About Sinead

I'm a mum first, to two daughters and to Ozzy, our Cocker Spaniel who keeps family life very busy.

Why I do this work

After years in broadcasting, becoming a parent changed my priorities. I saw how complex childhood can be the big feelings, the worries, and the struggles children cannot always put into words. I wanted meaningful work that fitted family life and genuinely helped.

Training and experience

I trained as a Relax Kids coach in 2016, when school wellbeing programmes were still new in Northern Ireland. Since then especially after the pandemic structured, preventative emotional support has become more important than ever. My husband works as a hypnotherapist, so conversations about mental health and resilience have always been part of our home.

When your child is struggling, calm professional support from outside your immediate circle can help the whole family, not only your child.

What families can expect

I understand how overwhelming it can feel when you are unsure how best to help. Sessions are practical, warm, and age-appropriate never therapy, always focused on tools children can use in everyday life.

Families often return with younger siblings or recommend sessions through word of mouth. That trust means a great deal, and it is something I never take for granted.

My aim is simple: to give children, families, and schools strategies that build calm, confidence, and resilience in a way that feels safe, supportive, and achievable.
