There maybe a few wobbles and worry in anticipation of beginning school tomorrow….

If you’re unsure how to help your child with their anxiety or worries, keep reading.

Validation is EVERYTHING.

DONT TELL THEM THEY WILL BE FINE, OR IT WILL BE OK, OR TO STOP WORRYING OR STOP BEING SILLY.

Anxiety lives in the brain and the body, so telling an anxious brain they will be fine actually sends a message if there’s a threat and increases tension in an already tense central nervous system. (Under 25’s generally don’t have the reasoning part of their brain fully formed, so some children won’t be able to reason with these statements).

DO SAY…. IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE TO ME THAT YOUR TUMMY FEELS TIGHT/STRANGE/SICK. Then do something with movement and say LETS TRY AND GET RID OF THAT FEELING IN YOUR BODY.

You can try…
Deep breathing TOGETHER
Have a cold drink
Jump, dance, go outside and throw a snowball!
Distract that mind with something creative or do all of them!

Allow that brain to feel SAFE, because behaviour is a reaction to a feeling and if we can manage the feeling by validation, it will then help the body to relax.

If you think 1:1 mental health coaching can help your child, please get in touch.

Let me know how you get on.

A quick update from Coaching Young Minds HQ!

I just wanted to announce that there will be a few little changes on the horizon....

As some of you will know, from Monday 2nd February all coaching and reiki sessions will be held at my new location which is based at The Limes in the town centre of St Neots.

My coaching days will also change slightly and will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

There will however be a small price increase to all coaching sessions, kids and adult reiki sessions booked in February, which will all be outlined in your contract.

However up until the end of January, all sessions will remain at the existing prices and will be based at my Eaton Ford address as usual, so no change for those of you who have already got sessions booked.

However, to celebrate being at my new location, I will be offering a special discount code for you to enter on to the booking link when you book your sessions from February.

I can't wait to see you all and I for one am certainly looking forward to getting back into a routine!

See you all soon.

Best wishes
Zoe

I have now finished for Christmas!!!!

I will be re-open from Tuesday 6th January 2026.

A very BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has been part of an incredible couple of years coaching, particularly this year though.

Thank you for each email, phone call, referral and coaching sessions booked, it has meant the absolute world to me.

I have met some amazing families during this time, not to mention (and more importantly), spent time with some incredible young people where we have shared a lot of positivity, frustration, tears, laughter, a-ha moments, creativity, honesty, integrity, confidence and resilience and so so much more!

Watch this space for 2026, I think its going to be quite a ride!

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas!

Lots of love from Zoe and Milo.

ANGER 😡

Does your child or teen struggle with their anger?

To help release that anger, ripping up paper/cardboard can help to regulate them safely.

If anyone would like this pile of cardboard before it goes in the recycling bin on Monday, it’s all yours.

Today I visited my new room based at The Limes in St Neots.

Here is a sneaky peak of where I will be working from February next year!

Thought you might like to see where all the magic will happen ✨ …!

A positivity mask. All these stickers were carefully selected to represent herself. It’s a reminder of all the positive traits she has and also positive affirmations for when she realises she is masking her true feelings.

A brilliant mental health tool to have.

Well done 👍🏻

The biggest ‘glimmer’ of my day has got to be when I was given this, along with a yummy home made gingerbread man, how lucky am I?

When school feels tricky…..we looked at the feeling it gives us, the reason we get the feeling, and what we can do about managing that feeling…..take a look 👀
