Boolka - Mindful Psychology
Hello
This club is dedicated to empowering parents of neurodiverse children.
We believe that all children are different and should be respected and celebrated.
​
We help individuals to become happier and more fulfilled, understand themselves and develop healthy habits through different practices.​​
​
We are advocates for SEN, neurodiversity, inclusion and diversity; we want people to stop using labels and to understand that the world is different, and we should embrace everyone's uniqueness; we want to remove the stigma and raise awareness.
​
There is no such thing as normal; what even is 'normal'?
Harvard Health Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.
Spend your time with people who make you see the world differently!
My Story
My expertise is based on my education and professional background, life experiences and being a mother. I have three bachelor's degrees, a master of science degree, and multiple professional diplomas in children's and educational psychology.
My main focus includes special education needs and neurodiversity.
I am a professional Child Psychologist keen to help neurodiverse children and their parents. I also work with adults with ADHD and am willing to help with self-acceptance and mindset, planning and procrastination. I will coach you through tough times towards success and happiness.
I am a member of nasen (National Association for Special Education Needs), member of a Practioner member of the Complimentary Medical Association in the UK and a member of the British Psychological Society. Right now, I am studying towards a Doctoral in Education Psychology and will soon be able to do even more for my clients.
When you stop learning, you stop growing, so I am trying to keep up with new psychology studies and enrolling in different professional courses worldwide to keep developing myself and staying up-to-date with new approaches and findings.
​
A bit of a backstory about myself: in 2013, I founded an educational centre for kids to study foreign languages using unique psycholinguistic methods. I managed the centre for another two years, and we opened a second office in a different city.
I lived in 5 different countries and worked in different cultures. Throughout my life, there were times when I was a single mum, a child of divorced parents, and a sexual assault survivor. I've had experience working with abused women and people with borderline disorders. I have an incredible autistic daughter who, like me, also has ADHD. This club was founded in her name for children like her and families like ours.
So I know that feeling when everything's slipping away, and you may not believe it, but I know how to survive, keep going, and stay happy no matter what. I know how to help you to take control of your life. I can help you to improve your life through mindset management and evidence-based techniques.
I learned to live with neurodiversity and use it as my superpower, and I want to share my knowledge and experiences to help you!
​
Something changed when my little "boolka" happened, and I wanted to develop even more in a field where I could help others. So, where I am now and who I became is all because of my daughter. The child will teach you more than you will ever teach them.
