Susie has many years of experience working with children deemed to be 'at risk' of social or academic exclusion. She has supported them, and their families to repair relationships at home, and at school with the aim that they would come to, remain in and ultimately enjoy school life. Susie is passionate about empowering children and young families to do the very best that they can, and so thrive.

This year Susie released her Happy Days Diary; an emotional wellbeing journal for kids to help identify emotions, triggers and build a tool kit to aid regulation. You can find out more and get copies for your children here.
