore:
✨ your child’s nervous system
✨ your nervous system
✨ co-regulation in real-life moments
✨ support through the hard days
✨ protecting connection when everyone feels overwhelmed

Because when the parent feels more supported…
the whole relationship begins to feel different too.

Some days, parenting children with big emotions feels like living in survival mode from the second your eyes open.

Before you’ve even had a drink, someone is overwhelmed because their socks feel wrong. Someone else is shouting because breakfast isn’t in the right bowl. You’re trying to stay calm whilst your own nervous system is already saying: “Please, not today.”

And then the guilt creeps in because you snapped quicker than you wanted to.

Not because you don’t understand them.

But because your body is overwhelmed too.

And honestly? 🥰

I think far too many parents are trying to co-regulate whilst completely dysregulated themselves.

That’s not failure. That’s exhaustion.

I got you

As I sit here today in the shade because honestly… my own body couldn’t cope with the heat ☀️🥵

I found myself thinking about so many of the families I support whose day today probably feels really hard.

The children who:

✨️ haven’t managed to leave the house because the heat feels too much for their nervous system
✨️ have had meltdowns linked to unrecognised overheated bodies
✨️ start activities then stop within minutes saying they’re “bored”
✨️ refuse to sit in the shade because they genuinely don’t think they’re too hot
✨️ are bright red, sweaty and overwhelmed but still say they’re “fine”
✨️ argue over drinking water, wearing hats or taking layers off
✨️ suddenly become more emotional, louder or more oppositional
✨️ don’t recognise thirst or hunger until their body completely crashes
✨️ struggle with clothes touching them when hot
✨️ appear “fine” one minute then suddenly completely dysregulated the next

And honestly…

This is why understanding bodily signals matters so much.

Because sometimes what looks like “behaviour” is actually a child struggling to recognise what their body is trying to tell them.

As a Specialist Occupational Therapist working with neurodivergent children, burnout, meltdowns, shutdowns, EBSA and nervous system overwhelm every single week…

I speak to parents daily (and for over 19 years) who are carrying so much behind closed doors.

✨️Trying to hold everything together.
✨️Trying to stay calm whilst their child feels overwhelmed.
✨️Trying to survive another difficult morning, another after-school crash, another bedtime battle, another phone call from school.

And so many parents are doing it feeling completely alone.

That is exactly why I created the InnerMe Club. 🤍

🚫Not another parenting course.

🚫Not surface-level advice.

🚫Not “just be firmer”.

🚫Not more pressure to get behaviour under control.

The InnerMe Club is a supportive community space for parents who want to understand behaviour through the nervous system, sensory processing and interoception.

A space where parents feel heard, understood and supported by people who truly get it.

A space focused on connection over compliance.

✨ Inside the InnerMe Club you’ll receive:

🤍 A warm, supportive parent community where you can connect with others who understand the reality of daily nervous system overwhelm
🤍 A private parent forum with ongoing support and interaction from Kate most days
🤍 A growing on-demand video library covering regulation, burnout, masking, meltdowns, shutdowns, EBSA, sensory needs and behaviour through the body
🤍 Downloadables, visuals, practical strategies and regulation tools for home life
🤍 2 live support and coaching sessions every month
🤍 A free 20-minute onboarding call with Kate when you join to help you feel supported from the very beginning
🤍 A body-first, neuroscience-informed approach centred around safety, connection and regulation

Together we explore:

✨ Why your child’s behaviour makes sense
✨ What sensory overwhelm can actually feel like inside the body
✨ Why traditional behaviour approaches can increase distress and survival responses
✨ How to support your child’s nervous system before crisis point
✨ How to reduce daily overwhelm and firefighting at home
✨ How to co-regulate whilst protecting your own nervous system too
✨ How to create calmer, safer family rhythms that actually feel manageable in real life

This is for the parent who feels emotionally exhausted.

The parent constantly overthinking.

The parent trying to support everyone else whilst running on empty themselves.

You do not need to carry this alone anymore. 🤍

✨ BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND INVITE ✨

The InnerMe Club is open for new members this weekend.

£40 per month
Cancel anytime.

And all joining members will receive a free 20-minute onboarding call with Kate to help you begin understanding your child’s nervous system and where to start.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing is realising:

You were never failing.
Your child is not broken.
And there is a different way forward.

Sometimes the hardest part about teaching nervous system regulation…is remembering to listen to your own nervous system too.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve taken a little step back from social media.

Not because I’ve stopped caring.
Not because The InnerMe Project has slowed down.
But because I needed to practise the very thing I spend every day teaching families and professionals:

👉 regulation before pressure
👉 safety before performance
👉 connection before pushing through

As adults, especially those supporting children with big emotions, sensory needs or trauma histories, we can become so focused on “keeping going” that we stop noticing what our own body is asking for.

