Children (30–45 minutes)
Some children concentrate better in shorter sessions. That’s normal — and it’s often more effective.
In sessions we might:
Name emotions safely (often using the Amazing Bears)
Notice what feelings feel like in the body
Practise simple mindfulness tools to steady big emotions
Build a small ‘toolkit’ for home and school
Use the workbook Mindfulness & Emotions for 6–12 year olds as a gentle structure
Investment: 30 minutes - £50 | 45 minutes - £75
Parents (60 minutes)
Parent sessions are a place for you to be heard — without judgement.
Many parents come feeling exhausted, unsure, and isolated. The aim is to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more resourced.
Investment: 60 minutes - £100
Examples of things covered in the sessions
Mindfulness what it is and how it can help in life.
Emotional resilience why we might feel certain ways and how to manage the big feelings.
What happens in the brain and body when we feel different ways and how mindfulness can help.
Resilience, growth mindset and self-esteem how to bounce back from challenges.
Happiness, gratitude and kindness what truly makes us happy?
Friendship issues navigating difficulties within friendships.

Funded Courses and Parent Groups
Parenting can be incredibly lonely — especially when your child is anxious, struggling, or differently wired.
Groups can be a quiet turning point because they reduce isolation. Parents often realise: “It’s not just us.”
These groups are held with warmth and deep care — creating a space where parents can be honest, feel supported, and learn practical tools that improve family life.
What you can expect?
A small group (so it feels safe)
A calm, well-held structure
Practical tools you can actually use
Gentle reflection without judgement
Parents supporting each other - and feeling less alone
Who groups are for?
Parents feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or at a loss
Parents of anxious children
Parents who want a calmer way to respond to big emotions
Parents who want support that is kind, practical, and steady

What is mindfulness?
“Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally”
Jon Kabat-Zinn
“Mindfulness is learning to direct our attention to our experience as it unfolds, moment by moment, with open minded curiosity, kindness and acceptance. Rather than worrying about what has happened, or what might happen next, it trains us to respond skilfully to whatever is happening right now, be that good or bad.”
Mindfulness in Schools Project
“Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.”
Alice Morse Earle
What are the benefits of mindfulness?
Mindfulness has been shown to improve our health and wellbeing on many levels. As well as increasing our creativity, it can also reduce everyday stresses, improve relationships, help with exam nerves and remind us to notice the better moments in our lives.
Mindfulness can improve our health and well-being
An important part of mindfulness is reconnecting with our bodies and the sensations we experience. In achieving this, we can identify when we need to pause, or change what we are doing to help ourselves.
Learning made easier
Mindfulness trains our mind to focus our attention away from the distractions of our surroundings, positively affecting how we learn.
Thinking clearly
As distractions fail to distract, we become more aware of our own thoughts and the path they take.
Improving performance
Naturally, as our thoughts become clearer, our ability to complete tasks improves and we gain confidence in our abilities.
Feel calmer
Now we can dismiss those distractions, and are aware of the direction our thoughts are taking, we have more control over our actions and emotions.
Getting a handle on anxiety and depression
Anxiety and often depression are typically caused by repetitive negative thoughts. In acknowledging the presence of those thoughts, and learning to accept them without judgement through mindfulness, our anxiety is challenged.
Be happier
Mindfulness encourages us to think in the present and to take each day moment by moment. When we are able to dismiss those concerns about what happens next and worries about how well or badly we did in the past, we have more headspace to really consider the present moment.
