Sometimes children are carrying much more than they know how to put into words.

They might tell you their tummy hurts before school, suddenly become nervous about something they once enjoyed, struggle to settle at bedtime or lose confidence in themselves. As parents, we can often sense that something is going on, even when our child can’t quite explain what that something is.

This is one of the reasons I was drawn to Bunny Talk™ and why I’m so pleased to be able to offer it as a trained Bunny Talk™ Trainer and Practitioner.

Bunny Talk™ gives children a gentle, age-appropriate way to explore feelings, worries and fears without expecting them to communicate like adults. We can work with imagination, language and therapeutic techniques in a way that feels natural and comfortable for the child, while helping them discover their own inner resources and build tools they can use outside the therapy room too.

For me, creating that feeling of safety and trust is so important. I want every child who comes to see me to feel listened to, understood and valued, with no pressure and no judgement.

My work with adults is different because, as we grow older, our experiences, beliefs and emotional patterns become more established. With adults, I use therapies including EFT and hypnotherapy to help explore those deeper patterns and support positive change at both an emotional and subconscious level.

Different ages need different approaches, but the heart of my work remains the same: creating a safe, supportive space where you can begin to reconnect with the strength and resources already within you.

I offer sessions from my Therapy Suite in Wicklow Town, with online sessions also available via Zoom.

If you would like to find out more about the Bunny Talk Process™ for your child, or about EFT and hypnotherapy for yourself, you are very welcome to send me a DM or vist my website to explore.

BOUNDARIES V’s MANUPILATION

🚨 STOP LOSING YOURSELF TRYING TO KEEP THE PEACE WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

Sometimes, protecting your emotional wellbeing means making a difficult decision:

You need to step away.

Not because you’re weak.
Not because you don’t care.
Not because you’re giving up.

But because constantly being around criticism, manipulation, negativity or emotional chaos can slowly change the way you see yourself.

OFTEN it is only when you take that step away and retreat into silence you can then see with clarity how manipulative and toxic that person is. No need to be hard on yourself about this. They can be masters at masking and gaslighting.

But sometimes, walking away simply isn’t possible.

They may be family.
A colleague.
Someone you co-parent with.
Someone who will continue to be part of your life.

So what can you do?

Protect your emotional space. 🛡️

Set boundaries.
Share less.
Choose your responses.
Stop explaining yourself to someone determined to misunderstand you.
Recognise what belongs to you — and what belongs to them.

Because you may not be able to control their behaviour…

…but you can learn to change your response to it.

🌿 Emotional wellness isn’t about never feeling affected.

It’s about becoming more aware of what you’re feeling, understanding why, learning how to regulate your emotions and developing the confidence to choose what is healthy for you.

You don’t have to carry someone else’s chaos.

You don’t have to absorb someone else’s negativity.

And you certainly don’t have to lose yourself trying to make someone else happy.

Your peace matters.
Your boundaries matter.
Your emotional wellbeing matters.
YOU matter. ❤️

If you’re at a point in your life where you know something needs to change but you’re not sure how to begin, Emotional Wellness Coaching can help you understand yourself, build emotional resilience and start making changes that support the life you want.

✨ Sometimes change begins with one simple decision:

“I’m choosing me.”

Back to School 🌿💛

As the summer holidays begin to wind down, the thought of going back to school can bring excitement for some children — but for others, it can bring a whole lot of worry.

For children experiencing school anxiety, overwhelm or school avoidance, the nervous system can sometimes go into fight, flight or freeze before they even walk through the school gates.

This is where supporting the whole child can make such a difference. 🌱

✨ Wellness Coaching can help children understand their emotions, recognise what their body is telling them and develop practical tools for managing worry, overwhelm and big feelings.

✨ Reiki can provide a calm, nurturing space to slow down, relax and support a sense of safety and emotional balance.

✨ Hypnotherapy can help children access their imagination and subconscious resources, developing more positive associations, confidence and coping responses around situations that feel difficult.

Together, these approaches can support nervous system regulation — helping children move from feeling constantly on alert towards feeling calmer, safer and more able to cope.

And an important part of this work is emotional intelligence. ❤️

Helping children understand:
• What am I feeling?
• Why might I be feeling this way?
• What is my body trying to tell me?
• What can I do when emotions feel too big?
• How can I respond rather than react?

These are skills that can support them not just with school, but throughout life.

🐰 The Bunny Talk Process is another wonderful tool I use to help children explore emotions in a way that feels natural, safe and accessible to them. Through stories, conversation and imagination, children can begin to understand their inner world and develop emotional awareness in a language that makes sense to them.

School avoidance isn’t always about not wanting to go to school. Sometimes it’s a nervous system saying, “This feels too much.”

Our job isn’t simply to make a child go.

It’s to help them feel safe enough, confident enough and equipped enough to take that next step. 🌈

If your child is feeling anxious about returning to school, now is a great time to start supporting them — before September arrives.
