A practical workshop for teachers, SENCOs, teaching assistants, pastoral teams, and wider education professionals.
Schools are supporting increasing numbers of children with complex emotional and neurodevelopmental needs, making practical, evidence-informed training more important than ever.
​
Created by an experienced teacher and an accredited psychotherapist, these workshops combine educational expertise with clinical insight to help staff understand the emotional needs that lie beneath behaviour.
Together, we bring decades of experience across education and mental health, offering practical, neuro-affirming strategies that can be confidently applied within everyday school life.
​
Rather than focusing solely on behaviour management, our workshops explore nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, relationships and communication, equipping educators with compassionate, effective approaches that support both the young people they work with and their own wellbeing.
​
Whether you're looking to develop whole- school practice, strengthen your SEND provision or decrease staff burnout and increase staff confidence, this workshop can be tailered to suit the needs of your setting.

Jyoti Mistry
BSc PGCE
​
Hi, I'm Jyoti, an experienced and highly skilled primary educator driven by a simple but powerful belief that every child deserves an education that recognises their individuality, nurtures their strengths and enables them to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. ​
With a First Class Honours degree in Psychology, I bring a deep understanding of how children grow, learn and experience the world.
This expertise has shaped my 16 years as a classroom practitioner, middle leader and national consultant, during which I have placed personalised, inclusive and creative learning at the heart of my practice. ​
My work is underpinned by strong curriculum knowledge, a rigorous approach to identifying individual needs and the implementation of targeted, evidence- based strategies that create safe, engaging and aspirational learning environments. ​
I believe that pupils thrive when educators are confident and well- supported, and I have strengthened colleagues' practice through focused professional development in my leadership roles. ​
Beyond academic achievement, I champion opportunities that develop confident, compassionate and resilient young people, with safeguarding and the creation of classrooms in which every learner can flourish at the centre of everything I do.
