"My child and I feel like a team"
“My child and I feel like a team, and we have been able to shift into a place of understanding my child’s lion – I feel that there is more space, curiosity and understanding. It’s not like the big feelings have suddenly stopped, but we are able to deal with the tough moments together, they are coming with less frequency and are less intense.”
Mum and 8-year-old son
"Helps a child understand their emotions"
“We loved the interactive nature of the programme. The child really benefited from understanding her emotions better. She learnt how to talk about her feelings. Staff were able to help her apply the techniques to tame these feelings that previously felt too scary to even think about.”

We want to make psychological therapies easily accessible and affordable for all families
We know psychological therapy can be expensive, difficult and sometimes unnecessary for busy families to access.
Taming Your Lion gives you 6 online self-paced sessions, our manual and parent guides. You can add on a consultation with a psychologist.
That is less than the price of one therapy sessions with a psychologist! The cost of 6 therapy sessions with a clinical psychologist is normally somewhere between £500-£720.
