Working with you to raise an emotionally healthy generation
Tutoring, Emotion Coaching, Parental Consultancy and Training to help develop positive emotional health alongside academic success.
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, our passion is to nurture positive emotional health. We believe academic achievement and emotional wellbeing go hand in hand—and it doesn’t always have to be a struggle.
Giving children and young people the tools to understand, regulate and manage their emotions is key—and this is where we can help. After all, how can we expect children, or even adults, to excel academically if they’re struggling emotionally?
Everything we offer is built around four key strands:
Emotion Coaching
Compassionate, tailored Emotion Coaching to help children understand their feelings and behaviours, empowering them to make positive changes. After all, emotionally healthy children become emotionally healthy adults.
Tutoring
Combining Academic Tutoring and Emotion Coaching to meet each child’s unique learning needs, helping them catch up, keep up and fall in love with learning all over again.
Empowering Parents
Providing parents with practical tools and insights to confidently support their child’s emotional and educational growth at home—always with kindness and encouragement.
Training
Partnering with schools, education professionals and organisations to deliver tailored training and consultancy, sharing best practices that foster emotionally healthy, thriving environments.
Learning barriers are broken down, potential is unlocked and hope is restored
✨ Safeguarding at Emotionally Healthy Minds ✨
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, the safety and wellbeing of the children we support is our absolute priority.
We’re proud to be corporate members of @tutorsassoc and to have signed up for something very unusual—daily DBS checks for all our tutors and coaches. To put that into perspective, when I was a teacher, my DBS check was only completed when I started a new role and then lasted for the entirety of my time in the school!
That’s why we go above and beyond with our safeguarding:
*** Daily DBS checks for all our tutors and coaches
*** £1 million insurance cover for every tutor and coach.
*** Annual safeguarding training so our team stays up to date.
*** Monthly group supervision, plus ongoing access to me as supervisor, so tutors and coaches always have support if concerns arise.
We’re also proud to be corporate members of The Tutors’ Association, holding ourselves to the highest professional standards.
We take safeguarding seriously—because nothing matters more than keeping your children safe.

Who remembers floppy disks? Yes, I am old enough too!
Rob not only created one but used it to frame his student’s poem, showing that poetry can be fun and creative when connected to real life. At EHM, we prove that learning—and writing—doesn’t have to be boring! Now this student can take it home and treasure it forever.

🌟 Celebrating Anne & her student! 🌟
Homework used to be a huge challenge for this young person—causing stress at home and leaving tasks unfinished for months at a time. But with Anne’s support, things have completely turned around.
Mum shared last week that homework is now being completed, even online tasks that were previously left untouched. The student has even joined their school maths club and is engaging with learning in a whole new way.
Homework time is now happening much more harmoniously—what a win!

🌋 Big feelings can feel explosive.
This activity – making an Anger Volcano – helps children understand what happens when emotions build up inside. By exploring anger in a safe, creative way, they can learn that it’s normal to feel it and that there are healthy ways to let it out.
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, we use activities like this to turn challenging emotions into opportunities for growth. 💛

At the weekend I was doing the very mundane job of sorting through paperwork when I came across some old lesson observation notes.
I remembered the lesson instantly. I was teaching Reception at the time, introducing the seasons using Incy Wincy Spider and a song on my guitar. At the end of the notes, the feedback said:
“An outstanding lesson – now work on making it even better.”
I had delivered a lesson graded at the very highest standard, and yet the message was still to push for more. That’s often what school life can feel like — always about improving your performance, sometimes to the point of burnout and exhaustion.
Of course, many schools do work really hard on staff and pupil wellbeing, but the system itself can often feel relentless.
At Emotionally Healthy Minds, we do things differently.
✨ It’s about connection, not perfection.
✨ It’s about wellbeing over relentless performance.
✨ It’s about what works for children and families, not what someone says we should be doing.
I’m so proud to be part of EHM — it really is the best place to work (even if I do say so myself!).

✨ Meet Lauren! ✨
Lauren had her very first session with us today, and we’re already so thrilled to have her as part of the EHM team. She’s wonderful—fun, full of warmth, with a real heart for children.
She’ll be available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during school hours only, so if you’d like her to support your home-educated child, please do get in touch.
Lauren still teaches two days a week, and I know EHM will be an even better place with her on board. She’s amazing and I can’t wait for you all to meet her! 🌟

🌟 Weekly Win 🌟
This week, I want to celebrate the brilliant work Brogan has been doing with one of our young people. She supported a child in exploring emotions through painted landscapes — a creative, sensory-based idea that gave them a safe and personal way to express how they were feeling.
Each painting represented a different emotional state, showing how colours, scenery and experiences can be connected to emotions without needing complex words.
✨ Why this is a win:
* It kept the young person fully engaged with something visual and hands-on
* It allowed them to externalise feelings through colours, shapes, and scenes — not just naming emotions but really thinking about how they feel
* It created a non-judgemental space where emotions weren’t labelled as good or bad, just recognised as different
We love seeing how creative approaches like this can open doors for children to explore their inner world.
Well done Brogan xx

We are honoured to be speaking at the National Tutors Association Conference once again this year.
This time, we’ll be addressing a critical topic: supporting children with anxiety in tutoring sessions. As a community dedicated to tutoring, we must continuously adapt to meet students’ evolving needs—and this issue has never been more urgent.
Here’s why:
1 in 5 children and young people aged 8 to 25 in England now have a probable mental health disorder—this includes anxiety—according to the latest NHS figures.
In addition, the number of children referred to NHS mental health services for anxiety has more than doubled since the pandemic, reaching 204,526 referrals in 2023–24 alone.
These numbers are staggering. Anxiety is not only widespread; it’s escalating—impacting attendance, engagement and young lives.
Tutoring must be more than just academic support—it needs to be emotionally attuned as well.
We are honoured to be able to share strategies and insights with our peers on how tutoring can become the compassionate, responsive space for anxious learners it needs to be.
Thank you for having us @tutorsassoc
