An evidence-based online group coaching programme with weekly positive psychology interventions and support from a child therapist.
My job is to teach your children how to become mentally fit.

You worry that your child will not be able to cope with life because they constantly stress about others' opinions of them
Your child is driving you mad with negative self-talk and thinking they’re not good enough.
You think, if they’re like this now, what will they be like when they’re older and have to cope with much bigger challenges?
Imagine if...
Imagine if your child could enroll on a program that would make them mentally stronger, more resilient and brave enough to try new challenges
Imagine if your child could walk into a room and feel calm and assertive enough to deal with peer conflicts and petty dramas.
Imagine if you could wake up and know that your child has learnt mental wellbeing habits that will last a lifetime and increase their confidence and happiness.
Imagine if Your child could simply login to a device and read, listen, watch or do something everyday to increase their mental wellbeing.

The TRUTH is...
The truth is, you can overcome these feelings of panic and guilt and know that your child is happy and confident. This is normal behaviour and you don't have to figure out everything on your own. Your child is going to learn psychology strategies used by top athletes, the best coaches and child therapists to increase their mental strength and they will realise that there are ways to calm the body down and decrease the stress they are feeling.
"Claire coaches my daughter who plays competitive tennis. They've worked on relaxation techniques, self believe, setting goals etc...and all these have greatly helped improve her game. As a parent, I've also benefited a lot from sitting in and being part of the class. I've learned different ways of supporting my daughter in stressful situations and I too use these techniques when I get stressed."
You Are Tired Of/Sick Of:
- οYour child feels like they’re losing control of their mind and stress is taking over
- οYour child’s need for constant approval, praise and external validation
- οYour child always feel scared, anxious and inadequate
- ο Your child doesn’t want to go to school, fusses over new experiences and is often involved in unnecessary peer conflicts
- οYour child worries so much they get headaches, stomach upsets and have trouble getting to sleep
IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
I HAVE WITNESSED
I've had clients coming to me whose families have been disrupted by a child's behaviour.
It affects the whole family when emotions get out of control.
Children who were refusing to go to school, let alone play dates or sleepovers.
Children who have used anger as a tool for getting what they want (passive or aggressive) instead of learning assertive communication strategies.
Children who seem to bounce from one peer conflict drama to the next suddenly see the bigger picture and are able to remove themselves from unhealthy relationships
Children who have measured their worth by other people's comments, criticisms or praise suddenly realise that they're own self-worth comes from the inside and stop looking for external validation.
Children who were teased by siblings for nor being brave enough to try new experiences suddenly find their feet and take-off.
Children who get so nervous before exams, tests, music recitals, class assemblies, residential trips, their parents being away from them learn how to observe their thoughts without judgement and simply experience the feelings, then let those feelings dissipate.
Children who were angry with the world - in victim mode and blaming others for their unhappiness start stepping up and taking responsibility for their own happiness.
Children who thought there was no other option but to suffer start using breathing techniques, mindfulness, meditation, journaling to organise their thoughts and look for other options.
You Will Learn:
The best breathing method to stop the stress response - this method is used by professional athletes before competitions to control nerves and maximise performance.
The coaching questions and techniques all the top business coaches are using with CEOs to increase logical thinking and develop people skills
How to maintain great mental wellness and recognise how our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviour. Most importantly, that other people’s opinions do not measure or validate our self-worth.
Child-friendly life-changing affirmations, meditation strategies, mindfulness techniques and the most current research in applied positive psychology theories.
"In my experience as both a personal trainer and an athlete, mindset and confidence are two vital components for success within so many situations. Claire has such a warm and friendly nature and highly professional attitude and I would fully recommend this programme."

Members’ Community
The children will be invited to a secure and safe members’ area, monitored daily by me. They can ask questions and share examples of their work.
During the pilot study of this course – all participants expressed their need to liaise with other students and have a virtual ‘circle time/forum’ to discuss their challenges and successes.
I’ve observed during my group coaching that great work has been achieved when young people are able to share their experiences.

