Max Purpose Psychology

@edpsy.bsky.social super excited for the festival of education. I’m ready and so proud to one of the sponsors . #epfest2025 #edpsychs

Totally recommend these workshops. Fantastic sessions and great value for money.
Get yourself booked now.

In group supervision this week, I’ve been asking people to share their hopes and or intentions are for the term. I’ve been encouraging everyone to talk to themselves as a compassionate friend.

My intentions are - go gently, be present & embrace nature & creativity. Yours?

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Still time to book your ticket.

For years, I told myself I wasn’t creative.
I couldn’t draw.
This summer, I decided to challenge that story. I signed up for online art classes, i loved them. 
The art I’ve created isn’t perfect, it’s a work in progress. Just like me. 
Did you try a new skill this summer?

A competition and a festival ticket. What’s not to love?

The line up for this festival is epic! Super excited to listen to Keri and other speakers. #edpsychs #epfest2025

Good morning, time for a brew with a view.

Time for a break, this is our view for the week. I’m ready to rest and recharge. #brewwithaview #selfcare

My family are dealing with some really tough health stuff at the moment. It’s totally out of our control. I’m focusing on noticing the small things that make me smile. Look at these beautiful flowers in my garden. #glimmers #gratitude

School’s out this week!
And to every EP reading this… take a deep breath. You made it! 🥳
Get those reports and admin done and enjoy summer. 🌞
This season is for slow mornings, fresh air, books with no purpose, and joy for its own sake.
💬 How are you planning to unwind this summer? #edpsychs

Glimmers are tiny, positive cues of safety or joy that our nervous system picks up - like sunlight through leaves, the sound of birdsong.
Spotting & savouring these moments helps us move out of survival mode & into a state of calm connection.
Have you noticed a glimmer today? #edpsychs

The majority of my work is supervision and coaching - I love it, it’s a privilege to do this work. One of my summer activities is to think about my own supervision needs. This podcast was helpful for me. #supervision open.spotify.com/episode/0eYl...

In group supervision we have been talking about people who have influenced or inspired our work.
Was it their values, strengths or actions?
Lots of smiles as we learnt about the people who inspired us!
Who inspires you?!
#edpsychs

Halfway through 2025 already. How did that happen?! July offers a natural pause point, a gentle space to reflect on how the year has unfolded so far.
What’s one meaningful professional moment that’s stayed with you?
Let’s honour progress in all its forms.

It was fantastic Kate. The place I did a placement has Relate, midwives, EPs, Barnardos etc. Some amazing things and multi disciplinary work.

As a trainee EP, I did a placement in one of the early Sure Start trailblazers in the North East. It was an amazing place to be. Such a shame they were discontinued. Early intervention is so important. #edpsychs

Thanks to everyone who attended today’s session. Great to connect with you all. We are so proud of the #PositiviTEA community we have created. Great to see so many regulars, new people.

Are you joining us for a sprinkle of #positiviTEA tomorrow? Looking forward to seeing all of you and connecting. @positivitea-eps.bsky.social @fionacoley.bsky.social

Supervision is a great space to celebrate what is going well and share successes.

I’ve often suggested that the children make a one page profile, a bit like EPs do when they are introducing themselves to young people. The news class teacher can also make one. It’s a good way of introduction. A video tour of a new school can also help. Top transition tips? @edpsy.bsky.social

As the school year ends, transitions can be tough for many young people.
What strategies do you suggest to support smooth transitions and emotional wellbeing over the summer? Pop them in the comments below & let’s build a toolkit together!

Top tip – Give yourself a random day off – I love to take myself to lunch and then to the theatre or cinema.

When did you last give yourself a day off?
How do you balance flexibility and self-care in your independent work?

#BeYourOwnBoss #EdPsychUK #SelfCare #edpsychs

It’s amazing, if you are ever up North I’d recommend it.
