About meHi I'm Lainy. and firstly a warm welcome and good luck on your quest to find the right person .I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.I have dedicated the last two decades to researching and teaching emotional resilience. In this time I have developed a tried and tested powerful Emotional First Aid Kit.I  am the mental health spokesperson for BBC Radio Leicester and  have been  a registered member of the BACP since 2013 . I  have counselled and taught emotional resilience and mindfulness  classes  for the Leicestershire County Council, Relate and Leicester City Council to name a few. My intention is always to facilitate the appropriate level of healing,learning, empowerment and joy.I have helped hundreds of clients overcome stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse. Swapping emotional pain for healthy self esteem, empowerment and emotional resilience.I am currently working face to face (office , on a walk,home visit) and remotely, via zoom or telephone. In 2015 I wrote a children's' book called 'Emotional Poo Don't Let it Stick to You'.  As a result of this I worked with over 500 primary school children supported  by The Leicestershire Anti Bullying Team. I taught the children how to protect themselves from the emotional  damage of bullying , manage stress and prepare for their SATS.For almost a year I dragged around my 'eatapoopasaurus' 6 foot inflatable dinosaur that the children could feed their emotional poo to.Now I run a company called Lighter Minds (www.lighter-minds.com) that aims to put the smile back on people's faces. No dinosaur here :( Yet.