Hi! I'm an applied positive psychologist and I specialise in helping young children to manage emotions, deal with anxiety and increase self-esteem.
I started working with children with anxiety because I experienced it myself. I know exactly what your child is going through because I suffered so unnecessarily when I was younger because I didn't know who to ask for help. I didn't understand how my mind worked or the science behind the stress response. I was like a crazy person - It got so bad because I didnβt learn ways to manage it when I was at school. I was always worried about what people thought of me and terrified of failure. I couldnβt understand how some children in the class put their hands up when they didnβt know the answer. This would have been my worst nightmare. When I was a teenager my panic started to spiral out of control and then got worse and worse when I went to university. I would only sit at the back of my lecture halls, I had a panic attack in my finals and had to be escorted out of the exam.
I know what it's like to feel fear grip your body and adrenaline send you twitching, blinking and wanting to run. I understand the daily grapple with ridiculous thoughts - telling yourself youβre fine and relaxed but feeling the panic taking over.I know I've stopped myself doing things in the past out of fear - and I don't want that to happen to your child.
There is science to why our bodies react the way they do and I want to teach you all about it so you understand your mind and how it works to protect you from danger. It just gets a little confused sometimes and makes you react when you could respond and crazy and chaotic when you could be calm. Don't wait until you're an adult to fix these issues - learn them while you're young so you can go and enjoy life without worrying about what other people think of you or how silly you look.
It's not worth the stress - really, there are another options. You have choices. Be able to walk into any room being proud of who you are and know that instead of being out of control with emotions, you can find solutions using the logical side of your brain.
It really is that easy - like anything else you want to get better at or stronger in - you just have to practise.
"A positive mindset is imperative for children to be happy and to reach their full potential. Children today are facing unprecedented pressures and challenges in an ever-changing world. I truly believe in providing opportunities to cope with anxiety, stress and to promote greater well-being.
Having spent time discussing the mindfulness programme with Claire, I know she has the passion and skills to support and to make a difference. As an Executive Headteacher of two primary schools, I am working with Claire to promote resilience and self-confidence in my schools. The support Claire provides is invaluable and I fully recommend the Positive Mindfulness programme offered by Pivotal Mind." ---- Mr Wayne Jones | Executive Headteacher

Frequently Asked Questions
They will learn to take responsibility for their own mental wellbeing and happiness by using evidence-based positive psychology interventions. They will understand different types of anger and how to assertively communicate their ideas. They will recognise the difference between a victim and survivor mindset and investigate the negative self-talk that keeps them from growing and experiencing new things. They will learn how to meditate and how to use mindfulness to stay grounded in the present – this will stop them dwelling on past mistakes and worrying about the future.
You will hopefully notice a difference in their awareness of taking responsibility for their own mental wellbeing after the first week. Deeper mindset shifts will occur as they work through the weekly interventions. Remember, that mental wellbeing is a lifelong journey and if this programme is able to set the seed for developing positive daily habits to increase wellbeing, then I have done my job! The rest is up to each individual to take action to safeguard their mental wellness everyday for the rest of their life.
A reduction in anxiety-related behaviour and techniques to manage and understand anger. One area that children love leaning about (definite lightbulb moments) is what happens if they bottle up anger. Passive anger can have just as much detrimental effect as aggressive anger. Therefore, I get them to investigate their own methods of using or storing anger and how to convert that into useful phrases to voice their opinions in an assertive way.
It’s mostly designed around the scientific and evidence-based theories of Applied Positive Psychology – this is my main area of research. However, there are some NLP skills in there and a couple of CBT principles: e.g thought-emotion-behaviour patterns.
Yes, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to talk to me via the closed Facebook group. I’ve also got some printables for you to stick on your wall to monitor and action your progress.
Initially, you’ll have to print out the workbooks and watch the videos. I’d recommend setting aside an hour for this once per week. Each video is 2 minutes long. During the rest of the week, I’d expect your child to be committing 20minutes per day after this to complete their weekly interventions. These interventions will then hopefully become lifelong habits.
Younger children will need guidance by an adult. Young people 11+ will be able to work independently – as long as they communicate to me via the members’ community.
The truth is, you CAN overcome these feelings of panic/guilt that your child is happy and confident/ is this normal behaviour.
You don't have to don't have to figure out everything on your own. Understand that mental health needs to be worked on daily - just like brushing teeth, washing and exercising is for physical health
Recognise how our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviour
Believe that you are the captain of your mind and you control where it goes and what it thinks.
