HOW I HELP CHILDREN FEEL CALM AND CONFIDENT

If your child struggles with anxiety, worry, or overwhelming emotions, you are not alone.

My books and resources are created to gently support children who:

  • feel anxious at bedtime
  • worry too much
  • struggle with big emotions like anger or fear
  • find it hard to make friends
  • need help building confidence

Each story is written from my counselling experience, helping children understand their feelings in a simple, calming, and reassuring way.

WRITTEN BY A COUNSELLOR WHO UNDERSTANDS CHILDREN’S EMOTIONS

With over 15 years’ experience as a qualified counsellor, I have supported many individuals and families through anxiety, emotional struggles, and life challenges.

My work with children and parents has shown me how important it is to help children understand their feelings early in life.

That’s why I created the Murphy series — to give children gentle, practical tools to feel calm, safe, and confident.

Alongside my books, I share simple, practical advice to help parents support their child’s emotional wellbeing.

Popular topics include:

  • how to help a child with anxiety
  • bedtime anxiety in kids
  • calming an anxious child in the moment
  • helping children manage big feelings

Helping children feel calm, confident, and understood – one gentle step at a time.
