I want to share a little of my story so you know who I am and why Huge Little Minds exists.

I’ve spent over 14 years working in education, supporting young people through anxiety, overwhelm, behaviour challenges and school pressures. I also trained in therapy and life coaching, giving me a wide range of tools to support families. But even with all that experience… parenting was a whole new world.

Where Huge Little Minds Really Began
When one of my children was around three, they began struggling with anxiety — crying before nursery, panicking on the way, clinging at drop-off.
I tried everything: talking, reassurance, boundaries, rewards, gentle approaches… nothing created lasting change.

When similar struggles appeared again at school, I knew hoping it would pass wasn’t enough. I needed to properly understand what was going on underneath the behaviour and how to support them differently.

I combined what I knew from my work with further training and research, and gradually shaped a simple, child-friendly, realistic approach for everyday family life.

And things started to change — the anxiety eased, mornings became calmer, and life at home felt more manageable. Other parents began asking what we’d done, and when they tried the same approach, they saw positive changes too.

What started as a way to help my own child naturally grew into Huge Little Minds — a practical, compassionate way of helping families create real, lasting change.

I know what it feels like to worry about your child and to question whether you’re getting it right. I understand the frustration of trying so many strategies and seeing little change. And I know the relief that comes when you finally understand what your child needs and how to support them.

Huge Little Minds was created to offer that relief to other families — without judgement, pressure or jargon.
Just simple, realistic support that actually fits real family life.

 

I don’t offer generic advice or a one-size-fits-all plan. I take time to understand your child, your family and your goals — and we work from there.

 

My aim isn’t to hand you a list of instructions.
It’s to help you understand your child, feel more confident in your approach, and bring more calm and connection back into your family life.

You don’t have to work this out on your own.
I’m here to help you figure out what will make the biggest difference for your child — and for you.
