Walk in My Shoes
Why This Video Inspires Us
“Walk in My Shoes” offers a powerful reminder that every young person carries a unique story—often unseen and unheard. It challenges us to pause, reflect, and consider the lived experiences behind behaviours we might otherwise judge or overlook.
At Holistic Support, this video encapsulates the heart of our mission: to meet young people where they are, with empathy, patience, and understanding. It inspires us to listen more closely, to support more intentionally, and to create tailored pathways that honour the full context of each child's life..

Confidence and Self-Belief
Helping young people feel more in control of their thoughts, actions, and environment.
Neural Patterning
Activities are designed to improve the way the brain processes information—supporting readiness to learn, improved memory, and attention.
How It Works

Typically delivered over 6 to 12 weeks, with clear baseline assessments and tracked progress.
Flexible and Bespoke Delivery
Sessions can take place in school or at home, and are adapted to meet sensory, cognitive, and emotional needs.
