NEW Research Opportunity! ⭐
This research is looking at children’s ability to manage their thoughts, feelings, attention, and behaviour or in other words - their regulation skills.

Regulation skills in children are important for school readiness, school success, and other positive developmental outcomes in childhood and throughout life. Your answers will help us to understand how children’s abilities to self-regulate might differ, which can help shape how we support them.

If you are a parent of a child between 5 - 16 with Williams Syndrome and can spend just 1 hour of your time completing on online questionnaire, please get in touch via email: imogen.vanjaarsveldt@bristol.ac.uk

Whilst I was training I did a lot of research around the menopause and the effect it has on women’s mental health. Whilst su***de rates are lower in women than men, what I established with the research that was available to me at the time, was that the highest levels of su***de in women in England and Wales, were of those aged 50-54.

On this International Women’s Day, please remember that you are not alone. You may feel despair but there is support out there just waiting for your call. For those around women, please take time to actually see them, to hear them, to truly listen. Could be the most powerful thing you do for them. Menopause is not something we choose to go through and like other things, it is a spectrum. We all have different symptoms, different needs, different strategies, or for some they may believe there is no access to any form of support and may feel totally alone and isolated.

Please reach out. You are not alone.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel unfamiliar, especially if you have been used to managing things on your own. Many of the men I work with have grown up believing they should stay strong, push through, and keep difficult feelings to themselves. I offer face to face therapy for men in Shore...

A really lovely review from a client. It’s a honour and a privilege to be a support on someone’s journey.

If I asked you how you’re feeling, what do you notice?……..Now if I ask you about your shoulders, are they tense, lifted towards your ears, do you notice them drop slightly when you bring your awareness to them? How’s your belly feeling? Tight, twisted, burny or is it settled? How about your tongue? Is it rested, or is it rapidly running along the back of your teeth? A few signs of an activated nervous system. Something we often sit in quite a large proportion of the day, and we do this without even being aware of it.

So how do you learn to regulate yourself. That’s something I can support you with.
