I have a particular interest in children's social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) and development. It is my belief that children need to feel secure, comfortable and understood so that they can reach their full potential. It was for this reason that I became the Pastoral, Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead at an Outstanding school in London and qualified as a Rainbows bereavement facilitator.
I don’t believe that children need to be diagnosed to qualify for some pastoral support nor does something need to be ‘wrong’ with their lives – all children benefit from nurturing sessions. I am able to help children boost their confidence and self-esteem by using my personal attributes of being nurturing, gentle, sensitive and open to understand what triggers these feelings, exploring strategies to help self-regulate and instilling a ‘Growth Mindset’. I can run sessions with your child which can explore self-esteem, confidence, self-awareness, perceptions, feelings, relationships, conflict resolution, loss, parental separation, change of family circumstances, moving house, friendship issues, grief, coping skills, adaptability, problem-solving and growth mindset. Sessions generally include something ‘crafty’, a social story or problem solving activity and some personal reflection work.
