Every day, the news reminds me just how much children’s wellbeing matters. Behind every headline are real little lives, children trying to make sense of their world, families doing their very best and emotions that can feel far too big for small shoulders. These are the conversations that stay with me because when a child is struggling, it touches everyone around them.

This is why I offer gentle, relational approaches like Drawing & Talking and sand tray work. These child-led sessions create a calm, safe space where children can express what’s happening inside, often long before they have the words. Through simple, creative processes, they can release worries, explore feelings and strengthen their emotional world in ways that feel nurturing rather than overwhelming.

My work helps bridge the gap while families wait for longer-term services. Children shouldn’t have to sit in silence until support becomes available. With the right space and the right approach, they can begin their healing journey now.

As we reach the end of this year and look toward the new one, it can be a meaningful time to think about the emotional support your child may need moving forward. If you’d like to start the new year with a plan in place, I’m here to help. You can reach out to me or explore more about my sessions by contacting me via my link.

Day 7 of Advent
Second Sunday of Advent

Today I light the second candle on my wreath, the candle of Peace.
As its light flickers around my room, I’m reminded to slow down, take some deep breaths and welcome calm into my own heart.

This season brings many different feelings and wherever I find myself today, I choose to invite peace in.
I pray for peace in my home…
in the way I speak, the way I listen and the moments of care I share with those I love.
I pray for peace in my community…
in the connections I make, the kindness I offer and the compassion I show to those around me.

Peace doesn’t have to be big or perfect, it can be a quiet cup of coffee, a cosy blanket, a gentle word or giving myself permission to rest.
As I move through this Advent season, I carry this light of peace with me, hoping it reaches my family, my neighbours and everyone who needs a little calm today. 🤍

Wishing you all a peaceful and comforting Sunday.

Advent time. Day 6
This time of year can feel like beautiful chaos, sparkle, noise, excitement, late nights, extra events and routines all over the place.
And while I’m trying to catch my breath, I’m realising something important… the children around me feel it too.

They soak up the energy, the pace, the pressure, the tiredness, even when they can’t name it.

So today’s Advent reminder is simple:

• Children need a rest just as much as adults.
• They need some calm moments to reset.
• They need space to melt a little, without it meaning anything is wrong.
• They need us to slow their world down when it all gets too loud.

And honestly… so do I.

Here’s to giving everyone, big and small, a big thumbs up to pause amidst the Christmas chaos. 🎄

Festive Calming Visualisations for Children

If your child enjoys relaxing, imaginative moments, I’ve created three gentle festive visualisations scripts for you to use at home this December. Each one is designed to support calm, confidence and emotional wellbeing during what can be an exciting and sometimes overwhelming time of year.

The Lantern is a soft, grounding journey to help children find their inner calm.
The Cabin is a cosy winter retreat, perfect for comfort and emotional regulation.
Sensory-Friendly Christmas is a gentle, simplified festive experience written especially for children who prefer quieter seasonal moments.

If you’d like any or all of these, just send me an email message and I’ll email them over to you.

Wishing you and your little ones a peaceful, magical December.🎄

Advent Day 5

Small moments of connection matter more than big plans.
A cuddle, a shared smile, sitting together… these are the memories that last longer than any event. 🧡

If You’ve Tried Everything… But Nothing Has Worked. Behaviour isn’t the problem.
It’s the message.
When a child struggles emotionally, it often shows up as:
Meltdowns
Anger
Anxiety
Tears at bedtime
Troubling Friendships
School refusal
“don’t know what’s wrong.”

Parents try everything, rewards,
consequences, calm voices, firm voices, reassurance…but nothing changes because the root is deeper.
And that’s exactly what therapeutic support with me helps.

In my sessions, children can gently process whatever is going on beneath the behaviour, in a way that feels safe, calm and child-led.

This is where you will see the breakthroughs with them.

If this sounds like your home right now, reach out.
Let’s get your child the emotional support they deserve and prevent bigger struggles later.
Please use my link to get in touch with me and send a message. 🧡

You’re allowed to rest. Even in December.

I’m not sure what the question was,
but I’m fairly certain a big cosy hug + a sprinkle of calm + five minutes of peace
is the answer. 🧡

Day 3 of Advent

Your calm is a gift, not just to your children, but to yourself.
When you choose calm, you’re nurturing your own nervous system as much as your child’s. Those moments of calm can make a big difference. ✨
