Emotional Wellbeing Support
A Little Support for Life's Big Feelings
Growing up brings all sorts of emotions, and sometimes children need a little extra support to understand and navigate them. Thoughtfully created audio stories can offer a gentle, imaginative way to explore these experiences — without pressure or expectation.
Anxiety and worries
Gentle stories that help children meet worried thoughts with breath, imagination and a little calm.
Building confidence and self-belief
Stories that quietly nurture a child's sense of their own worth, courage and growing voice.
Friendships and relationships
Stories exploring kindness, belonging and the ups and downs of connecting with others.
Change and new experiences
Stories that offer reassurance and steadiness through transitions, new beginnings and the unknown.
Loss and difficult feelings
Tender stories that gently make space for sadness, memory and the feelings that are hard to hold.
Blooming Minds stories are supportive wellbeing resources — a gentle complement to everyday care, never a replacement for professional support.

Meet Polly
Hello, I'm Polly!
Behind every Blooming Minds story is a deep understanding of the little people who listen to them.
I'm Paula Crowhurst, professionally known as Polly Bloom. I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist, IEMT Practitioner and experienced coach, and I previously spent ten years working as a primary school Learning Mentor, supporting children's emotional, social and behavioural wellbeing.
With a therapeutic background and a decade of experience alongside children, I bring care, understanding and thoughtful storytelling to the emotional experiences children navigate every day. I created Blooming Minds to bring together my experience of supporting children with my therapeutic knowledge, creating gentle, accessible resources that families can enjoy in the comfort of their own homes.
My hope is that every child who listens discovers a little more confidence, calm and belief in themselves.
