Focused support for teachers, teaching assistants, pastoral staff and school leaders who feel they are carrying too much from work.

For the past 15 years I’ve worked extensively in schools, both with pupils and staff. That has given me a deep understanding of the kinds of pressures people in education can face, and how quickly things can sometimes begin to shift when we work with the right pattern.

You may be functioning on the outside, but still going home with your mind racing, replaying conversations, worrying about pupils, or feeling as though you never properly switch off.

This is why I’m now offering a focused School Staff Reset Session: a 60-minute online session, currently available at the introductory price of £150.

Working in schools can affect people in all sorts of ways. It might be workload pressure, conflict with another member of staff, a difficult interaction with a parent, feeling triggered or stressed by certain pupils, interviews, imposter syndrome, feeling out of your depth, managing staff, parents’ evening, or simply carrying too much for too long.

It can also be the emotional build-up that comes from hearing difficult safeguarding information. In schools, staff are often exposed to painful things children have experienced, and even when you know you are doing the right thing professionally, it can still stay with you. Over time, that weight can build.

Whatever you are facing, when the nervous system settles, everything becomes easier to deal with.

In this single-session reset, we identify a few key areas to work on. The first part of the session focuses on reducing the emotional intensity around what you are facing. The second part becomes more coaching-based, where we look together at the way forward from this calmer place.

Sometimes this also means working on things outside of school, because everything is connected. Stress at work can affect home life, and what is happening outside of school can make work feel harder too.

You’ll also learn powerful techniques you can use yourself after the session, so you can build on the work if needed.

The aim is to help you feel calmer, clearer and better able to deal with the things you cannot directly control. And for the things you can influence, we’ll work together to help you respond as effectively as possible.

60 minutes online
Introductory price: £150
For teachers, teaching assistants, pastoral staff and school leaders

This session is for school staff who are generally functioning day to day, but feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, reactive, anxious, shut down, or unable to switch off from work.

It is not designed to replace psychiatric care or crisis support. If you are currently in acute crisis, or need intensive medical or psychiatric support, that support should come first.

At the same time, you do not need to feel “fine” before getting in touch. Many people arrive feeling as though nothing will really help, especially when a problem has been there for a long time. Often, when we work with the pattern underneath it, things can begin to shift more quickly than people expect.

If this sounds like the kind of support you need, use the contact form and choose School Staff Reset Session from the dropdown menu. You’re also welcome to use the message box to say a little about what you’re carrying.
