Happy, Healthy Mums. Happy, Healthy Children

• Do you feel exhausted with all that is expected of teachers today?
• Do you give 100% and more to your job, but leave little time for yourself?
• Do you have difficulty saying NO?
• Do you want more out of life?

Apples is a programme designed for those overworked teachers to help them gain a better understanding of a much more improved work/life balance.  Through self-care and recognition of where in your life and you realise there is a need for change, I will teach you the skills and strategies to take up the banner for yourself. Group therapy offers an opportunity of sharing of knowledge and understanding as you learn new skills. I will guide you in creating stronger boundaries, show you how to let go of feelings of anger or frustration, help you recognise the importance of being present in order to embrace your teaching with more enthusiasm.   Offered to small groups of teachers or run as part of teacher Professional Development Wellbeing.

Equip your child with the skills to be more confident and resilient as they make new friendships both at school and beyond.  BEARS is a programme run as a group therapy session, which enables children to be better able to recognise and deal with their feelings as they participate in their world. 

Suited to children 4 years and over. The parent or caregiver is encouraged to join your child as they participate in 5 sessions to complete the programme.

Using Artistic Therapies to support children to understand and deal with their emotions, these sessions allow sharing of concerns as well as learning new ways of dealing with issues such as anger, grief, fear, feeling connected, feeling confident and developing resilience.

They will have fun as they develop life-long skills.
