Small steps toward improvement

Work closely with caregivers to identify specific areas where improvements can be made in your child's mental health journey. Through collaborative discussions and assessments, we aim to understand your child's unique needs and challenges comprehensively. This partnership allows us to tailor our coaching sessions and interventions effectively, ensuring they are aligned with your child's developmental stage and individual circumstances. By involving caregivers in this process, we can create a supportive environment that enhances the overall coaching experience and promotes lasting positive outcomes for your child's mental well-being.
Empower the child with a variety of strategies and practical tools designed to promote their mental well-being and resilience. These include cognitive-behavioral techniques to manage emotions, mindfulness exercises to foster awareness and calm, and creative activities to express feelings. Each session introduces new tools tailored to the child's needs, encouraging them to actively build a personalised toolkit for navigating challenges and nurturing their overall mental health.
Consistently monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of each strategy or "tool" in positively influencing the child's well-being throughout their mental health coaching. This ongoing assessment involves observing how well each approach addresses the child's specific needs and challenges. By regularly reviewing progress and adjusting strategies as necessary, we aim to optimize outcomes and support the child in developing sustainable coping skills and emotional resilience. This proactive approach ensures that the coaching journey remains responsive and beneficial to the child's overall mental health and growth.

What People Are Saying!

“Derrelle is a happier, calmer and more social child since we started our sessions with Jessica at Small Steps. He listens to his positive affirmations recording each morning and night before bed. He is starting to express his emotions with more confidence and uses his breathing exercise to reulate himself when he is overhwelemed. I can’t reccommend Jessicas sessions enough!”

— Kara, Mum of Derrelle (age 6)
“Christina is making new friends, settling much better in school, sleeping throughout the night and talks to us about her feelings and needs now”

— Olive, Carer of Christina (age 5)
“He (Muhammad) is a happier boy all round, he even has started to make his mum and I say what we are grateful for each day. His newest phrase is ‘be kind to yourself’, it’s really remarkable to see as before he started working with Jessica at Small Steps he had all these emotions bubbling up inside him, now he is letting them out in a manageable way”

— Yusuf, Dad of Muhammad (age 9)
