“Most children don’t need long-term therapy."

Most children don’t need weeks or even months of talking things over. Sometimes, children are unable to talk about how they feel as they don't understand how they are feeling. They need to feel heard, understood & shown simple ways forward.

When a child finally feels safe enough to express what’s going on inside, change can happen surprisingly quickly.

This doesn't necessarily have to be by talking about it. They can explain in different ways.

That’s why my work is focused, gentle & evidence-based, helping children feel better without overwhelm.

Because small shifts can make big differences.

If you’re wondering whether your child needs support, let’s arrange a chat.

Did you know it takes around 21 days to form a new habit or behaviour?

Real, lasting change doesn’t happen in a single moment. It happens through repetition, consistency & reinforcement.

That’s exactly why I don’t work with one-off sessions. Instead, I use pathways

Pathways allow the brain to create new neural connections, strengthen healthier thought patterns & gently let go of old, unhelpful behaviours.

Each session builds on the last, giving the mind time to practice, settle & truly integrate change. Whether that’s confidence, calm, emotional regulation or healthier responses.

Quick fixes fade, whereas Pathways create change that lasts.

If you’re ready to support yourself (or your child) properly, over time, with care & intention, pathways are where the magic really happens.

Message me to find out more about my structured pathways.

901 DAYS SOBER

Just over 900 days ago, a lovely client walked into my therapy room feeling ready for change & asking for support to stop drinking.

Today, they are 901 days sober.

That’s 901 days of courage.
901 days of choosing themselves.
901 days of growth, resilience & quiet determination.

I am so incredibly proud of you. You know who you are. This journey wasn’t about willpower alone. It’s about understanding what sat underneath the habit, building belief & creating real, lasting change from the inside out.

Stories like this are a powerful reminder that change is always possible, no matter how long something has felt stuck.

If you’re reading this & wondering if things can be different for you, they can.

So very proud. So humble to be a part of this.
So grateful to witness your transformation.

I’ve been working with children & their families for over 25 years.

Before I opened my business as a Child Therapist, I worked in a Paediatric Targeted Integrated Therapy Team, consisting of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy & Speech & Language Therapy. This gave me skills & knowledge I use today in my practice.

I recommend therapeutic pathways as children feel safest when they know what to expect.

For this reason, I usually recommend a short therapeutic pathway rather than one-off sessions. This allows trust to build naturally, skills to be layered gradually & changes to embed more effectively.

Many children make noticeable progress in fewer sessions than parents expect.

I also offer a free initial consultation. I feel it’s important for children to get to know me & become familiar with my therapy room as well as building rapport & trust.

One vital component of the therapy I offer is that children do not see a different person. They see me all the way through their sessions, building our relationship.

Is your child struggling emotionally or behaviourally? Fears? Phobias?

Are they currently on a waiting list & you’re not sure what to do in the meantime?

You don’t have to sit & wait feeling helpless.

I offer a FREE initial consultation where we can talk about what’s going on for your child & what support might help right now.

Every child is different, which is why I offer a range of gentle, effective approaches, always tailored to meet your child’s individual needs, no one-size-fits-all.

If you’re worried, message me today to book your free consultation on 07464099447.

Sometimes, that first conversation can make all the difference.

“I don’t know what’s wrong, I just feel funny.”

That’s how anxiety often shows up in children.
Not as words, but as behaviour, tears, silence or even big reactions to small things.

Children feel deeply, but they don’t always understand why.

So when emotions build up, their bodies & minds try to release them in the only way they can.

When we help children recognise & manage their feelings, we’re giving them skills for life, not just for today.

They build emotional awareness, learn to be calm & confident, promoting a sense of safety and control.

Support doesn’t mean something is “wrong”.
It means you’re helping your child grow.

Message me if you’d like to know how I support children with emotions & anxiety.

It’s another very special day today!

I’m heading into a local school to read my book to the children & I honestly couldn’t be more excited.

Sharing stories that help children understand their emotions, feelings & inner world is why my book, Nomie’s Big Book of Feelings, was created in the first place. To have an opportunity to read it aloud feels incredibly meaningful.

Stories open conversations. Conversations build understanding. Understanding helps children feel safe, seen & supported.

If you’re a school or a teacher who would love a visit, a reading session or to learn more about how stories can support children’s emotional wellbeing, feel free to get in touch.

Blue Monday is the name given to what’s often called the most depressing day of the year. It usually falls on the third Monday in January.

The idea comes from a mix of things many people experience around this time. Dark, cold winter days, less daylight, post-Christmas fatigue & financial pressures.
Broken New Year’s resolutions don’t help. Fir the majority of us it’s a long stretch before the next holiday. We could also feel tired, low or unmotivated

It’s important to know that Blue Monday isn’t a medical diagnosis. Not at all. It’s more a concept that highlights how seasonal, emotional & lifestyle factors can affect our mood.

For many, it’s simply a reminder to check in with yourself, be a little kinder to your mental health & reach out for support if you need it

Feeling low doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, it just means you’re human.

Looking forward to a weekend of training.
I’ll be delivering my Diploma in Working with Children & I honestly never take this work for granted.
Spending time with passionate practitioners who want to better understand children, support their emotional wellbeing & make a real difference in young lives is always such a privilege.
Early intervention matters.
Safe, compassionate approaches matter.
And the ripple effect this work has on children & families is powerful
Feeling grateful, excited & ready for a meaningful weekend ahead.

Not all superheroes wear capes. That’s what I was told by a mum yesterday.

I was reminded why I do the work I do.

A little while ago, I met a young lady who was feeling very low in mood & completely out of sorts. Her simple but powerful goals were to smile again & to be able to switch off & sleep.

Three sessions later & in her own words, she’s now “feeling amazing.”

Then her mum messaged me to say “You have given us our daughter back. You are a superhero. Some don’t wear capes, but you certainly should!”

I’ll take that. Thank you & bless you.

Supporting children & young people to reconnect with themselves, feel calmer, brighter & more like them again is a privilege I never take for granted. Helping their families to also feel supported is part & parcel of what I do.

If your child is struggling & you’re wondering where to turn, please know that help is available. Hope & change are possible.

Sometimes being a superhero just means caring enough to help someone find their smile again.
If only I really did look like this photo 🤣🤣

Yesterday was one of those heart-filling days. You know, when you feel you could press repeat, over & over again.
I was absolutely thrilled to visit a primary school to read my book Nomie’s Big Book of Feelings to some wonderful children.
I began by chatting with the school’s brilliant Reading Ambassadors, then spent time with a small group of chosen pupils reading the story together & talking about feelings, emotions & why they all matter.
And of course, Nomie came along, meeting the children & joining in the conversations.
I also donated three copies of the book to the school library, so even more children can continue exploring their feelings through Nomie.
I loved every single minute, the questions, the smiles, the honesty & the curiosity were just magical.
Hopefully this will be the first of many visits, and I’ll be heading back again in the future
Helping children understand their emotions is always a privilege I will keep enjoying.
Hoping I'll get some photos from the school soon. Just waiting for parents to give consent.

It’s Hump Day 💛 For many adults, it’s a sign the weekend is getting closer. For children, it could mean a totally different story.

By Wednesday, many children are emotionally & physically tired.

You might notice:
• More meltdowns
• Less patience
• Poor concentration
• Extra clinginess

This is midweek overload.

Children hold a lot together during the school week & by Wednesday their emotional cup can be full.

What helps?
Less pressure on children. Calm evenings. Extra reassurance.

How’s your hump day going?
