Accessible to everyone.
All my workshops are suitable for students, teachers, pastoral teams, and parents. Small groups encourage participation, peer support and cross-learning. Larger audiences tend to prefer workshops where they can listen, try out exercises, and ask questions later.
Whatever your requirement, I can help you. I take time to understand your desired learning outcome before tailoring the workshop to your needs. I also evaluate each workshop, which means you’ll be able to assess the impact in the short and longer term.
I’m experienced at running small groups and workshops at my private practice in Wilmslow and at schools and colleges in the North West.

How I can help you to help yourself…
For students: Bringing information, coping skills and strategies, and exercises that work to your school and college. This means students are accessing the latest information for healthy minds and self-care. Your school has the opportunity to enhance and promote self-esteem for all students. For more information read more here . I also run workshops at my practice in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Please get in touch for more information.
For parents: Support for parents is invaluable as they gain an insight and awareness into issues their children face day-to-day. Learn how best to support you, your child and your family. If you’re interested in talking to me about a workshop or would prefer to see me 1:1 to understand what’s going on for your child, please get in touch.
Schools, Colleges and Teachers: There is much being written about the benefits of school based counselling and psycho-educational workshops.

Here are the most popular workshops I offer:
Exam Stress: Why am I so stressed? How can I get back in control? Understand how the pressure of exam stress can affect you physically, emotionally and mindfully. Get back in charge of you, I’ll show you how. For parents and teachers, learn how you can better support students as they go through this naturally stressful time.
Mindfulness – promoting wellbeing from the inside out : This workshop is easily adapted for students and teachers who will learn quick 5-min mindfulness techniques that work. Mindfulness is well known for reducing stress and anxiety. It is easy to learn, you can do it anywhere and best of all…it’s free!
Cultivating confidence – boost your self esteem : aimed at students to support them in learning what ‘normal’ feels like. Students learn how feelings are experienced in the body, what the signals are telling them, and learn why they react the way they do. This workshop encourages grounding and helps young people to feel more confident about the choices they are making.
