Some sessions aren’t always analysing behaviours, or feelings, or triggers, or even coming up with a list of who can help.

Sometimes, particularly at the end of the term, or even week, when our energy is low and it’s a struggle to concentrate…..we just create.

And what a creation this was!

What a shame you are unable to smell this beautiful perfume oil, blended with 3 individual essential oils.

Cherry 🍒
Bergamot 🍋
Lime 🍋‍🟩

All 28 individual essential oils were assessed and either chosen or eliminated, so we had a yes, a maybe and a no pile. Then she went through the same process, checking each smell and then deciding what went well together, until she came up with the final 3.

This is a unique blend that has been decanted into a rollerball container, which was then personalised, and to be used whenever she feels anxious, sad or angry.

Isn’t it amazing the affect that scent can have on us? Satisfying our senses through the olfactory system and regulating any internal feelings!

(Disclaimer - I am a fully qualified aromatherapist and had permission from mum to use the oils, there were no allergies or health issues that would cause a contraindication to use.) I also had full permission to publish this beautiful creation.

Here I am receiving my Special Achievement award which was presented to me at the Dandelion Training and Development 2026 conference last weekend by the amazing Nicky.

It was an honour and an unexpected surprise to receive this and I'm very grateful for all the support I have received so far.

Onwards and upwards!!!

2026 Special Achievement Award

Our 2026 Dandelion Special Achievement Award was awarded to Zoe from our April 2023 Crawley group.

Zoe has consistently shown up with passion and enthusiasm, but what stood out was her commitment to ethical practice when working with children and families. Her professionalism when working within scope of practice, making appropriate referrals and accessing regular supervision to ensure she i offers a high quality coaching service to her clients has shone through and I’m so proud to have her in our Dandelion community

Well done Zoe, so well deserved 💚

Not all children can tell us when they need help, this is when we notice some behaviour.

But why?

Children's brains are different to adults brains as they are not fully formed until around the age of 25 years old. Up until then we can see a lot of dysregulated behaviour when they don't feel happy or safe.

Feeling safe is key when we are looking into what we can do to support our kids.

Let’s explore… what do we need to look at?

Where can we make change?

What would happen if we don’t make any change?

What would that feel like?

How does that land?

What, where, who, when and how are our foundation questions to build from ✨

Let’s get it all out and see where we want to start!!

What a pleasure it was to spend the day at the Dandelion Training and Development 2026 Conference today. It was so inspiring, emotional and fascinating to listen to all the speakers today, I will be exploring my new wisdom in my sessions wherever I need to.

Not only that, I got to spend the day with my Dandelion Family AND I was awarded (very unexpectedly) with a special recognition award, which completely took me by surprise! So thank you Nicky Edwards for my award, it means the absolute world to me 😘 and to have your continued support ❤️ I am very proud to be part of the dandelion army you have created!

I met these incredible women 3 years ago as we all embarked on our training together as mental health coaches.

Fast forward those three years, collectively we have found our own way and vocations in life, navigated our ups and downs but throughout it all, we have all continuously supported and raised each other along the way. Excited to be spending the day together tomorrow at the Dandelion Training and Development Conference tomorrow for more learning and sharing.

Thank you Katie for our thoughtful gifts tonight 😘😍💜

New review just in.......!

"We are incredibly grateful for the support and guidance our son received from Zoe. When he first started 1-1 sessions he was really struggling with his self-worth and confidence, but through her kindness, patience and understanding, Zoe helped him see himself in a much more positive way. Thanks to her support he has grown so much and is now in a place where he feels able to stop the sessions. We truly appreciate everything she has done for him and would highly recommend her".

This is from a mum of a 15 year old boy. It was such a pleasure to watch his self confidence grow with each session. He's now looking forward to the next stage of his learning and starting college this year!

Thank you for having faith in me and for leaving such a lovely review of your experience with 1:1 Coaching.

Exploring feelings!

It’s where we take a deeper look at what our feelings ‘feel’ like and what coping skills and strategies we’ve got to help.

Looking forward to coming up with a plan this morning!

Then round the session off with a game of UNO! (Where I get to lose…..again 😂).

Have a great day!
