Hello, I am Jenny Pink  and I am a mental health nurse specialist with extensive  experience working with young people and their families. 

I have worked in community CAMHS teams, hospital liaison services and as a consultant CAMHS nurse specialist for the Surrey Child and Family Service. I offer sessions to people of all ages but specialize in children. 

I am based in Farnham Surrey but can travel for individual appointments.

The Mindful Pink Elephant and I promise to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. I am a psychiatric nurse but also a mother of a child with ADHD. 

I will share with you my tried and tested techniques and be your support while you and your family become stronger. 

Mindfulness Sessions

I will support you and/or your child in building core skills to help managing their emotions and strengthen their emotional resilience. 

These sessions are based on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) techniques developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. 

This approach includes breathing exercises, mindful movement and stress management. If delivering to young people and children it would be an adapted, age appropriate program.

Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS).  

This approach is the non-punitive, trauma-informed model of care Dr. Greene introduced. 

The model is based on the premise that challenging behavior occurs when the expectations being placed on a child exceed the child's capacity to respond appropriately, and that some children are lacking the skills to handle certain demands and expectations. 

This interactive child/parent workshop is a fun way to introduce Mindfulness activities to your child.
Mindfulness techniques have been found to reduce stress, anxiety, low mood and encourage all over mental and physical well being.

I will share with you the basic ideas of Mindfulness and show you exercises you can do together at home. This will include belly breathing, mindful meditation/observation/eating/movement etc. You can apply Mindfulness techniques in most areas of your life. It’s about living in the moment!

This workshop will be a great opportunity for you and your child to spend 90 minutes practising Mindfulness together in a fun way that will encourage emotional thinking and bonding.
Price is: £ 25 per adult and £10 per child

Mindfulness is known to be effective in helping students achieve academic success in a variety of ways, and this benefit is not reserved for any specific group.

• Elementary students who practice mindfulness exhibit greater prosocial behaviors, emotion regulation, and academic performance (Harpin, Rossi, Kim, & Swanson, 2016).
• Teenagers studying for a general education certificate who participated in a mindfulness program experienced lower depression and anxiety, which contributed to improved academic attainment (Bennett & Dorjee, 2016).
