Workshops & Events

This session explores why some children struggle with school, what may be sitting underneath school refusal, anxiety or overwhelm, and how understanding your child’s needs, personality and stress responses can help you support them more effectively. We’ll also look at the kind of support schools can put in place, and how parents can move things forward with more understanding, confidence and a clearer plan.

July is often the month when little niggles start to show. Conversations slip, you stop talking as much, things feel a bit out of balance, and the small tensions you usually ignore start creeping in. For some families, the summer holidays can add to that strain, especially when routines change or blended and extended families all come together. This session looks at why relationships drift into these moments and offers gentle, practical ways to bring things back to a calmer, more loving place.

August can feel like a pressure cooker for families. Routines disappear, kids are home, and the constant juggle can push everyone’s patience to the edge. For some parents, the move from primary to secondary brings a whole new set of worries, and for others exam results day adds another layer of anxiety. This session looks at why this month feels so intense, and how to ease the stress so your home feels calmer and easier to manage.

September brings a lot of change for people. For some it is back to school worries and settling children into new routines. For others it is the quiet shift of an empty nest as teenagers move on to college or university. And with ADHD Awareness Month, many adults start to notice their own struggles and the signs of undiagnosed ADHD in their day-to-day life. This session is a gentle space to make sense of it all and to gain some tips on how to cope with these feelings.

October is the month of masks, but many of us wear them all year round. This session is a chance to look at the gap between how life looks on the outside and how it actually feels on the inside. With a gentle Halloween twist, we will explore what scares you, what you avoid facing, and how to start moving past the things that hold you back so you can show up in a more authentic way.

November is often the month where the pressure starts to build. Money worries creep in, family tensions feel louder, and the thought of the holiday season can stir up anxiety long before it arrives. This session looks at why everything feels heavier at this time of year and offers simple, steady ways to ease the stress so you can move through the month feeling calmer and more able to cope.

December can stir up every emotion. For some it is a month of family, traditions and memories, and for others it brings loneliness, pressure, or the worry of keeping the peace. This session is a gentle space to look back on the year, celebrate the moments that mattered, and reconnect with the parts of childhood that once made this season feel special. We will talk about simple ways to keep your cool, protect your peace, and make the holidays feel a little easier in your own home.
