Reflective Practice for Education Staff and School Teams

I work with primary and secondary schools to provide a reflective and reflexive space where education staff—across all roles and levels—can come together to explore the challenges and rewards of their work. Using systemic ideas, we focus on enhancing relationships with parents, children, and other professionals to foster a supportive and collaborative environment.

Supporting Schools and Education Professionals

With extensive experience in the Thames Valley region, including working alongside local authority social services, I support multi-disciplinary teams from social care, education, and health sectors. My work includes:

• Collaborating with commissioning teams to develop tailored therapeutic models for education and residential care settings

• Designing and implementing service evaluations and feedback processes

• Shaping organisational culture and values through systemic group functioning and development to ensure effective service delivery

• Navigating statutory frameworks and integrating outcome measures, particularly for teams with limited psychological awareness

• Facilitating team and group consultations focused on systemic formulations about children and families

• Developing strategies to create and sustain meaningful change over time

Expertise with Vulnerable Children and Looked After Populations

I have particular experience supporting teams working with children looked after (CLA), understanding their unique needs and the systemic factors affecting their wellbeing and development. This expertise helps educational professionals tailor their approach and collaborate effectively across agencies.

Why Reflective Practice Matters

Reflective practice helps school staff to pause and consider their emotional responses, relational patterns, and professional challenges. It encourages curiosity, reduces burnout, and strengthens teamwork, ultimately benefiting the children and families you work with. 

On-Site Support Tailored to Your School

I come to your school to work directly with your teams, offering flexibility and convenience while creating a safe, confidential space for reflection and learning.
