I offer bespoke workshops, training and lectures for professionals and parent/carer talks on supporting children in emotional pain. We can create the workshop to fit the needs of the audience.

​

Popular workshops focus on:

• From fear to flourishing- how can we support children and young people experiencing mental health challenges?

• Hearing the unspoken- supporting children experiencing anxiety.

• Obsessions, compulsions, rituals and tics- supporting children and young people experiencing OCD and related conditions and behaviours

• Body/Brain Connections - how we can support children to tune into their bodies signals, how these relate to their emotions and how they can help.

• Unpicking the fear- The neuroscience of EBSA (Emotional Based School Avoidance), how parents and/or schools can support children through a child centred approach.

• Making sense of the storm - an evolving understanding of PANS/PANDAS and how to support children and their families.​

• How to be an empathetic friend- An interactive workshop designed for young people 12 and over.
