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
🌟 After-School Availability: 1 Tutoring & 2 Coaching Spaces! 🌟
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, we provide tailored English and Maths tuition alongside wellbeing and emotion coaching. Our sessions are designed for children who may struggle in mainstream settings, need an extra confidence boost, or simply thrive with a more personalised approach.
All of our tutors are qualified teachers, DBS checked daily, insured, and passionate about helping children grow both academically and emotionally. 💛

🌟 Weekly Win! 🌟
Recently, I loved seeing James working with one of his students who has a real drive for perfectionism — which was leaving her feeling anxious about failing. It’s so easy to want to throw in the towel when we make a mistake — us adults do it too! Who can relate?!?
Together, they’ve been practicing a little re-framing: when a perfectionist thought sparks fear, they pause… and have a cup of positivi-tea! ☕💛
It’s such a simple strategy, but little wins like this make a big difference in helping children manage their thoughts and build confidence. 💪

✨ Let me (re)introduce myself… ✨
Hi, I’m Sarah 👋🏻 I launched Emotionally Healthy Minds back in 2022 — can’t believe that’s now 3 years ago!
I thought it was about time I popped on here and reintroduced myself.
I’m married to my amazing husband Simon (the talent behind all our design and website work) and I’m mum to my incredible Emiliana and Caleb. Fun fact: Emiliana even works with us after school, making hot chocolates for all your wonderful children ☕
I’m a teacher of nearly 20 years and an Emotion Coach, passionate about enabling children to thrive. But honestly — if you’d known me growing up, you’d never have guessed I’d be here.
I grew up on a council estate, fell into some unhealthy behaviours, mucked around at school and only just scraped through my exams. I definitely wasn’t the one people expected to run a business or help children turn their lives around.
So what changed?
I found my passion. I started believing in myself. And that changed everything.
That’s what we’re all about at Emotionally Healthy Minds: giving children the chance to believe in themselves, regulate their emotions and discover what they’re truly capable of. We believe in the power of change, of second chances and of new chapters.
It happened for me — and we see it happening every single day for the children and families we work with.

🎉 Emotionally Healthy Minds is 3 years old! 🎉
In just three years, we’ve had the privilege of seeing so many children’s lives transformed — and it’s been an honour to walk alongside them and their families. 💛
Here are just a few of the incredible changes we’ve witnessed:
✨ A child who couldn’t engage in learning is now thriving in specialist provision.
✨ A student once suspended regularly for trashing classrooms now loves learning so much he doesn’t want to take breaks.
✨ A young person with overwhelming separation anxiety can now confidently leave her mum.
✨ A student who once struggled deeply with body confidence is beginning to feel comfortable and proud of who they are.
✨ Many students have shared things they’ve never told anyone before — and, with the right support, they are now in a much stronger place both emotionally and academically.
✨ Countless students achieving things they once thought impossible — because now they believe they can.
These are just the first few stories that come to mind — there are so many more we could share...
Here’s to the next chapter of Emotionally Healthy Minds, to our wonderful team and to even more children finding hope, joy, and confidence in learning and in life. 🍾

Weekly Win: Lauren’s Outdoor Maths 🌿
This week, Lauren’s student made brilliant progress with her times tables — and had a great time doing it! She loved playing the times table beanbag game in the garden, combining movement and maths in a fun, active way.
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, we love to challenge the idea that real learning only happens at a desk.
In fact, some of our most powerful moments come from stepping outside, whatever the weather.

✨ Weekly Win: From “I can’t” to “I just did!” ✨
Anne shared a brilliant moment from one of her sessions this week. Her student was working on perimeter and area — and while perimeter was no problem, area felt overwhelming. “I just can’t do it,” she said.
But after Anne gently modelled an example, the student suddenly lit up:
“Oh, I could do it like this!”
And just like that, she worked it out — not once, but twice! 💪
It was such a joy to see her confidence bloom in real time. Big thanks to Catherine too, for the inspiration to use tape on the floor — a creative twist that really helped it click!

When your child struggles, we know you feel it too...
Their anxiety becomes yours.
Their meltdowns leave you drained.
Their sadness sits heavy in your chest.
You want to be their safe place — and you are —but some days it’s simply exhausting.
Supporting their emotional health matters.
But so does protecting your own.
This holiday, find moments that are just for you — even if it’s 10 quiet minutes with a hot cuppa, a walk in the fresh air or a chat with someone you love.
You can’t pour from an empty cup. I know it’s not always easy to find the time, but you deserve to feel topped up too.
When my cup is full, I’m calmer, more patient and happier— and I know it makes me a better mum too. 💛 x

🍕 Fractions + Pizza = Incredible Learning! 🍕
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, we’re all about making learning fun — because when it’s fun, it sticks. And let’s be honest… anything involving pizza is fun! 😄
This week, our amazing Lauren used real pizza in her session to teach fractions — and it was a brilliant success! Her student, who is part of our home ed community and once found learning really challenging in school, is now absolutely smashing it.
By stacking slices to explore equivalence, she built her confidence and deepened her understanding — all through hands-on, meaningful learning.
We love watching our young people thrive in a space that works for them. x

Unsure whether tutoring at Emotionally Healthy Minds is right for your child? Here’s why we might be the perfect fit…
At EHM, we know that learning and wellbeing go hand in hand. Our tuition sessions go beyond just academics — we help children build self-belief and confidence, develop a growth mindset and grow in emotional resilience.
Here’s what makes us different:
🌟 Personalised One-on-One Support
Our 1:1 tutoring focuses entirely on your child. Sessions are tailored to their learning style, strengths, and areas they find challenging. We combine academic support with emotion coaching and take a different approach — sometimes working in the garden or even writing on the tables!)
🏡 A Comfortable, Stress-Free Learning Environment in SWF
Many of our pupils have struggled in school. That’s why we create a warm, welcoming space with music, games and even a cup of hot chocolate on arrival. Learning happens best when children feel calm, motivated and understood — and our tutors work hard to build the relationships that make that possible.
🧩 Identifying and Addressing Learning Challenges
From dyslexia and ADHD to autism and other learning differences, we spot challenges early and provide targeted strategies. All our tutors are qualified, experienced teachers — including former SENCOs, Deputy Heads and school leaders — who receive ongoing training to ensure the best support for your child.
🔒 Safe and Professional
Your child’s safety is our top priority. We’re proud members of The Tutors Association. All tutors are qualified, insured, undergo regular safeguarding training and have DAILY DBS checks.
At EHM, it’s not just about tutoring — it’s about helping your child thrive academically, emotionally and personally.
If you’re looking for a tutoring service that takes a compassionate, tailored approach to your child’s education, we’d love to support you and your family.
