THE FAMILY MINDED PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Taking Children's Psychology Beyond the Clinic 

When everyone around a child is supported, the whole family flourishes.

One belief. Four Pathways.

Everything here is rooted in one conviction: when everyone around a child feels supported, the whole family flourishes. Wherever you sit in that picture — this is where you begin..

The Family Minded Practice

Clinical support for children, parents, and families. Therapy and family coaching rooted in the belief that what a parent carries, a child feels too.

The Children's Psychology Hub

Clinician-designed resources and workshops that travel from the clinic to the kitchen table — practical, affordable, and built to actually be used.

Training

Bitesized wellbeing workshops for parents and carers. Village Essentials and the Mentor Series for professionals in the community

For Organisations

Consultancy, accreditation, and systemic change for organisations ready to commit to being genuinely safe and welcoming for every family.

THE FAMILY MINDED PRACTICE

Clinical support for every member of the family

Sometimes a resource or a workshop isn't enough. Sometimes what a family needs is a safe space, a skilled ear, and someone who holds the whole picture in mind.

Everything I offer is rooted in the same belief that runs through the whole of this site: what a parent carries, a child feels. And when a parent is supported, everything shifts.

01

FOR PARENTS & CAREGIVERS

Talking Therapy for Parents & Caregivers

Therapy in your own right — not as an appendage to your child's story, but as a person carrying their own weight. You deserve support too.

02

FOR CHILDREN & TEENS

Talking Therapy for Children & Young People

A safe, consistent space for your child — child-led, creative where needed, and always attentive to the whole child, not just the presenting problem.

03

FOR FAMILIES

Family Coaching & Support

When a challenge affects the whole family together — structured, collaborative, and built around a shared toolkit you take away with you.

From the Clinic to the Kitchen Table and Classroom...

LOW-COST, CLINICAN DESIGNED

The Resource Hub

A library of psychoeducational resources for parents, carers, and professionals — equipping parents with the psychological understanding to support their child at home, and giving professionals tools that bridge the work of the session with the family's everyday life.

THE THREE TRAINING ROUTES

Relatable, digestible, and jargon-free knowledge to equip the whole village.

01

FOR PARENTS & PROFESSIONALS

Bitesized Wellbeing Series

A growing library of self -directed online workshops on specific topics such as: Anxiety & School Avoidance, Managing Meltdowns, and Supporting Bereavement. Accessible for both parents and non-clinical professionals.

Whether you're a parent navigating big emotions or a coach building a team, these training routes give you the clinical toolkit to support mental wellbeing with confidence.

02

FOR THE COMMUNITY

Village Essentials
Our foundation neuro-inclusion training. Perfect for high-street teams—from barbers to funeral directors—focusing on the "Dignity Response" and sensory safety.

03

FOR ACTIVITY PROVIDERS & COACHES

The Mentor Series: Activity Providers

Specialist wellbeing for coaches, dance tutors, and forest school leaders. Clinical tools for managing perfectionism, performance anxiety, and building child self-esteem.

Inclusion doesn't happen in a clinic. It happens on the high street...

BUILDING WELLBEING INTO YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE

Accessibility and Inclusion begin with Psychological Safety.

True inclusion isn’t a checklist; it’s an intentional design. I work with leadership teams to move beyond "reactive" support and toward proactive wellbeing initiatives. By auditing your physical environment, refining your internal policies, and mapping the visitor journey through a clinical lens, we create spaces where every child feels safe to flourish and every family feels welcomed.

01

Wellbeing Initiative Design

We don't just add a "quiet hour." I help you design long-term initiatives—like mindfulness trails in farm parks or "regulation stations" in soft plays—that become a core part of your brand’s value.

02

Systems & Policy Audit

I review your current SEN and inclusion policies through a clinical lens. We move beyond "compliance" to create functional systems that support staff confidence and patient/client safety.

03

The ‘Safe to Flourish’ Accreditation

Work with me to transform your venue into a low-arousal destination. We map the visitor journey from car park to exit, identifying and removing the barriers that cause family burnout.
