About Us

Having spent 25 years working in Education, Kelly specialises in helping Children, Young People, Parents / Guardians and School Staff, stay connected as they navigate the challenges of being human.

Reframing concerning behaviours as an opportunity to teach lagging or missing skills, Kelly works proactively and collaboratively, listening closely to ensure people feel safe, held and supported. This is a trauma informed approach.

Kelly’s knowledge of Neuroscience, allows her to appreciate the important functions of our brains and how this impacts our behaviour. Without this, we miss so much if we only focus on behaviours that we can see.

Kelly understands that the environment around us and what’s happening inside of our bodies, has a huge impact on our behaviour and learning. Knowing how our nervous systems can and do respond is crucial to understanding behaviour.

With her trainee Psychotherapist hat on, Kelly believes that our early experiences and the attachments we build with those that care for us, play a huge role in impacting how we respond in childhood and beyond. Developed from a basic need for survival, behavioural patterns emerge and as we grow, we find ways to reinforce those beliefs, sometimes in harmful ways.

Taking all of this into consideration is essential when creating a personalised support plan that helps families thrive.
