Emotionally Healthy Minds (EHM) is a Chelmsford-based organisation dedicated to nurturing emotional wellbeing and resilience alongside academic success in children and young people. Founded in 2022 by qualified teacher and Emotion Coach Sarah Petherick, EHM brings together a team of passionate educators who provide compassionate, tailored support designed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they work with.

At its core, Emotionally Healthy Minds believes that emotional health and academic achievement are deeply connected. The organisation offers both Emotion Coaching and Bespoke Tutoring to help children understand, regulate and express their emotions in healthy ways while also addressing learning needs. Sessions are adapted to the unique strengths and challenges of the child, promoting confidence, self-awareness and a genuine love of learning. 

Beyond direct support for young people, EHM empowers parents through consultations that offer practical tools, insight and encouragement for navigating emotional and behavioural challenges at home.  They also work with schools, educators and organisations through specialised training and consultancy, helping build emotionally intelligent cultures where students and staff alike can thrive. 

Rooted in ethical practice and meaningful connection, Emotionally Healthy Minds aims to create safe, supportive environments where every child feels seen, valued and capable of reaching their full potential – emotionally, socially and academically.