Sometimes our nervous system whispers first:
“I’m tired.”
“I need quiet.”
“I need space.”
“I need slower.”

But when we keep overriding those signals, eventually the body speaks louder......and that’s something I never want the families I support to feel shame around.

At The InnerMe Project, this is exactly why I focus so heavily on:
🧠 nervous system safety
🌱 interoception and body signals
🤍 co-regulation
🎵 sensory regulation
🏠 practical everyday support for real life families

Because regulation isn’t just a strategy for children.

It’s something we all need.

Sometimes regulation looks like movement, laughter and connection.

And sometimes regulation looks like:
✨ stepping back
✨ reducing pressure
✨ protecting your energy
✨ allowing recovery without guilt

I’m still here quietly working behind the scenes on some really exciting things for InnerMe, supporting families, building resources and creating support that helps children feel safer in their bodies instead of simply “better behaved.”

Thank you for staying here with me while I practised what I preach 😉

And if nobody has reminded you lately:
You are allowed to slow down before your body forces you to.

What you reckon?

Most advice for burnout sounds like this:
✨️ “Go for a walk”
✨️ “Have a bath”
✨️ “Do some journalling”

But when you’re raising a child with big emotions…
that advice can feel miles off real life.

Because your body isn’t just tired…
👉 it’s holding stress
👉 it’s always alert
👉 it’s constantly thinking three steps ahead
So instead of adding more… let’s look at what your nervous system might actually be asking for.

✨ You might need to:

• Cancel plans — because your body needs less demand, not more
• Watch the same programme again — because familiar = safe
• Sit or lie on the floor — because grounding helps your body settle
• Order food — because decisions feel too much
• Do absolutely nothing — because your system needs space
• Go to bed early — because your body is trying to recover
• Put music on and sing, hum or dance — because rhythm helps your nervous system shift and release tension

This isn’t lazy...... this is regulation

And when you push past these signals…

✨️ stress builds
✨️ patience drops
✨️reactions get quicker
✨️ everything feels harder

And here’s why this matters for your child...... your nervous system sets the tone

Even a small shift in your body…can change how you respond and how safe your child feels.

So today isn’t about doing more.

👉 it’s about listening to your body

Today inside Regulate You, Support Them
we are focusing on your nervous system

This is where things start to feel different.

I read this feedback and thought… this is what people are actually looking for.

“I’ve learned so much… and she’s never afraid to try something different when something isn’t working.”

Because when you’re supporting a child with big emotions or behaviour that doesn’t make sense, it’s not about having a long list of strategies.

Most people already have that, right?

✨️What’s missing is understanding why something works one day… and not the next.

✨️Why one small change can calm everything… and another can escalate it completely.

That’s not inconsistency.

That’s the nervous system.

A child’s behaviour will always reflect how safe their body feels in that moment. So if something isn’t landing, it’s not a case of pushing through or trying harder. It’s a signal to step back and look at what their body might be telling you.

And this is where things begin to shift.

When you start seeing behaviour as communication from the body, not something to control or fix, you respond differently. You feel less stuck. You stop second guessing every decision.

You begin to trust what you’re seeing.

Because you understand it.

And when you understand it, you don’t need to keep searching for the next strategy.

You know what to do with the one you’ve already got.

The InnerMe Project is a body-first, neuroscience-led approach to understanding behaviour in children and families. It is built on one simple truth every single one of us has a nervous system, and that nervous system shapes how we respond, connect, and behave every single day.

I’m here to help you move away from confusion, overwhelm and constant firefighting, and instead understand what is really driving behaviour....both in your child and in yourself.

Because when you understand the body, everything starts to make sense.✔️

This space is designed for parents who are living with big emotions, shutdown, refusal, anxiety, or behaviour that just doesn’t seem to “fit.” It is also for those who are exhausted from trying strategies that don’t work, and are ready for something that actually supports the root cause, not just the surface.

I want this to be a supportive, therapeutic community where you can learn about your child’s nervous system, recognise your own responses, and feel less alone in it all. A space where there is no judgement, no blame....just understanding, practical support, and shared experiences that genuinely help.

✅ So, what do you want to understand?
I get asked questions all the time such as:
“Why does my child react so strongly to small things?”
“Why do they cope at school but fall apart at home?”
“Why do rewards and consequences not work for us?”
“Why do I feel like I’m constantly on edge or about to snap?”
“How do I actually support my child without making things worse?”

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

💡 Inside this space, you’ll start to see behaviour differently. You’ll learn how the nervous system works in real life, how safety shapes everything, and how small shifts in understanding can create big changes in your home, without adding more pressure or “things to do.”

💯 Sound like you?

Come and join us for free inside Regulate You, Support Them and be part of a growing community of parents for yhe next 3 days who are choosing connection, understanding and real support over confusion and burnout.
