Looking beyond behaviour:  Helping children regulate stress, anxiety and overwhelm

Wednesday 21 October 2026 4-7pm | Online via Zoom

Why do some children lash out, withdraw, refuse, worry or become overwhelmed?

What if these behaviours aren’t simply problems to manage, but clues to the experiences a child has had and the support they need next?

Delivered by Sue Bell, OBE, Integrative Arts Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and Somatic Relational Psychotherapist, this is an engaging and practical workshop that explores how we can look beyond behaviour to better understand children’s stress, anxiety and overwhelm.

Who is this training for?

Designed for professionals, parent/carers and volunteers who want to build their understanding and support children and young people confidently.

What you'll learn

Drawing on nearly 30 years of clinical practice, together with attachment theory, developmental neuroscience and NeuroAffective Touch®, Sue will share a different way of understanding children’s behaviour through:

• real-life stories
• case studies
• experiential exercises
• and practical tools 

Whether you work with children professionally or are supporting them as a parent or carer, you will leave with greater confidence, a deeper understanding of behaviour and practical ideas you can begin using straight away.

Because perhaps the most important question isn’t:

“What’s wrong with this child?”

It’s:

“What experience might this child need next?”

This session is highly interactive, and we invite you to create a comfortable space, and have the following to hand:

• Paper and coloured pens/pencils
• Playdough or clay
• Pillows and blankets
