KP Holistic Therapy

With the new school year starting and some future collaborations in planning process i have created a bio for my Derbyshire therapy service. I have a couple of afternoon spaces available from next week if any children, young people or families within Derbyshire need any support. Please share with any family, friends or local schools across Derbyshire. As a mobile therapist I can travel across the region as my goal is to accessible to all communities whether in a town or rural area. I currently have access to centres in Matlock and Belper and looking in Bakewell/Buxton, but can also go into schools or community centres. Contact me on 07803 714550 for more details

Sharing my parent webinars again to support parents to understand different things that their child may be experiencing

Are you finding your child’s behaviour hard to make sense of?

In these 2 hour sessions, we’ll explore:
- Why behaviour is communication
- what is anxiety
- How anxiety shows up in children
- What happens in the brain during overwhelm
- Practical ways to support your child at home
- How to stay calm and connected when things feel difficult
-ways to connect with your children, and so much more.

Over the holidays I have introduced a quiet kids club to Belper. It has been a bit anxiety provoking as not knowing many people in the Belper, but today we had a full house and it was fab. Board games, fidget toy making and a bit of cornflour sensory play. The best achievement was that after 3 years of play therapy someone sorted out the rubix cube in about 3 minutes where no one has achieved that with my cube before

Watching The Great ADHD Myth, hope i don't get too angry with it

Today's Kids Club was all about the teenagers of the group having the opportunity for some messy play. You are never too old for some messy play and in their words "this is so much fun'. There are still a couple of spaces for the remaining 2 weeks of kids club. Comment if you are interested.

Today i took my mum to see Paddington, I wasn't really that bothered, it was a wish for her. I wasn't expecting how emotional it would be, yes it is Paddington but the theme of the story is that no one should be alone, being different is ok, and we all just need to be kind. Tissues were needed. Definitely worth a trip
