Mental Health Awareness week. It is not always those who shout the loudest who are suffering the most. Please please talk to someone if you are struggling. Miss you so much Leo 💙
World Mental Health Day. Suicidal doesn’t always look suicidal.
I miss you more than words can ever describe. 🌻💙🌻
#WorldMentalHealthDay2024 #suicideawareness #grief
A brilliant day at Houlton School, working with Year 7s on resilience, confidence & positive mindset!
If you are a parent or work in a school, message me to find out more about our bespoke 1:1 sessions or group workshops to help your students improve their confidence & mindset.
And the intrepid travellers are home! (They very much appreciated the banner at arrivals too! 😂) #Europe #interrailing #travel
So here it is in black & white! After 27 years in the classroom, that’s a wrap! Losing Leo changed my perspective on life & it’s time for a new direction with Bright Futures Coaching, supporting teens with exam anxiety & low self-esteem. Get in touch if you’d like to work with me
As a linguist I’ve always found the development of language absolutely fascinating. The fact that so much new vocabulary comes from teenagers is one of the reasons I enjoy working with this age group. abc.net.au/news/2024-08-04/t…
Photo memories from 10 yrs ago when life was still full of hopes & dreams. Leo was fascinated by the fire drill going on at the side of the lake. Such innocence and joy. We had no idea what the future held & how our lives would be completely ripped apart just 10 years later. 💔
Being bereaved by suicide carries with it so many emotions, but also elements of stigma and judgement from others. Please take time to read this to see how you can support those of us bereaved by suicide.
Suicide affects all of us. But the stigma surrounding it can cause those affected to become isolated and feel hopeless.
'Finding the words' is a guide to reaching out to someone bereaved by suicide. Written with @UCLMentalHealth, it's free to download.

Really feeling this today. Leo’s friends are finishing uni & he’s not. And he never will. The reality of this has hit me hard #childloss #grief
There are so many sides to grief - some more obvious than others. Exam season means work has been really busy & I am exhausted, but it feels like more than the usual ‘teacher tired’ & there have been lots of tears. #grief #childloss #suicideawareness
My partner, Mark has put together this album on his record label to raise money for Young Minds & The Samaritans in Leo’s memory. 💙 All costs covered so 100% of the price (minus p&p) goes to the charities.
