TW..........Mentions S/Assault.....

In the year endring 2024/5 - 7,278 pupils were suspended for sexual misconduct shockingly 20 of those children were aged 5 OR UNDER.(D.O.E.)

PARENTS please have those difficult BUT very necessary conversations with the children & young people in your lives about what is and is not acceptable in terms of touching someone else, not just in school but anywhere, also please be careful about what they are hearing, saying or watching.

Again as someone who is neurodivergent & one of my presenting symptoms has always been Dyscalculia ......when I was about 7 a teacher up north not only took the mickey out of my Essex accent, he also told me I was a "Thick Southerner" because before we'd moved I did not learn the times tables with the "help of a clock" the way they did.
If you read this & worry about numbers let me tell you "I still see numbers in the opposite way" I can "add up in my head but not always on paper" BUT I head a very successful Community Therapy Service which began at my dining table & my message is .........

"Do not believe everyone else's opinion" because that's all it is thier opinion

And if you are a Therapist wondering how you can make your therapy business work comment YES & I will show you how to make it succesful

As someone who is Neurodivergent I couldnt have put it better myself

As we head to the halfway point of our National Lottery Grant it has shown us that we have seen almost 50% more people than we had expected to at this time.

As a therapist with many years under my belt this does not surprise me, everything feels so hard some days, times have been hard for a longtime and private therapy can be expensive.

I am so proud of the work we have all done & contine to do in these hard times.

One of the ways we are looking to see more children & young people is via Sponsorship.
If you or your company would consider sponsoring a child/ young person, then please get in touch.....it will do so much for them and in turn you, even the good old Tax Man approves, so I'm told. Please feel free to email me

This is such an important subject ....PARENTS if you don't have the
"sending intimate images" talk with your child/ren before they might think of doing it we can almost guarantee that you will need to have that conversation sooner or later......those who encourage young children to send intimate images of themselves are very persuasive & sadly children believe the
" I won't share it" part.

If you need help having this conversation and would like to know what to do if this happens in your household then please leave a YES below .......there will be a charge for this, BUT we know that you know in this climate its a necessary investment for your children

A child might be pressured to send an intimate image by someone they trust, someone they’re dating, or someone they’ve only met online. If that person then threatens to share it, your child may feel frightened or ashamed.
The message they need to hear is clear: the person making the threat is responsible for their behaviour. Your child deserves help.
Stay calm, avoid blaming them, and seek support. eSafety has guidance on talking with children about intimate images and responding to sexual extortion.
