The Wellbeing Matters Podcast with TP
As a Travelling Therapeutic Practitioner working with 5-18 year olds I impart advice which I would like to share in order to help families and children.
Ideally a podcast for parents and caregivers to listen to and there will be some episodes where children can listen along with their parents.

EBSA what I have learnt so far ….
In these episodes the host shares learnings from an EBSA (emotional-based school avoidance) training, exploring why some children avoid school—factors like lockdown, attachment, friendships, overwhelm, trauma and neurodivergence.
The episode highlights why asking “why” can create barriers, and instead focuses on practical coping strategies, building trust, and helping children find language for their feelings.
It also introduces compassion-focused ideas—the threat, drive and soothe systems—and offers guidance for parents and practitioners to support children back into a sense of safety and control.
