Kind words from those I've been lucky enough to work with

From young adults
In our initial session I felt slightly nervous as I wasn’t sure on what to expect but I felt immediately at ease as we started talking. As the session went on, I enjoyed the relaxing pace at which the sessions took place and felt I was able to talk and be understood.
I enjoyed the conversation side of all the sessions the way that I was able to just treat it as another conversation throughout the day and that helped me take my mind off things and to be able to reset, whilst also learning new things and ways to deal with them. Thanks to this, I was able to use all the techniques and strategies that I had been given which made me much calmer in day-to-day life.

At the beginning I was anxious, but eventually it was very easy to speak. I enjoyed understanding myself a bit better and realising that I am not strange or weird. The techniques helped me to remember things and feel like they were working.

From parents and carers
Your approach was very caring and very person centred. It focussed on practical things whilst learning new and helpful ways of doing things. I would 100% recommend you to others. The long term changes we have noticed have made a huge difference to her quality of life.

I felt you listened to my concerns as a parent and asked lots of questions to build a profile on Reagan. I felt instantly comfortable talking to you and being able to discuss the situation. I can honestly say you were empathetic and supportive and I felt instantly at ease.

From schools
Emma has worked with our pupils for many years and her emotional wellbeing sessions are a fantastic resource to be able to offer. Emma has always gone above and beyond to support pupils and parents, and takes time after sessions to give feedback to staff. Our children who have attended are overwhelmingly positive about how Emma had helped them. In the post-covid world, with increasing cases of anxiety and mental health issues amongst our primary school children, Emma’s support has been invaluable. I would recommend Emma’s sessions to any school.

Emma delivers fantastic emotional well-being sessions which the children respond amazingly well to. Pupils can then confidently discuss new strategies to help regulate their emotions and it is definitely their favourite part to the week! Emma is calm, patient and always enthusiastic! She capably adapts her sessions to meet the wide range of needs within the groups and also provides guidance and resources to support parents at home. I highly recommend Emma and genuinely feel the emotional support she provides to children (and staff) is absolutely incredible!
