If you’ve landed here because life at home (or school) feels hard right now, you’re not alone.

Sometimes it looks like anxiety. Sometimes it looks like anger. Sometimes it’s tears, shutdowns, meltdowns, school refusal, or constant conflict.

Often parents are doing their best — and still feel like they’re getting it wrong.

My work is here to bring steadiness back. To help your child understand their feelings. And to help you feel supported, not blamed.

What I help with…

  • Anxiety and constant worry

  • Big feelings, meltdowns, shutdowns and ‘stuck’ moments

  • Stress around school, friendships, confidence, and transitions

  • Neurodiversity (diagnosed or suspected) — and children who simply experience the world intensely

  • Parents feeling depleted, unheard, isolated, and at a loss

This support is not just for neurodiverse children. Neurotypical children and parents can struggle too — and they deserve help and understanding just as much.

Individual Sessions

focused sessions for parents or children when you want help with a specific issue.

We have all benefited massively from the children going to chatterminds. They now have loads of skills to help them deal with their emotions which will help them for life.

Thank you so much for all the sessions you've done with Jacob. He's learnt so much and has always been very happy and reassured in your company. We have lots of great ideas and skills to practice with him now to help him recognise and manage his emotions. One of the main points for us all is that we've learnt to recognise the path that precedes the emotion — understanding that the presenting emotion is usually the tip of the iceberg.

Carol has worked with my daughter both one-to-one and in group sessions. She has helped her identify tricky feelings and given her a 'toolkit' for dealing with them.

Carol’s deep care, focus and kindness created an incredibly safe and inspiring space… The mindfulness parenting course was a real step change for me.

How I work

I use mindfulness in a down-to-earth way — as a set of practical tools for recognising emotions, steadying the body, and responding more skilfully in difficult moments.

With children, I often use the Chatterminds Bears to help them name emotions without shame, and my workbook “Mindfulness & Emotions for 6–12 year olds” to make emotional learning simple, concrete, and even a little bit fun.

Families often tell me they leave sessions feeling calmer, clearer, and more able to cope with what’s in front of them.
