Our Story

The Challenges

Sometimes as a parent you just know that there's something holding your child back, and that you could really help if only you knew what to do. Whether the difficulties are behavioural or emotional, they can have a huge impact on your child's well being.

At A Confident Start we understand because we've been there too. We combine professional Clinical Psychology with your family's insight to support your child. Together, we will find solutions that really work.

What we do

We are all about everyone’s well being - their emotional health and happiness. Young people have a lot of new things to learn and handle. Everyone needs help with that sometimes. We have free guides and ideas to help with the emotional challenges of growing up. And when your kids need a bit more, we have group workshops or individual therapy. Clinical Psychology is about finding a way to become ‘unstuck’ and to problem-solve. Its a very active process of using some proven techniques to make things better.

How we began

For most parents, the words "Your child has been talking in class" would be a negative - but not for me. I vividly remember going to my first ever parents evening at school. We'd had three week's worth of nice notes in the home link book like "Good day today". So I was expecting something very positive from the teacher... But it turned out that my daughter Frankie, was not speaking at all. The teacher thought she had no speech! I admit this wasn't completely out of the blue, my Frankie was what self-help books call 'slow to warm up' and Granny would call 'shy'. But this was clearly a problem we had to fix right now.

So in panic I went to Dr Helen for professional psychology advice and we made our first 'Fearless Fairy' book to demonstrate the things our Frankie needed to do at school. She was a trouper and worked so hard at the techniques. I am thrilled to say that she is now often found 'talking in class'. It is something I never take for granted.

We knew that we shouldn't keep this to ourselves because there were many other Frankies out there who would benefit from a little bit of help with the huge challenges of childhood.
