What is Emotional Regulation?
Imagine your young person's emotions as a roller coaster. Sometimes, the ride is smooth and enjoyable, but other times it has steep drops and sharp turns that can be overwhelming. Emotional regulation is like having a set of controls that help's your young person to understand and manage this roller coaster ride.
About 20% of children do not develop these skills easily, and need extra help to regulate their emotions.
Our Emotional Regulation Programme is proven to foster healthy emotional - regulation using a body-body approach.
Our team has over 20 years experience supporting children and families across healthcare and educational settings. As a mom of two young, neurodiverse children herself, Lorraine delivers the programme in a fun, accessible way - with a mix of online live sessions and pre-recorded videos.
EPT Clinic's Emotional Regulation Programme can help children with:
- Overwhelm and upsets (e.g. meltdowns)
- Anxiety and demand avoidance
- School refusal
- Sensory processing difficulties
- ADHD
- Autism
- Family stress
Programme Content
This 10 week programme is carried out online so as to make it accesssible to busy families.

- A workbook with activities, visuals, and resources for your child along with x8 emotional regulation skills, and x8 parent handouts.
- Visual supports.
- Additional tailored support as you require it during the 10 weeks (e.g. 1-to-1 check in calls).
Is the Programme Evidence-Based? Trialled and Proven?
YES! The programme was evaluated during a research project with Trinity College Dublin in 2023. Results indicated that the ER programme provides parental relief, and it increases children’s confidence and their ability to regulate their emotions. Parents also reported an improvement in their child’s experience in school and with friends.
Parents were also found to present with improved understanding of their child, their relationship with their child, and their ability to manage difficulties.
We have also seen the results in the clinic, with over 100 children reporting positive results.
Who is it for?
Children between 5-18 years of age.
When can I start?
Enrol now for January 2025 start.
What makes our programme different?
Our programme is VERY different from other courses because it is interactive and tailored to your child's needs. It is one of the ONLY programmes that is both based on strong evidence, and has also been evaluated at university level.
