Shuna Beckett
I am a Sheffield-based Creative Well-being Practitioner with over twenty years experience of delivering needs-led one-to-one and group work with children and young people in both formal education and informal settings. My background is in drama and storytelling, but I work across a range of art forms to improve confidence and emotional well-being, and to help children reach their potential.
Who I work with
- Early years to young adult
- Mainstream, special and informal educational settings
- Foster agencies
- With any child or young person who is struggling emotionally, socially or academically. For example, children with:
– Emotional and behavioural difficulties
– Mental health issues
– Children at risk of exclusion
– Special educational needs
– Looked-after children
– Young carers
– Children affected by domestic abuse
– New arrivals, refugees and asylum-seeker children, or English as an Additional Language
– Children experiencing other life changes
What I do
- Voluntary, trauma-informed, inclusive and child-led one-to-one and (small or large) group workshops
- A mixture of stories, games, music, sand play, drama, puppetry, arts and crafts, and other bespoke activities, to explore feelings, process the past, improve confidence, self-esteem, communication, etc.
- Staff consultation and training
