Support for Schools & Education Settings

I spent five years working for a local authority, supporting schools from EYFS through to post-16, from both the mainstream and specialist sectors, to embed a whole-school approach to mental health. And it’s still some of the work closest to my heart! I understand the pressures education is under, and I know that mental health can feel like one more thing competing for attention alongside everything else on your plate.

Whether you need support for your Senior Mental Health Lead, training for staff or longer-term consultancy to evaluate and help you embed a culture of mental health across your whole setting, this is where that conversation starts.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Every organisation’s needs are different so my work is bespoke, but it generally falls into a few areas:

School Mental Health & Wellbeing Consultancy

Working alongside your Senior Mental Health Lead to audit your provision against Public Health England's 8 principles, with a comprehensive report and practical recommendations for your next steps and any key priorities.

Training for Schools

Practical, engaging training for either whole staff or selected groups. This builds your team’s confidence in supporting pupils' mental health and promoting positive wellbeing across your setting.

Mental Health First Aid Training

Accredited MHFA England training gives your staff the skills and confidence to recognise and respond to mental health difficulties in pupils and with their colleagues.

Coaching for Education

One-to-one or group coaching for school leaders and staff, supporting development and helping to embed a coaching culture across your setting. This may be to develop self-awareness and career goals, or to support work towards a school development priority.

Supervision in Education

Regular, structured space to reflect on your practice and the impact om your own wellbeing. This is valuable given the emotional demands of working in education, particularly roles such as Head Teacher, SLT, safeguarding or pastoral support.

Therapy for Education

Commissioned therapeutic support for an individual pupil or staff member, or a therapy provision designed for your setting’s individual needs.

A Senior Mental Health Lead who feels supported rather than overwhelmed by the role.
Staff who feel more confident supporting pupils’ mental health, and more able to look after their own.
Improvements in behaviour, attendance and engagement as mental health is embedded as a golden thread across your provision.
Mental health woven through policy and practice, not a standalone initiative.

How It Usually Starts

I offer a free 45-minute consultation to talk through your current challenges and priorities: no obligation, just a conversation about where you are and what would actually help. If I think there’s something I can support with, I’ll recommend an approach that fits your setting.
