It's lovely to welcome you to my website, thank you for finding your way here.
My name is Lulu and I am an education advisor and trainer in primary schools specialising in Social and Emotional Learning. I also work as a counsellor supporting families, individuals, couples, parents, adolescents and children.
As a mother of three adult children, I bring both personal experience and professional expertise to the role of counsellor and guide.
Having worked in primary school education for over 35 years I stepped out of the classroom 9 years ago to focus on supporting the emotional wellbeing of young people and their families. As a teacher the emotional wellbeing of the children in my care has always been at the heart of everything I do, this took me to The Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence to learn to use The RULER Approach.
“Emotions drive learning, decision making, creativity, relationships and health.” Yale Center of Emotional Intelligence.
My work now takes a two-pronged approach to improve the mental health and emotional resilience of young people and their families through education and counselling.
