FREE RESOURCES – Video: Finding Clarity and Calm in Lockdown

1 min read

Join Kate Jackson for some practical hints and tips to help you deal with the domestic challenges posed by lockdowns and homeschooling

Are you a parent or carer who is struggling to find any clarity or calm during the latest pandemic lockdown? 

If so, don’t feel like you are alone. 

The latest lockdowns in the UK – and all over the world – have given parents a tremendous amount to deal with.

They are a test for relationships, they put pressure on those working from home and the challenges of keeping children learning and active is a big one.

Webinar

Join Wellbeing Therapy Solutions’ Kate Jackson for this webinar called ‘Finding Clarity and Calm During Lockdown’.

It is mainly aimed at parents, grandparents and carers who are supporting primary-school aged children.

It will focus on hints, tips, and support, helping viewers deal with the various challenges that are being thrown at them, including the issues of homeschooling.

So often it is our thinking around what is happening that causes the distress, rather than what is actually happening.

Notice your thoughts

One of the first things to start finding some calm and clarity, is to start noticing our thoughts.

Ask yourself: Are they helpful? Are they true?

If you can start noticing what you are feeling inside your body, it can be really helpful in realising how we are feeling.

Watch the video to learn more from Kate and put yourself in a better position to tackle the challenges that are being thrown at all of us during a pandemic.

Testimonials

Amber Mason

Working with Kate throughout this last academic year has been brilliant. From Secondary work to Primary transition work in our local schools across the Blaby District area has been really helpful, in depth and inspiring for our children and young people. Kate always ensures she creates thorough plans and presentations for the work we request and always presents with a smile and answers any questions the students may have. We have built a strong rapport with Kate as have members of staff from several schools across South Leicester and I would highly recommend her services as she is very good at what she does and very reliable!

Annie Rea

I attended one of Kate’s Mental Health First Aid courses online last month and I can say it was such a sensitive handling of tricky and often very personal subject matter. The environment felt safe and supportive and the small group size meant it felt manageable and not overwhelming. The course materials are really comprehensive and there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions and double or triple check if you are uncertain of anything ! Thank you Kate for making me feel so welcome and your support whilst we grappled with a sensitive topic.

Feedback from Kate’s Supervisee

Kate provides a calm, reflective place where I can make my own agenda and discuss the things that are important to me. With Kate’s support, I have grown my independent practice and built confidence as an Occupational Therapist. Kate is supportive, non-judgemental and makes me feel heard. I look forward to our monthly sessions, which hasn’t always been my experience with other supervisors.

Sarah Loates

We have worked with Kate at Wellbeing Therapy Solutions to deliver our MHFA First Aider Adult Programme.

Kate is super easy to work with, very professional and delivered the course to a high standard.

We hope to work with Kate and her team again in the future.

Overall experience was great. There were some sensitive subjects covered and Kate handled these tactfully. The sessions were extremely inclusive and Kate made everyone feel at ease.

Claire Pinchess

I have known Kate professionally for a number of years so feel confident when I say she is excellent at what she does. I recently contacted her about support for a friend whose child is struggling with anxiety and low self esteem. When I was asked if I knew of any suitable professional help I immediately thought of Kate and Wellbeing Therapy Solutions, without hesitation. I contacted her initially and she responded straight away. She couldn’t be more helpful and I would absolutely wholeheartedly recommend her and Wellbeing Therapy Solutions.

Rachael Dyer

Kate at Wellbeing Therapy Solutions has been an asset especially through the last year. She has offered not only essential guidance to support people struggling through the lockdown, but also support and workshops including mindfulness, anxiety, sleep and mental health. She delivers training for Mental Health First Aid, as well as offering Occupationally Therapy. I would whole heartedly encourage all to contact Kate at Wellbeing Therapy Solutions, for support and guidance to improve your mental health and wellbeing.

Feedback from Kate’s Supervisee

Finally after several years, I found individual supervision with a fantastic OT, it was (and still is) ‘gold dust’.

Clear agreements were laid out from the start, dates were set to meet and it has been independent of the employer. Kate understood the demands of the role, the context. She listened, without judgment, is human, gives real advice and is not just from a text book. That is who I want to be. She is flexible, she lets me set the agenda, pushes me gently to follow through on my many ideas. She really helps me to take time for myself.

That relationship has kept me sane, kept me from resigning , she has heard it all, seen my tears, shared the glimmers, the good stuff and talking to her I feel lighter, feel more confident, feel empowered. She really does embody my ideal supervision, someone I can talk OT with. And she cares.

I want to be an inspiring role model like Kate is to me.

Kate delivered a fantastic workshop to 10 schools in South Leicestershire. The students really enjoyed it and learnt lots.

I really enjoyed taking part in the course. It has helped me understand Mental Health in a lot more detail and be able to use the right knowledge and skills to help/ support anyone in need.
