One of my big passions is working with schools to provide reflective spaces. My doctoral thesis explored how EPs can support teachers with work related stress. Below is a link to a conversation I had exploring how and why reflective spaces are so important #Edpsychs www.podbean.com/ew/pb-uzncv-...

An area of my practice that I’ve continued to develop this year is direct work with parents. I love being able to support parents to understand behaviour and provide useful strategies and frameworks that support positive change. A really important part of EP practice! 😊

Next Tuesday, I'm giving a talk at UCL about the downsides of mental health awareness in schools.

I'll be sharing the work I've been doing over the last two years, which explores the negative effects that universal mental health interventions can have in schools

Proud to play a small part in this video alongside colleagues talking about the importance of children and young people knowing themselves for #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek
"Know yourself, grow yourself sounds really easy on the surface, but it represents a really complex process."

@edpsy.bsky.social & #EdPsychs from across the country came together once again to share their thoughts on this year's #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek theme
