For therapists & coaches

Add mindfulness to the way you already support children.

You already know how to listen, guide and create a safe space. Learn a practical mindfulness method that gives children tools to notice what is happening inside them and respond with greater awareness.

IN YOUR WORK

Sometimes talking is not enough.

A child may understand exactly what is happening and still get swept away by a thought, feeling or reaction.

Mindfulness adds another way in. Through attention to the body, breath, thoughts and feelings, children learn to notice their experience as it is happening.

Not instead of the work you already do. Alongside it.

What changes

From talking about it to noticing it.

Mindfulness gives children practical ways to explore what is happening inside them, in the moment itself.

Notice the body

Learn to recognise physical signals of stress, emotion and tension.

Recognise thoughts and feelings

Become more aware of inner experiences without immediately needing to change them.

Create space before reacting

Practise pausing, noticing and choosing what to do next.

The impact

How far this can reach.

What begins in a session can become something a child learns to use independently, in the moments when you are not there.

You

Learn a structured mindfulness method you can bring into your professional work.

→
The child

Learns to notice thoughts, feelings and signals in the body.

→
Everyday moments

The practice moves into school, home, friendships and difficult situations.

→
Growing independence

Children develop skills they can return to without always needing an adult beside them.

Something they can practise for themselves.

Not an answer to every difficulty, but a way to meet what is happening with more awareness.

AND SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT EXPECT

Your presence becomes part of the method.

Mindfulness is not simply another set of exercises to add to your professional toolkit. How you guide matters too.

Throughout the training, you practise noticing your own reactions, staying present and allowing space without immediately needing to fix what arises. Skills that matter when teaching mindfulness, and may quietly influence the rest of your work too.
