Hi,

Hoping that as you have found your way to this page you are a parent or carer or know someone who is, for a child with special educational needs (SEN).

As a specialist teacher to children and young adults who are dyslexic and/or dyscalculic I have been able to have an insight into the parent’s world. This can often be challenging, isolating and emotional, which is why I have developed The Creative Calm workshops.

The Creative Calm workshops are gentle, small-group sessions designed to help you slow down, reduce stress and take time out from busy and demanding lives.

As a former SENCO, alongside my experience in children’s counselling, working with a creative arts charity and my own lived experience as an SEN parent, I bring a deep understanding of the realities faced by families of children with additional needs.

My workshops are created specifically for parents and carers of children with special educational needs, offering a calm, supportive space to pause, breathe and spend time alongside others who understand – without pressure, expectation or the need to explain.

Sessions combine simple creative activities using natural materials with quiet reflection, creating an accessible and grounding experience. No artistic experience is needed.

I look forward to welcoming you to our calm space and supporting you during our workshops.....an hour just for you!
