ABOUT ME
I am an experienced primary school teacher and a qualified mindfulness educator with a strong commitment to promoting positive mental health and wellbeing in children, young people, and adults. I successfully led Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) within a school setting for almost a decade and am currently the Oracy Lead, a role I consider central to embedding pupil voice and effective communication across the curriculum.
Mindfulness and oracy work closely together. By supporting individuals to develop awareness of their thoughts and emotions, they become better able to communicate clearly, listen attentively, and express their values with confidence across a range of contexts.
I hold a diploma in Child Psychology and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), am a Level 3 Person‑Centred Counsellor, and am currently studying towards a Master’s degree in Psychology. While I am not a practising psychologist or therapist, my work is firmly grounded in a person‑centred approach, informed by the core principles of empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard. I believe that people have an innate capacity for growth and, when provided with the right conditions, can develop autonomy over their own wellbeing.
Throughout my career, I have repeatedly observed the depth of curiosity children and young people bring to their understanding of themselves and the world around them. Growing up naturally prompts many questions — some rooted in personal experience and others shaped by reflection on wider social and global issues. In recent years, this has increasingly included children’s questions about the impact of the pandemic, global conflict, and the climate crisis, placing additional demands on parents, carers, and educators. I hold a fundamental belief that children need safe, supportive spaces in which to explore questions about identity, values, and the world they inhabit - free from judgement or shame.
My mindfulness work creates opportunities for children to explore curiosity, identity, self-worth, and a sense of purpose. My aim is to support positive mental health and wellbeing while embedding transferable skills that enable children to navigate life with resilience, empathy, and self-compassion.
All of my work is delivered through the lens of mindfulness, though this does not always take the form of traditional meditation. Mindfulness can also be playful and creative, offering opportunities for exploration through imaginative activity, reflective dialogue, and creative engagement.

Testimonials
I contacted Beth for support with my daughter’s anxieties. Beth was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, warm and very approachable. She made the sessions fun and interactive and my very reluctant daughter really engaged. Beth’s advice for us as parents was insightful and incredibly useful. We have used all of the resources and guidance she provided. Thank you so much.
