💥 Training on problem solving skills for life
💥 Resilient training
💥 Conflict training between parent and teenager / child
💥 Sleep management
💥 Routines and boundaries

💥 Guest speaker in communities.

I deal with much much more, in an holistic way to serve families / young people 💥 and the communities in my care.

I am nearly about to discharge a lovely 15 year old in my care next week but, I always also support the whole family.

This young person said to me yesterday

" Sarah, I feel calmer, I feel better in myself, I use the tools and techniques you have taught me, I do not want to self- harm any more and I feel happier in myself" (which, was 🤩🎶 music to my ears yesterday). I look forward to our final session next week and to see her further reflections.

🎉 I go on a journey of discovery with adults, children and families, in trust, hope, professional care and due diligence, offering excellent care, engaging young people and families to reach their goals.

🎉 To get better outcomes school , learning, concentration, emotional regulation, support, guidance, socialisation, exams and stress.

🎉 Improved mental health with tried and tested results, time and time again

🎉 Improved healthcare , reduced pressure on NHS.

🎉 Improved home life

Do YOU or YOUR family / teenager need support at the moment?

Do YOU need 1;1 support or group support or training?

It is ok to not be ok- YOU MATTER!

👉 It is my birthday today. I did not think I would be on crutches, in daily pain after an ACL injury and pending surgical intervention soon on my birthday or at all this year!

Sometimes, life throws curve - balls you were not expecting, or out of your control. However, there are ways that which can help us in difficult times.

💥 We can learn to react differently.
💥 We can understand our body, mind, spirit, thoughts
💥 We can reframe our thoughts
💥 We can challenge negative perspectives or appraisals about ourselves, even in pain.
💥 We can observe good things in the world.
💥 We can see things from different perspectives.
💥 We can learn new skills.
💥 We can use distraction techniques
💥 We can problem solve in a different way.

👉 ❤️ 🎶 🎷 I love music. I may be not able to dance downstairs, but I can dance inside and music puts a smile on my face.

👉 There are things I can do in my 'circle of control', despite my pain, my fears and worries.

What can you do differently, in your circle of control?

Today, I had the great pleasure of teaching a young person about 'Flight and fight response to the 'body' and ' mind' as we discussed her emotions and how to start to regulate herself.

😊 Session 1- the young person is already learning! Yippee! She sent me her " Mr blob" of what happens in her mind and in her thoughts when she is anxious, after we discussed in in our session. The young person showed me her 'mind homework' and learning. Good job.

😊 Imagine what happens with her development with me in 12 or 20 weeks? Yippee, I can't wait to see her progress. I love seeing the changes to young people's well being, once they understand their anxiety and low ,mood. It makes me happy.

Jayan had a meltdown on holiday, but was able to do the 'finger breathing' you taught him and also be able to share with me his worries from the 'worry jar'.

I was super proud of him, as he took himself away for a while, was practicing the techniques you taught him. He then came back and won me at a pool game!

So proud of him 'thankyou', as Jayan is listening to your adventures ce and I can see it is working.

See you next week

👉 Sometimes in our busy lives, it is hard to capture moments of beauty, stillness so we can breathe and be with our thoughts for a while.

👉 However, mindful moments of quiet, can help us to feel calm and supports our nervous system.

👉 Mindful breathing helps us to breathe deeply from our diaphragm.

👉 Mindful moments help us to have peace. Improving our cognitive function and repair.

👉 We also get vitamin D from sunlight and see all the beautiful colours around us.

What's not to like?

This is one of my favourite moments, near to where I live. Where is your favourite mindful spot?

💤 SLEEP tips for teens and parents.....

Often, as it is the summer holidays🏝️ 🌞 routines and boundaries can go a bit awire.

👉 Sometimes, we need to have fun and enjoy ourselves throughout the summer break. FACT.

👉 However, persistent poor sleep 💤 can affect our mood. We can feel more irritable, more 'edgy', more ' fidegety' and often this means we can toss and turn at night, worry before bed or during the day, as we have not processed our emotions.

👉💡 This leads to poor work, home, school or university life as our ability to cope lessons, when we have had poor sleep.

🌞 I had a lovely therapy session today with a tween and her mum, we were discussing all things SLEEP.

Here are a few tips:

💡 Reducing caffeine before bed.

💡 Regular sleep time and morning waking time helps the Circadian rhythmn.

💡 Soft music, reading, starting the process of switching off gadgets and TV 2 hours before sleep (which is hard for tweens,teens, parents).

💡Teens need 8-10 hours of sleep per night for their well-being. More than we think!

💡Teens often have a natural tendency to stay up late due to their changing biological clocks, chatting to mates on phones, googling, tick tock etc. we need to support and monitor this.

💡Obligations like early school start times, homework, extra curricular activities, and social activities can make it hard for teens to get enough sleep.

👉Therefore, good sleep hygiene is really important.

👉 phones, phones, glorious phones!!!! limit screen time, track snap chat, put on parental controls, phones away at a certain time, away from headspace, in a drawer. It is not easy, but it , can really help improve 'teen sleep quality' and improve their overall health.

💡Indeed these tips can help adults too.......!

If it is all too much and you need some guidance, come and chat with me and find out more about me helping you and your teen/ tween with sleep.

👉 The mum today was brave.

👉 Maybe book into see me for a 1:1 in clinic, I maybe able to help?

👉 Or come and join other mums, listening to how we can help tweens and teens with their health, well being and sleep and other topics to help their mental health and well being.

👉 Speak to Sarah.

🦋 Reminding us that we are all such small creatures and there is a bigger picture perhaps?

🦋 Nature keeps me grounded.

🦋 Nature restores my soul.

🦋 I love to see different animals in their natural habitats, from cows, birds, insects and I love to look and smell flowers, observe swaying trees in the breeze and watch the ripples of water on lakes and streams.

🦋 Nature help me to stop, pause and reflect for a moment. Does it do that for you too?

🦋 Nature helps me, my patients, my friends and my family.

My Acronym for Nature is:

N- Natural
A -Awesome
T- Tranquility
U- Underestimated
R- Real
E -Evolving

👉 How would you describe nature?

👉 What would your acronym for nature be?

👉 When did you last STOP, PAUSE, REST and RENEW in nature?
