Founder of Stockport Mental Health Charity included in ‘Inspirational Women, Inspirational Lives’

The Founder of Stockport’s TPC Therapy, Shahana Knight, has been listed in a book written to celebrate women who are great achievers.

Inspirational Women, Inspirational Lives written by Tracey McAtamney, features the stories of the 58 finalists in the 2020 Ladies First Network Awards, which took place in aid of The Katie Piper Foundation, reported here.

TPC Therapy is a Mental Health and Wellbeing Service founded by Shahana. Since 2012 their Play Therapists have been supporting children all over the UK with both complex and lower-level needs, from children who have experienced homicide to children with low confidence. TPC believe no child should be defined by their trauma and all children should be able to express, explore and understand their experiences, feelings and emotions. Their mission is to help children realise they are not their trauma.

Shahana publishes The Therapeutic Teacher podcasts, a regular series of podcasts to talk about all things related to wellbeing and mental health in schools. The podcasts are full of innovative ideas, inspirational stories, practical guidance and even some freebies, to help re-define what school should be for the children of today.

Taken from the TPC Therapy website, Shahana says:

“In these episodes, I will take you on a journey where we will recreate the concept of school, classrooms, and even the role of being a teacher itself. I will be sharing personal stories and examples along the way, offering new ideas and giving you the tools to implement them. I will challenge perceptions, think outside the box, and leave you feeling inspired and excited to make a change! I will also be focusing on you! What do you need to do to take care of your own mental health and wellbeing? How can you show up to work every day with clarity, motivation and a sense of purpose? We will dive into all of that too!
You have SO much power to make some real changes, let me show you how!”
