Working with you to raise an emotionally healthy generation
Tutoring, Emotion Coaching, Parental Consultancy and Training to help develop positive emotional health alongside academic success.
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, our passion is to nurture positive emotional health. We believe academic achievement and emotional wellbeing go hand in hand—and it doesn’t always have to be a struggle.
Giving children and young people the tools to understand, regulate and manage their emotions is key—and this is where we can help. After all, how can we expect children, or even adults, to excel academically if they’re struggling emotionally?
Everything we offer is built around four key strands:
Emotion Coaching
Compassionate, tailored Emotion Coaching to help children understand their feelings and behaviours, empowering them to make positive changes. After all, emotionally healthy children become emotionally healthy adults.
Tutoring
Combining Academic Tutoring and Emotion Coaching to meet each child’s unique learning needs, helping them catch up, keep up and fall in love with learning all over again.
Empowering Parents
Providing parents with practical tools and insights to confidently support their child’s emotional and educational growth at home—always with kindness and encouragement.
Training
Partnering with schools, education professionals and organisations to deliver tailored training and consultancy, sharing best practices that foster emotionally healthy, thriving environments.
Learning barriers are broken down, potential is unlocked and hope is restored
I don’t often promote books here, but when our incredible tutor Lauren came in absolutely buzzing about this one, I felt it was right to share it with you all.
Whether you agree with medicating or not, I truly believe that making any decision like this should come from being fully informed and equipped with all the facts — that’s what helps you make the choice that’s right for your child.
Here’s what Lauren shared:
“I wanted to share a book that’s really helped me on my journey as a parent of a child with autism and ADHD — ADHD Medicines for Kids by Professor Peter Hill.
Before reading it, I felt unsure and anxious about medication — there’s so much conflicting information and stigma out there. This book explained things so clearly: how ADHD medicines actually work, what options are available, and how treatment can be safely tailored to each child’s needs.
What I appreciated most is that it isn’t about pushing medication — it’s about understanding it. Professor Hill presents the science and real-life experiences in a balanced, compassionate way.
If you’re a parent trying to make sense of ADHD treatment options, I can’t recommend this book enough. Knowledge really is empowering — and this one gave me the clarity and reassurance I needed.” Lauren x
Has anyone else read this too? I’d love to know your thoughts.

Remember… every small step your child takes is progress.
Progress is progress — whether through coaching or tuition, it’s all about moving forward, even if the steps are small. It’s important to remember that progress isn’t always linear. Some days will feel harder than others, and that’s completely normal. Every little effort, every moment of learning and every bit of growth counts.
Celebrate it!

Weekly Win!
This week’s win goes to Anne and one of her students who has made incredible progress!
This student was previously so reluctant to write at all — but yesterday, she finished her project and wrote her “Yard Rules” almost entirely independently. She was so engaged she didn’t even want to stop when the session ended!
Stories like this are often repeated at Emotionally Healthy Minds — students who once struggled to enjoy learning begin to love it again and don’t want to stop. Words can’t express just how beautiful that is… x

Just a little moment that made me smile…
On Tuesday I popped into the centre and caught Jess and James playing the “hat game” with their students.
It’s not educational at all. It’s essentially balancing a piece of paper on your head while trying to walk or move around. Simple and silly, yet lots of fun.
Watching them all laugh was awesome. Jess and James have completely prioritised relationships over everything else, and it shows—these little moments of fun and connection are a natural part of our sessions at EHM.
Brain breaks, laughter and games at Emotionally Healthy Minds aren’t just fun—they’re an essential part of how we help students feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

Maths anxiety is real—and it can make children feel stuck, frustrated, or like they’ll never “get it.” At Emotionally Healthy Minds, we do things differently.
We don’t just hand out worksheets and workbooks.
Instead, we:
✨ Make learning hands-on, creative and fun
✨ Build confidence and resilience, not just skills
✨ Support students to overcome fear and enjoy maths again
✨ Use emotion coaching to help children manage big feelings around learning
Our goal?
To help your child rediscover the joy of learning, feel proud of their progress, and approach challenges with curiosity instead of fear.

I’m back after a short time off recovering — my back isn’t completely better yet, so we’ll see how we go!
Sitting on a hard upright chair is still the most painful, so I may need a little flexibility as I ease back in.
I’ve really missed being at the centre and seeing our incredible team and students again.
Thank you so much for all the kind messages and patience while I was away — it really is lovely to be back with our EHM community.

🌟 Weekly Win 🌟
This week’s win goes to Lauren for a truly heartwarming breakthrough with one of her students.
After lots of patience and gentle encouragement, her student — who usually finds separation from her mum very difficult — was able to come outside and work in the cabin independently.
Normally, Mum sits beside her for the entire session, but this time she came out willingly and even began speaking, laughing and joking with Lauren for the first time.
It’s taken a long time to reach this point, and it’s such a beautiful example of trust being built over time through consistency, patience and care.
Lauren is incredible in creating such a safe and nurturing space for her student to take this big leap forward. 💜

Weekly Win from Lis
Lis is one of our incredible community tutors and we really don’t get to see her in person as often as we’d like.
Over the past few weeks, Lis has been working with a girl who’s absolutely fascinated by a particular animal. Lis tapped into that interest and brought in Top Trumps cards featuring the animal, turning each session into playful, curiosity-led learning. Together they explored different types, compared characteristics and practised maths skills like finding the highest and lowest numbers — all through having fun together.
But this time, something amazing happened.
They started chatting about about how these animals pass on traits when they reproduce — and before long, they were diving into genetics! The girl began noticing patterns and exploring dominant and recessive genes… all sparked through playing a simple game.
Lis, you are awesome. Thank you x
