Holistic Education Support

We See You -
There has been a noticeable increase in challenging behaviors within educational environments, which often detracts from the core focus of teaching, as you work to manage these ongoing distractions. There are rising concerns from parents and caregivers, along with a growing number of education refusals. Logistical difficulties in accommodating the range of different needs of children and young people, combined with escalating levels of anxiety and depression among both children, young people and staff, are becoming more prevalent.

We Hear You - 
The weight of these ongoing demands can undeniably affect your mental health and wellbeing. Balancing multiple roles can feel overwhelming, leaving little room or time to decompress and recharge. Many of your colleagues are experiencing burnout, with some even considering leaving the profession entirely. It’s likely that you, too, are feeling the impact of these challenges.

We Support You - 
Imagine shifting away from constantly “putting out spot fires” and rediscovering the joy in your role. What if you could reconnect with the sense of value and purpose your role brings? What if your contributions were truly recognized and appreciated, allowing you to experience renewed satisfaction and fulfilment in your work?

We Hold You - 
We provide a safe, supportive space where you can openly share and seek guidance from therapeutic specialists who offer practical insights, theoretical evidenced-based approaches, strategies and interventions. Managing a room filled with challenging behaviours while trying to teach can feel isolating; you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Each educator brings unique experiences, perspectives, and knowledge, enriching the learning environment. However, when challenges arise, a one-size-fits-all approach often fails to meet the diverse needs of individuals. At Lemon Drops Kids Therapy, we offer a personalised, relational approach that fosters safety, encourages vulnerability, and facilitates both personal and professional growth. This, in turn, strengthens the overall culture within the educational setting.

Our team works closely with your educational service to design and implement the tailored support you need, addressing the requirements of the service, educators, children and young people. We strive to be an integral part of your team, building a foundation of safety and trust within your educational environment.

Relationship is the strategy.
