I'm excited to be joining Bridgewater School as their Educational Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP)!

I work with the Dacorum Mental Health Support Team (MHST), a school-based service that promotes children’s wellbeing through mental health support. My role involves delivering 1:1 guided self-help interventions for parents and facilitating group sessions for children within the school.

For parents, we offer interventions such as Helping Your Child with Fears and Worries and Promoting Positive Behaviour in Children. For children, I lead group sessions on managing emotions, coping with anxiety, building friendships, and fostering resilience.

Before this role, I spent four years as a primary school teacher, gaining valuable experience supporting children from diverse backgrounds. I’m deeply passionate about children’s mental health and enjoy working closely with parents to provide holistic support.
