Why families and schools ask for support

Children come to me when school feels overwhelming — when big emotions, behaviour struggles, or low confidence make learning hard. They may be refusing school, acting out, or shutting down because they don’t know how else to cope.

Parents often feel drained by constant battles or worried about what’s really going on. Teachers are stretched, trying to help a child while keeping a classroom running. Principals and SEN (Special Educational Needs) coordinators want support that makes things better for both staff and students.

Educational support puts the child first. It gives them tools to cope, while parents and teachers get clear, realistic guidance that works in everyday life.

Challenges educational support can help with

These are some of the most common struggles children face. Every child is unique, but you may recognise your own child in one or more of these.

Some children carry a constant sense of worry — about friendships, schoolwork, or simply walking into the classroom. This can leave them tense, tearful, or withdrawn. With the right support, children can learn ways to cope with these big feelings so they feel calmer and safer at school.

Meltdowns, anger, or shutting down are often signs that a child is overwhelmed, not "bold" or "naughty." When we understand what's driving the behaviour, we can put strategies in place that help the child manage their emotions and give parents and teachers confidence in how to respond.

School Fears and avoidance is not about laziness or choosing not to engage with school. It usually means a child is facing something that feels too hard or frightening. This can be exhausting for parents and stressful for teachers. Together, we can create a plan that makes school feel less daunting and helps the child take small, realistic steps forward.

Children who feel they're "not good enough" may avoid tasks, give up quickly, or lose the joy of learning. This can knock their confidence further. With gentle support, children can rebuild their sense of achievement and begin to feel proud of themselves again.

Some children find it difficult to make or keep friends. They may feel left out, anxious in groups, or unsure how to join in. Support can help them develop the social skills they need to connect with others and feel like they belong.

Moving to a new class, starting secondary school, or other big life changes can be unsettling. Even small changes in routine can feel overwhelming. With guidance, children can prepare for transitions and feel more secure as they adjust.
