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 initially sought extra tuition for my daughter as she had missed a number of Spanish lessons at the start of the GCSE course due to illness. Her one to one lessons with Lorna enabled her to catch up extremely quickly, in fact, faster than I expected. My daughter had further sessions for revision and these were invaluable as they focussed on her individual needs and Lorna taught her some very good revision techniques.
The lessons were always productive as they were individual and Lorna's teaching style was encouraging and engaging, my daughter felt relaxed having the lessons but was motivated and wanted to succeed.
My daughter felt that Lorna helped her to extend her range of vocabulary and to improve her Spanish accent, which gave her greater confidence for assessments and exams. Lorna also gave advice and instruction on some useful Internet sites and audio tools for use at home.
I would certainly recommend Lorna as a teacher and the cost of the lessons was most certainly money well spent. Despite my daughter continuing to have some health problems and absence from school, she completed her Spanish GCSE very successfully and achieved an A grade.
