We are a group of therapists who are also parents and we want to let parents and children know at your school that there is help for families locally.

We can help:

• Teach communication skills.
• Give parents and children the opportunity to discuss their worries.
• Bring families closer together.
• Discover what is causing bad behaviour and attitude.
• Discover what is causing shyness and social phobias.
• Improve concentration resulting in better school work.
• Teach organisation skills to help with work load and motivation.
• Find new confidence and self-esteem.
• Find new goals and interests.
• Increase self awareness.
• Hold group meetings for students designed to help with stress.
• Parent group discussion - tea and coffee mornings.
• One to one counselling for children or adults daytime, evenings and weekends.

We have an office and meeting rooms in the University Gateway Building in Southend-on-Sea just off the High Street shopping area where we can offer to accommodate people, alternatively we can travel to the school if such arrangements are more convenient.

Our after class ‘De-stress and Wellbeing group’ for the children is very successful. The kids help and support each other and offer solutions to problems and dilemmas. Once a child knows their situation is normal, worries and stress start to diminish.

If any parents or children are interested in one-to-one or group sessions, please contact Sam at ‘Therapy for Life’ and tell us what you need.

One example of the sessions we offer is:

The after school ‘De-stress and Wellbeing group’ for kids at £5 each for 50 minutes. Especially good around exam time. Knowing how caring parents can be and how helpless they can feel with their own children, this is a solution that relieves so many worries for the whole family.

It can be held at the school or our offices in Southend

Parents pay upfront for 5 sessions at £25 (occurring once per week) for their child to attend. If a child misses a session, it’s no problem, the money carries over to pay for next week. It'll be the best £25 you've ever spent...  to see the difference in your child is magical.

If you are a parent or a teacher, we would be grateful if you sent this out to the parents/carers and teachers at your school to encourage the school to promote it. Your participation will show an immense amount of thought and care towards the parent’s and pupil’s and overall sense of wellbeing at the school you or your children attend.
