Who are we?

At Focusing Minds, we’re a team of passionate professionals offering expert, early entry support for mental health, wellbeing and education services to schools across all phases. We believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported and understood – and have the right tools and care to make that happen. We work in partnership with schools to ensure that students can be supported all year round, not just in their session time.

What we do…

We offer individualised, bespoke support for a range of everyday, early entry, mental health, wellbeing and personal development issues. Where universal strategies may not yield the desired outcomes, our expertise can help your students to make progress in the following areas:

Behaviour improvement and classroom engagement.

Anger, frustration and other emotional regulation concerns.

Anxiety: school or social.

Fears and worries.

Confidence: academic or personal.

Self-esteem and self-image.

Self awareness, self-understanding and reflective practices.

Friendship and bullying.

Soft skills development.

Personal development.

Through individual, personalised coaching and mentoring support.

Services to meet your specific student needs…

Although our person-centred approach underpins all we do, we understand that every school has its own demographics which make it unique – this requires an equally unique approach based on your specific requirements.

We have a standard way of working at Focusing Minds but, much like the services we deliver to young people, we create bespoke packages to deliver in a way that suits your school’s needs and budget.

More than just delivering in your setting…

When you agree to contract our services into your setting, you’re getting more than just high-quality, high-impact support that delivers consistently positive results for students. We offer a fully comprehensive service that focuses on positive student outcomes through more than just the time spent in sessions with students.

As part of our services, our support sessions with students is a standard, however we offer so much more and your daily rate also includes the following at no additional cost:

Daily briefing emails to alert key staff to work undertaken with students each day.

Comprehensive and detailed student profiles providing in-depth updates and student voice.

Safeguarding records, by email or directly on CPOMS, where students disclose concerns.

Round-robin implementation and collation to support the work we do with students.

Contributions to external referrals e.g. CAMHS for assessments, or EHCP processes.

Production of one-page profiles or Behaviour Support Profiles where necessary.

Unlimited email contact outside contracted time, responses often delivered within 24 hours.

Limited in-person, online or phone call contact outside contracted time.

Limited, direct communication with parents/carers where necessary.
