With over 11 years of experience teaching drama in a primary school, along with 20 years of experience in a broad range of educational settings, I understand the mental health challenges faced by children and teenagers.  Now, more than any other time, we are facing a mental health crisis and CAMHS (Children & Adolescent Mental Health Services) is struggling to cope with the demand.

Whether it’s exam stress, social anxiety, eating disorders, bullying, comparison on social media, lack of confidence/self-esteem, problems sleeping, feelings of not fitting in - mindfulness can help.‍

1-1 sessions for Children & Teenagers

Mindfulness helps children and teenagers build resilience and confidence, while equipping them with the tools to regulate their emotions and calm their nervous systems.  Sessions are designed around the particular needs of the individual, with the aim of providing the support needed to navigate their specific challenges, while building confidence and self-esteem. Mindfulness is presented in age appropriate formats, using games and activities to engage and connect to the present moment. Sessions can be face to face or online.
