Workshops for Schools
Workshops for Children and Staff
As someone who is a qualified primary school teacher and has experience working in mainstream and SEND schools, I have the advantage of offering a blend of expertise from my teaching background and a diverse range of therapeutic techniques. These include hypnotherapy, CBT, tapping, mindfulness, and meditation, allowing me to provide a holistic approach to supporting schools and children.
Teachers
Teachers, educations and support staff, shoulder a remarkable responsibility. They not only impart knowledge but also shape students' social and emotional development. Balancing curriculum delivery with addressing diverse emotional needs, often resembling a microcosm of society within the classroom, can be challenging. Additionally, educators must adapt to evolving educational landscapes, manage administrative demands, and meet expectations from various policyholders. These pressures can lead to high levels of stress and burnout, highlighting the importance of providing educators with necessary support and resources for their well-being.
Children
Children, in their formative years, are often navigating a complex landscape of emotions, both within the school and in their home lives. However, young minds are not always equipped with the tools to effectively manage or express feelings such as, fear, anxiety, or stress. When confronted with such overwhelming feelings, these emotions can manifest in ways that adults may perceive as challenging behaviour; every behaviour is a form of communication. It is essential to equip children with the necessary skills and techniques to navigate these emotions, empowering them to express themselves in healthier ways and fostering their emotional well-being.
I am currently offering the follow options for schools:
Workshops for children aged 4-16: These workshops empower children to develop emotional awareness, boost self-esteem, and effectively manage stress and anxiety through the use of mindfulness and psycho-sensory techniques. They will also gain practical tips and techniques that they can use in their daily lives.
Study Calm Workshops: The Study Calm system supports young people with revision, learning and exams. It gives them valuable tools and techniques to use in times of stress due to school work or exams.
Full/half day inset training: This will include training in using psycho-sensory techniques, mindfulness and therapeutic parenting in the classroom to promote a positive overall well-being, a calm learning environment, a reduction in bullying and happy children. This can also include time for staff well-being with tips and techniques to reduce anxiety and stress.
Staff meeting training: These shorter workshops are designed to give staff a quick but effective overview of how they can manage their stress and anxiety.
Every school has different requirements and needs, this means all school based services are tailored to you. I hold an Enhances DBS.
