Just be you
"Embrace Your Uniqueness"
The Just Be You project is a creative intervention and it holds a deeply personal place in my heart. Having undiagnosed ADHD/ADD my journey began with a misunderstood childhood
in the face of these challenges, I carried on with unwavering determination. I refused to let these misconceptions define who I was, later gaining a Degree in Ceramics.
It was during these moments of struggle that the idea for the Just Be You project was born, a project fuelled by my own experiences of being underestimated and undervalued.
I wanted to create a space where everyone, regardless of their unique challenges or differences, could find acceptance, understanding and support. Just Be You is a celebration of individuality, a place where we can embrace our quirks without fear of judgement.
My own journey has taught me that being different doesn't equate to being inferior. In fact, our differences are what make us beautifully unique. It's my hope that through this project we can empower one another, share our stories and uplift those who have felt marginalized or misunderstood.
Just Be You is more than just a project, it is a testament to the power of resilience and self-acceptance. It is a reminder that we are all capable of achieving greatness, regardless of the challenges we face.
Thank you for joining me on this meaningful journey. Together, we can inspire change and create a world where everyone is encouraged to simply be themselves.

Discover the Power of Classroom Interventions with Clay: Nurturing Relaxation and Open Conversations
At Just be you, we believe in the transformative potential of creative interventions in the classroom. Our innovative approach utilises clay as the primary medium to foster a nurturing environment where children can unwind and engage in meaningful conversations.
Why Clay?
Clay, with its tactile and malleable nature, has an incredible ability to soothe and captivate young minds. As children immerse their hands in the soft, pliable material, they unlock a world of sensory exploration that often acts as a powerful stress-reliever. It's a medium that encourages them to channel their emotions, feelings and thoughts into something tangible, transcending the limitations of words alone.
Creating a Safe Space
In the hustle and bustle of the classroom, it is essential to provide children with a safe space where they can freely express themselves. Our clay-based interventions create precisely that atmosphere, a sanctuary where students can relax, let their guard down and simply be themselves. The act of shaping the clay often opens doors to conversations that might have otherwise remained closed.
Unleashing Creativity
The beauty of clay lies in its versatility. Through our interventions, we encourage children to unleash their creativity and imagination. This process not only promotes relaxation but also enhances problem-solving skills and self-esteem. As they mould the clay into various forms, they're also shaping their confidence and self-expression.
A Catalyst for Communication
Engaging with clay naturally encourages interaction. Students can share their thoughts about their creations, their day, or anything that might be on their minds. It serves as a bridge that facilitates communication in a non-threatening, non-judgmental way. By providing a comfortable space for self-expression, we foster connections that enrich both social skills and emotional intelligence.
