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
This week’s win goes to Lauren Fayers! During a session with her student, who had previously struggled with times tables, Lauren made learning fun and engaging. She turned a game of ‘Crocodile’ (like battleships) into a turtle-themed version to match her student’s interests. By the end, her student was laughing, smiling, and confidently calling out times table answers at speed.

On Friday, we held our termly team training event at EHM.
We spent time learning in more depth about how to support anxious students, sharing ideas, reflecting on practice, and strengthening the way we show up for the children and families we work with. Even though we were 5 team members down we still had an amazing time together.
We were also joined by our Non-Executive Directors, who continue to support, challenge and champion the work we do. I honestly don’t know what I would do without them.
It certainly won’t be long before we won’t all fit into the building anymore.
You may say yours is, but I think my team is the best team in the world. I honestly feel honoured every day to serve alongside them. 🥰

Last week we welcomed two new faces to Emotionally Healthy Minds.
Kate, our counsellor, and Nicole, one of our new tutors, have both joined the team.
Nicole brings a wealth of experience as a Primary tutor, and after her very first session with her new student on Thursday, her student said he didn’t want it to end… which says everything.
Welcome, Nicole. We’re very excited to have you as part of the team. x

We have something incredibly exciting to share…
We’d love to introduce Kate, our new counsellor at Emotionally Healthy Minds.
Kate is completely wonderful. She brings a wealth of experience, having previously worked in CAMHS and as a school counsellor. She has supported so many children and young people, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her joining our team. What we’re most excited about is that Kate now has the freedom to work the Emotionally Healthy Minds way – completely child-led and at their pace.
This is the first time we’re formally sharing that we now have our own counsellor and she is almost already fully booked. Kate currently has just one space remaining.
If you would like to enquire or join her waiting list, please get in touch.

On Friday, James and I had the privilege of leading another parent workshop on helping children build strong self-esteem.
One of the things we explored together was the power of labels. We talked about how even labels that seem “positive” can sometimes feel heavy for children to carry. When a child feels they must always live up to being “the clever one” or “the good one”, it can create pressure and fear of getting things wrong. Instead, we explored ways to focus on effort, growth and who children are becoming.
I always come away from these sessions feeling incredibly encouraged. The parents were so open in the discussions and really willing to reflect and think about small changes that can make a big difference for their children. It was also wonderful to see how invested the school is in supporting both their pupils and their families. When schools and parents work together like this, it creates such a powerful foundation for children to thrive. xx

Meet us at the edge of the hall, where learning begins.
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, we meet our children exactly where they are, not where we expect them to be.
Well-being always takes priority, even if it means putting planning on hold to ensure our children are self-regulated and ready to learn. Nina exemplified this beautifully the other day.
I really think I have taken on the best team here at Emotionally Healthy Minds. I genuinely couldn’t be more proud!

Weekly Win
Lauren created a brilliant session this week that blended learning with real life preparation for her student’s upcoming trip to a pizza restaurant. Using a Pizza Restaurant game, she helped her student become familiar with what the experience might feel like in a playful, low-pressure way.
Together they made their own “pizzas”, using counters as toppings while working on number bonds to 10. They counted the toppings carefully before placing the pizza in the “oven” and turning over a timer to show it was cooking. When the pizza was “ready”, the bell was rung and an oven glove was used to safely take it out, practising the sequencing and real-life routines he will experience on his visit.
Lauren also wove in some early literacy through hands-on, sensory activities. Using Magna Tiles, they spotted and built familiar letters, before reinforcing this by writing letters in salt with a paintbrush.
Lauren, you are SUCH a good teacher. Thank you for choosing to work with Emotionally Healthy Minds xx

When new students join us at Emotionally Healthy Minds, they receive a small welcome pack to help them settle in and feel part of our community from the very start.
Inside they’ll find:
• A fully equipped pencil case
• Books chosen to support their learning
• And their very own EHM wristband
It might seem like a small thing, but it’s actually really important to us. When children arrive, we want them to feel safe, comfortable and that they truly belong here. Before learning can happen, those needs have to be met first. If you think about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, a sense of safety and belonging comes before everything else.
We love seeing our students wearing them proudly. I’ve got mine on today too.
Thank you for being part of the Emotionally Healthy Minds family.
