Educational Consultancy

Constructive and supportive consultancy that enables leaders, practitioners and teachers to gain much needed support with children’s behaviour and emotions.

More and more early years settings and schools are in need of additional support when it comes to children’s behaviour and emotions. There is currently significant pressure on settings, families and of course the children themselves. As the challenges increase, a level of specialist knowledge can be vital.

If you are thinking of arranging consultancy and would like to discuss if it is right for you and your team, please email me to arrange a chat at no cost to your setting.

What I Offer

Supporting Early Years & Schools

  • Create a culture of well-being where emotions are not seen as a problem to be solved but as a natural part of our lives
  • Learn about the connection between behaviour and emotions - focusing on adult insight and understanding
  • Work within a connection-based approach to prioritise responsiveness, attunement and co-regulation
  • Engage children in learning about their brains and their emotions through activities, experiences and conversations
  • Focus on communication styles and learning experiences that promote strong self-worth and don’t rely on praise, rewards or punishments
  • Commit to inclusive, anti-discriminatory practice, recognising broader factors that contribute to children’s emotional well-being

1-1 Appointments

I offer 1-1 appointments to enable early years leaders and professionals to ask advice, get support with planning for individual children, or work with me on developing the setting to create a culture of emotional well-being. These shorter, trouble-shooting style appointments last for 1 hour, are held over Zoom and the fee is £50.

Emotional Well-being

Full Day Consultancy

If you would like to access more in depth support, full day consultancy is available. I will come to the setting, meet with you, carry out observations and complete an emotional well-being audit. I will then meet with you again later in the day for further discussions and to support with the creation of a development plan. For settings within 65 miles of Haslemere, Surrey, the fee for a one day consultancy session is £600 and includes an audit and written action plan. For settings further away please contact me for a fee.

My approach is non-judgemental, considered, constructive and supportive of the journey your team is on. My role is to understand and guide, helping you make a difference to the lives of your children, families and team members.

Parent Workshops and Q&A Sessions

Working with your parent community is a key part of supporting children’s well-being. Many parents would love to know more about how to help their children, but just don’t have access to the information or support.

It can be helpful to have someone external offer this to your parents, so the information is offered more impartially, leaving you free to continue conversations after the workshop. 

Please email me for more information.
