1:1 Wellbeing & Mental Health Support for Children

I offer individual, child-centred support for children who may be struggling with their wellbeing or mental health. Sessions can take place in education settings or at home, creating a safe and familiar space for the child.

Each child is unique, so support is tailored to their individual needs, interests and communication style. Sessions may include a mixture of approaches such as:
• Lego-based activities
• Sand play
• Drawing and talking
• CBT-informed techniques
• Creative play and conversation
• Coaching strategies for ADHD and ASD

I have experience supporting children who may be experiencing:
• Anxiety
• Bereavement and loss
• Trauma and attachment difficulties
• Self-harm and suicidal thoughts
• The impact of fostering or care experiences
• Neurodivergence including ADHD and ASD

The focus is always on building trust, helping children feel understood, and developing healthy ways to express and manage emotions.

✨ Limited availability currently.
If you would like to discuss support for a child, please feel free to get in touch for an informal conversation.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💙

It’s a time to learn, reflect, and celebrate neurodiversity. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is not a single, fixed experience, it’s a wide spectrum that affects how people communicate, interact, and experience the world. Every autistic person is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and perspectives.

Awareness is important, but acceptance matters even more. That means listening to autistic voices, creating inclusive spaces, and moving beyond stereotypes. Small actions like being patient, respecting different communication styles, or advocating for accessibility can make a real difference.

Let’s take today as a reminder to lead with kindness, understanding, and respect not just today, but every day.

So many young people are carrying more than we realise.

Behind the quiet child, the disruptive behaviour, the withdrawn teenager or the anxious student who can’t walk into class alone, there is often grief, trauma, separation anxiety, ADHD, autism, or overwhelming anxiety. These experiences don’t just “pass with time.” They shape how a young person sees themselves, others, and the world around them.

I feel deeply called to support young people navigating these challenges — gently, respectfully, and at their pace.

I want to offer 1:1 personalised interventions within schools and education settings, creating safe spaces where children and young people can feel heard without pressure, judgement, or expectation to “perform.” Support that meets them where they are, rather than asking them to fit into a rigid system.

Every young person is different. That’s why a personalised approach matters. Some may benefit from creative expression, others from practical emotional regulation strategies, structured routines, movement-based techniques, or simply consistent, trusted connection. By using a range of methods in a low-pressure, relationship-led way, we can help build resilience, confidence, and emotional safety.

This is especially important for those experiencing:
• Grief and loss
• Trauma and adverse experiences
• Separation anxiety
• ADHD and attention differences
• Autism and sensory sensitivities
• Generalised anxiety and school-related stress

Support should never feel clinical, intimidating, or out of reach. I believe it should feel calm, compassionate, and accessible — which is why offering affordable services within educational settings is so important to me. Early, gentle intervention can prevent long-term struggles and help young people feel understood rather than labelled.

Every child deserves someone who sees beyond behaviour and recognises the story underneath.

If we can provide consistent, low-pressure, individualised support within schools, we can help young people not just cope — but truly feel safe enough to grow.

Today was a sand play therapy kind of day!

Who knew a tray of sand could hold so many big feelings? 🏖️✨

Sand play therapy gives children a safe, creative space to explore their world one scoop, sprinkle, and tiny figurine at a time. From building magical kingdoms to burying worries in the sand, it’s all about expressing what’s hard to say out loud.

It might look like play (because it is!), but it’s also powerful support for emotional wellbeing and mental health 💛

So next time you see a child lost in their sandy universe, just know… important work is happening beneath the surface 🌱

7 days to go and another 30 miles needed, I need some encouragement (and more sunshine ) to get this completed.

I am blown away with the donations and support so far but if you’ve not had chance yet the link is below.

Thank you so much ❤️💙❤️💙❤️Mind
