Emma delivered an interactive and engaging workshop which focussed on acknowledging, understanding and managing feelings. The girls were encouraged to ‘dig deep’ and analyse what they are feeling and to respond in an appropriate manner. Emma’s insightful workshops were beautifully crafted and delivered with humour and authority.

Fantastic talk! Very useful and inspiring. Incorporating case study activities and action plans was helpful

The girls came out saying it was the best talk they had ever had, and so many parents have emailed their appreciation of both talks to me today. I think the messages were very strong, defining resilience and about ‘work in progress.

Thank you for the talk this evening, it was excellent and I think really important for parents to hear the messages that you delivered!

I know I speak for all the staff when I say how fabulous the workshop was today. Not only was it a powerful opportunity for our pupils to determine what values matter to them and then explore their boundaries, it was really impactful CPD for the staff. I’m sure the legacy of today will be long-lasting. I am so pleased that we managed to make it happen

Our students and staff gained so much from working with Emma. The care she took to understand our specific context and what we were hoping to achieve had really positive results. The tailored programme she put together inspired confidence and faith in the students from the get-go and it was clear her approach reflected an acute appreciation about how young people experience the world. I would highly recommend working with Emma if you are seeking a bespoke and sensitive approach to pastoral care.

The masterclass series on Difficult Conversations was a game changer for me. I started off thinking this was for work – but in essence, it has helped me be so much more effective in having difficult conversations in my life as a whole. I am so much more confident. This gives me more calm, which means I can listen better when difficult situations come up, and speak to my values and talk about what’s at stake so much more clearly. Thank you so much.

The Governors met last night and your report was warmly welcomed. Thank you for your hard work, sensitivity, and insight; your recommendations have so much more credibility as a result

Thank you for delivering such a powerful session. I knew it would be excellent but in some ways it felt more powerful because despite never visiting our school, you understood so much of the context! Our current approach around pastoral care is reactive and we are slowly changing that to being proactive. Tonight’s session will frame so much of the team’s thinking moving forwards!

Emma is by far the wisest and most capable coach / mentor / therapist I have ever worked with. Even though she would correct me and say she is not a therapist. She has helped me navigate the last year with realism ,compassion and has a no bullshit approach that I respond well to. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Just don’t take all my slots. I am keeping this women in my life for a long time .

The session was really helpful for me in clarifying things a bit and seeing them from another perspective. There was an opportunity to try out some of the things we discussed recently… When the storm had blown through as it were, she did independently and unprompted say ‘I feel better now – I really just needed to let it all out’ which was gratifying to hear as it felt to me as though the slightly different approach had allowed that to happen.
