Positive mental health and well-being is a priority in our school. We strive to provide a variety of opportunities for our children to develop the skills needed for life. The session with Catherine was excellent. The children were interested and the content engaging. We, children included, particularly found the information that highlighted the way the brain works and how this impacts on the way we react. The session enabled the children to think about what causes stress for them and allowed them to begin to develop coping strategies. This is extremely important as they move forward into the next phase of their education and being able to regulate their levels of stress. Both staff and children felt that the lesson was gaged at the right level for the year group and beneficial in supporting on-going positive mental health and well-being. We highly recommend this course for other schools.

Catherine visited our school today to lead an assembly and kick start Children’s Mental Health Week. The children loved the story and were engaged by Catherine’s delivery and approach. She supported the children to see the importance of thinking and interacting with positivity. I am sure the children will be talking about their ‘inner Phoenix’ for a long time to come! Thank you Catherine!

Catherine came and did a taster session at my school with year 6 pupils about transition and how to handle potentially scary new situations. They loved it and so did the staff. Catherine pitched it perfectly so that they understood the science behind your “flight, freeze or fight” mode. The staff present said it was brilliant. Her teaching background is an added bonus as she is very comfortable in front of a whole class too. Thanks to Catherine. Would definitely recommend.
