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.
At school I was in a big, mixed ability class and although I really enjoyed French I was finding it really hard to learn anything. My predicted grade was below a C at GCSE and it was very frustrating so my mum suggested I get some extra help. Lorna was amazing. She really got to know my learning style and tailored the lessons accordingly.
My listening was what I found hardest and so Lorna helped my technique for pulling out key words. Conversationally I felt really confident just chatting in my oral exam because I was so used to chatting with Lorna in French.
The lessons were really varied so I didn't get bored. I have always been really easily distracted, but I didn't find this a problem because it was varied and quick paced.
Overall my French improved massively which my teacher noticed. I was over the moon when I got a B for GCSE and could never have achieved it without the extra help.
