This week I've come to an end of our wellbeing sessions with one of the children I work with. We did a new activity to boost her confidence this week which tied in with some of the other work we'd done and had some interesting conversations. However, even I was surprised when we did a recap of all the different activities and techniques we'd done. There were so many things we covered in only 8 sessions!

If you're interested in how I can work with you and your child in September, contact me today. 😍

Am interested to hear your opinion on the idea of shortening the summer holidays which is being discussed in the news today.

What do you think? Good idea or bad - and why?

In the past few weeks I've been working with 2 different children who are both having varying issues at night-time.

One of the methods that we've been experimenting with is to reframe a situation and consider what is the worst, best and most realistic version of an event. We then create a dialogue around what we want to swap our thoughts for and represent this through a drawing and storytelling so this can be thought of before going to sleep.

My sessions are centered around being creative with any given situation, and most importantly, tailoring it to each child so they really connect with.

I love getting the feedback after they've created their new version of events and tried it out and then hearing how things have improved for them.

If your child needs support with their sleep routines, bad dreams or anything else, please get in touch to find out how you can work with me. 😊

I had a lovely morning today at The Autism & Learning Disability Key Working Service.

There are so many people out there who need support and don't know where to turn or how to find each other.

I'm pleased to know of some fantastic organisations in Notts and today signposted a parent to the wonderful charity Footprints Conductive Education Centre and to Aqua Bliss Swim.

Comment below with an organisation that you'd recommend for parents to check out who have helped you. 😊
