I’m Lisa, mum to 3 wonderful children and I am the owner of Nurture to Thrive, an emotional wellbeing coaching company that helps children and adolescents develop tools and strategies to support them in everyday life.I have a BSc Hons degree in Education and more than 15 years’ experience working with children in schools with a focus on emotions and mental health. Therefore being able to support children and adolescents aged 6-16 years. Experience with children who have additional needs, setting up and running Nurture Groups, along with being a qualified ELSA. Empowering your children with the ability to develop emotionally supportive relationships is key to them building a sense of self-worth and confidence. I offer one-to-one sessions and small group coaching. Using a creative and strength-based approach to support children, enabling them to focus on their individual goals and the steps required to achieve them. Bespoke coaching sessions are planned for each child. They are fun, creative and focus on the child/young person’s interests and individual needs.Wellbeing skills such as positive mindset, gratitude, affirmations, breathing techniques, social and emotional regulation understanding all form part of the 8-week initial programme. During the sessions, children learn to understand why they act and feel the way they do, be that frightened, anxious, angry or frustrated. Together we work through to programme to help them learn ways to recognise their emotions and develop the tools so they can help themselves. The sessions help:Build social, emotional and wellbeing confidence.Develop resilience and strategies to cope with uncomfortable emotions.Nurture a positive mindset.Enable them to flourish and be proud of their achievements.I believe that empowering children with self-awareness allows them to develop important life skills and the confidence to be open and honest with themselves and others around them.If your child is struggling with their emotions and displaying anxiety or signs of distress or perhaps, they are withdrawn and do not feel themselves, then please get in contact and together we can work towards providing them with the skills and confidence to be themselves again.DBS and references available :)
