If teaching has been feeling heavier than it should, you are not alone.
Many teachers carry far more pressure than anyone ever acknowledges. This space exists for those who feel stuck with classroom disruption, escalating behaviour, self‑judgement, or the constant emotional load of the job.You do not need to have the right words. You do not need to be sure this will help. You are simply welcome here.
I offer private Zoom conversations for teachers who want a calmer, kinder space to think about what may be shaping what is happening in their classroom.This is not training, classroom management, or performance coaching.It is a confidential, non-judgemental space to slow things down, reduce pressure, soften self-blame, and calm the inner critic that so often builds under sustained strain.The focus is not on giving techniques, but on offering a reframing and reorientation that helps classroom challenges feel more understandable, less personal, and less emotionally draining. Many teachers find that this shift alone reduces pressure and makes difficult moments in the classroom easier to navigate.
Much of what gets labelled as a behaviour problem is often better understood as a response to pressure, environment, nervous‑system load, and emotional overwhelm.When attention moves away from blame and toward understanding conditions, many teachers find that some of the weight lifts. They often leave feeling steadier, less alone, and less harsh on themselves.This work is not about fixing you or fixing students. It is about helping things feel more understandable and less personal.
Sessions last around 60 minutes on Zoom.You can bring whatever feels most difficult right now. That might be a specific classroom situation, a sense of burnout, or simply the feeling that things have become too heavy.My role is not to judge, evaluate, or tell you what to do. It is to listen carefully, help you reflect, and gently explore what pressure, context, and conditions may be shaping what you are seeing.There is no obligation to book more than one conversation.
There is no expectation to commit beyond a single conversation.
