Mind in Motion

Understanding is the foundation of change

Supporting children, adults, and families through neurodiversity-affirming wellbeing programmes that integrate psychological understanding and movement-based strategies.

You can’t fix what isn’t broken.

Neurodiversity is not something to be corrected. While challenges exist, they can be better managed and understood rather than “fixed.”
At Mind in Motion, we create safe, supportive, and neurodiversity-affirming spaces where children, adults, and families can explore their challenges, develop insight, and practice practical strategies.
We are guided by the principle that understanding is the foundation of change.

The Mind in Motion Framework

Mind in Motion programmes and sessions are guided by three core pillars:

Understanding

Helping individuals make sense of their experiences, emotions, and behaviours, while developing insight into neurodiversity and nervous system responses.

Regulation

Developing practical strategies for managing emotions, stress, and nervous system responses, including movement-based regulation through Mind in Motion sessions.

Resilience

Building confidence, coping skills, and self-awareness to navigate challenges and transitions with greater independence and self-acceptance.

Who this support is for

Mind in Motion may be helpful for:

  • Neurodivergent children, young people, and adults
  • Individuals exploring the possibility of neurodiversity or those awaiting diagnosis
  • People experiencing emotional dysregulation, anxiety, or low mood
  • Parents seeking understanding and practical strategies to support their child
  • Families wanting a neurodiversity-affirming approach rather than a deficit-based one

What We Offer

Mind in Motion offers three levels of support, depending on individual needs and preferences: Mini Series, Programmes, and Individual Sessions.

SCOPE & ETHICAL PRACTICE

Mind in Motion provides psychoeducational and wellbeing support.

The service is not therapy, counselling, or a diagnostic service. Where appropriate, individuals may be signposted to specialist services.

All programmes follow safeguarding procedures and professional ethical frameworks.

Mini Series – Short, Focused Learning

Accessible programmes exploring specific themes related to wellbeing.

Anxiety Series

Supports understanding of anxiety and its impact on thoughts, emotions, and the body, while offering practical tools to manage anxious responses.

Low Mood & Depression Series

Mini Series are ideal for:

  • Individuals who prefer shorter sessions
  • Those exploring a specific challenge
  • People wanting an introduction to the Mind in Motion approach

Programmes – Structured Development

Structured programmes provide in-depth support to build understanding, regulation, and resilience over time.

Who I am

I graduated from the University of Strathclyde in 2019 with a BA (Hons) in Psychology. Since then, I have worked in a range of roles within the mental health sector while continuing to develop my academic knowledge through the completion of an MSc in Clinical Health Psychology.

Much of my professional experience has involved supporting children and young people. Through both my work and my own personal experiences, I understand the challenges many people face when trying to access the right support, guidance, and education around mental health. I am particularly passionate about supporting not only young people themselves, but also the parents, carers, and professionals who play such an important role in supporting them.

I have a particular interest in working with neurodiverse individuals and those who experience similar challenges. As a neurodiverse individual myself, I have explored different approaches to supporting both mental and physical wellbeing. Through my own journey, I discovered the powerful mind–body relationship within Classical Pilates, which I found incredibly beneficial.

This experience inspired me to train as a Comprehensive Classical Pilates Teacher. By combining my background in psychology with movement-based practice, I created Mind in Motion – an approach that aims to support wellbeing through a more integrated understanding of both mind and body, while also equipping those who support our young people with accessible knowledge and tools.
