Hello, I’m Steve

Lived experience shaped the way I support others

I’m a UK-based mental health support worker, author and the founder of Little Big Minds. My own experiences of anxiety, depression, family adversity and parenting a neurodivergent teenager have shown me how lonely it can feel when the usual answers do not fit.

I combine that lived understanding with training in children and young people’s mental health, autism, ADHD, bullying and cyberbullying. My approach is trauma-informed, practical and focused on emotional safety.

What matters here

• Looking beneath behaviour before judging it
• Listening when a child says they cannot cope
• Reducing shame for children and parents
• Offering realistic support rather than perfect solutions
