You know your child better than anyone.
...and you understand that gaining insight into how their unique brain-body combination works is the key to supporting them in the best way possible. But you’re also exhausted from tiptoeing around emotional triggers, constantly anticipating the next upset. You might be feeling like..
- You want a peaceful, balanced family life.
But right now your home feels full of emotional challenges that are difficult to manage.
- You wish your child could go to school and come home with a smile.Â
But each morning feels like a struggle to get them out the door—they say they hate school, and by the end of the day, they come home overwhelmed.
- You want them to feel included and have friends...
Yet you worry they don’t feel accepted by their peers or able to truly be themselves.Â
- You dream of a day when your child can freely enjoy the activities they love and eagerly try new things.
But right now, it often feels like they resist listening, hesitate to explore, and shy away from what others find easy.
You're the kind of parent who:
- Takes the time to truly understand your child and advocate for their unique needs.
- Prioritizes learning new skills to respond effectively and create positive change.
- Puts your child’s needs at the forefront, committed to nurturing their happiness and well-being.
And you're here because you want your child to:
Embrace Their Authentic Self
To freely express who they are, socialise, and engage in meaningful ways to them, while also cherishing their own company to create opportunities for self-regulation.
Be More Engaged in Learning
To thrive in a learning environment that sparks their curiosity and invites their participation in a meaningful way, experiencing the true joy that comes from discovery.
Feel a Part of The Family
To intentionally connect with family members, contribute to daily routines, and participate in family life—all while minimizing meltdowns and fostering harmony at home.
At the EPT Clinic, we understand the complexities of emotional regulation in children.
Our founder, Lorraine Madden, is an award-winning chartered child educational psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting families.Â
Her personal journey as a mother in a neurodiverse family drives her passion for this programme. We provide evidence-based, tailored strategies that empower both children and parents, making this the best choice for fostering emotional well-being in your family.
Build An Emotional Umbrella With Your Child
...and learn how to stay dry during life's emotional downpours. Work with our multi-disciplinary team to navigate stormy emotions in 10 weeks.

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. Â
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

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.Â
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.Â
When can I start?
Enrol now for January 2025 start.Â
What makes our programme different?
Â
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.
Professional Opinions
"This programme has completely changed the lives of so many children. It has been a cornerstone of my work, helping so many families to better manage overwhelm and anxiety, to build resilience, to cope with challenges and to really thrive."
