Emotion Coaching

Do you have pupils with an EHC plan that outlines the use of Emotion Coaching
within their provision?

Are you looking for a simple and consistent yet evidence-based emotional
regulation intervention that all staff can use in response to a child’s escalating
emotions and doesn’t require additional staffing for children to be withdrawn for
targeted intervention?

Emotion Coaching is an evidence-based approach focussed on supporting children and
young people to understand the emotions they experience, why they occur, and how to
handle and manage them. This structured, four-step technique draws upon principles of
neuropsychology and nurture and takes a relational approach to considering children and
young people’s behaviour and the emotions that underly it. This approach can be used ‘in
the moment’ as part of everyday practice and interactions with young people during the
school day, with targeted pupils or as a whole-school approach, and can complement
existing emotional resilience interventions and ELSA support being carried out in school.
In this one-day training you will be trained to deliver Emotion Coaching in your setting. Your
place also includes access to a virtual follow up session included in the price to support the
implementation of Emotion Coaching and provide opportunities for follow up questions and
advice. This training is targeted at SENCOs/SLT who are hoping to introduce Emotion
Coaching in school by disseminating information gained in this training OR members of
school staff working directly with pupils who may benefit from this approach.
