Tuition, Mentoring, Counselling, Courses
At Nurture and Thrive, I support children, teens, parents, and adults to grow in confidence, purpose, and connection. Whether through bespoke language tuition, academic support, coaching, or workshops, every strand of my work is rooted in my counselling training and my understanding of cognitive function, relationships, and child development.
My approach blends practical guidance with emotional insight — helping learners feel grounded, capable, and motivated as they stretch toward new possibilities. Each session is designed to nurture the whole person, strengthening mindset, resilience, and self-belief alongside academic progress or personal development.
I also lead Time Out for Parents of Teens, a six-week course that helps parents reconnect, reduce conflict, and cultivate a calmer, more positive family life.
To see how this support has transformed others’ journeys, visit my Testimonials page — where past clients share the many ways they’ve grown and thrived.
Through Nurture and Thrive, my mission is to empower young people and the adults who care for them. When parents, carers, educators and students feel supported and understood, we gain the confidence to flourish — at home, at school and in life.
When we feel seen, heard, valued, and supported, our self-esteem grows. Self-doubt transforms into self-confidence, and our journey to fulfilling our true potential gains momentum. We start living more authentic, purposeful, happier lives.
💚 Nurture connection. Thrive together.
I have lived in Spain for a few years but I only had a very small understanding of the language and certainly no confidence to speak it. I was a bit overwhelmed when I first started learning, but Lorna put me at ease instantly and was able to pitch my lessons perfectly to my level. She is expert at structuring the lessons to my needs to increase my confidence and learning. Her teaching techniques are varied, so it remains interesting and she puts a huge amount of effort into sending me consolidation tasks each week which are tailored to me and remind me how far I come each lesson.
The one-to-one lessons have benefited me hugely. I am delighted with how much Spanish I am learning and I look forward to my lessons each week. My confidence in speaking and understanding the language has surprised me.
Lorna is very supportive and patient and cares about your progress. She is an amazing tutor and if you are looking to learn a language, I can't recommend her highly enough.
