ABOUT ME

Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I am the founder and facilitator of Small Steps. My commitment to starting Small Steps arose from my firsthand observation of the critical need for children to develop essential tools for their mental growth. With four years of experience as a primary school teacher in Newham, working with children aged 4 to 9, I witnessed the profound challenges they face due to the influences of social media, global events like war and COVID-19, and economic pressures.

My credentials include:

• Postgraduate PGCE in Education

• BSc in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Developmental Psychology (dissertation available upon request)

• Four years of dedicated experience in primary education within Newham

• Certified Mindfulness Club Facilitator

• MindUp Certification in Breath Work, Trauma-Sensitive Practices, and Self-Care and Wellbeing
