Professional Reflection and Wellbeing Services
I help people, often educators, care for their own wellbeing, develop their emotional intelligence,
and find renewed joy in their work so that they can continue influencing their own lives, and the lives of others.
Services include wellbeing coaching and training, and professional reflection based on supervision practices.
Hello, I am Gillian Airey Goodwin - BEd (Hons), MSc Psychology, GMBPsS
I have over 30 years'
experience as an educator and I have a passion for empowering others to build resilience and emotional
understanding, develop perspectives and priorities, and to manage productively the
stresses and strains of a vital, exhausting and rewarding profession.
Testimonial - Helen Akrill SCITT Primary Manager
“Gillian's support has been invaluable and having time to reflect and evaluate has allowed
[our trainee teachers] to improve their approaches to their own mental health.”
In my career I have been a teacher, assistant and deputy headteacher, mentor, induction tutor, and
school initial teacher trainer.

The strategies I use to support wellbeing are based on emotional intellegence, positive thinking, cognitive behaviour theory and solution based focus.

it's tricky being human.”
