Schools

Workshops that help staff notice needs
beneath behaviour.

We deliver INSET staff workshops, classroom-based pupil workshops, and targeted group programmes for primary and secondary settings.

INSET staff workshops

Practical training for real classrooms.

From masking and attachment-informed needs to de-escalation and staff stress, we help teams build confident, consistent responses to distress.

School setting — staff training and workshops

Masking in the classroom

What masking can look like, why it happens, and how to respond with curiosity and safety.

Attachment-informed needs

Recognising different attachment patterns and needs in everyday school situations.

De-escalation & co-regulation

Language, body-based strategies, and predictable responses that reduce distress escalation.

Staff stress & nervous system support

Helping adults stay regulated so they can be emotionally available and consistent.

Pupil workshops

Skills-based sessions pupils can actually use.

Classroom-based workshops that build emotional language, coping tools, and help-seeking — with age-appropriate delivery for primary and secondary.
