The world is waking up to the importance of mental wellbeing and that’s so very important - especially for our young ones, who are struggling in unprecedented numbers. Referrals for mental health support have rocketed, their mental distress is impacting their ability to learn well and research informs us that psychological struggle in younger years correlates directly with vulnerability to mental illness in adult life. But how do we actually care for this crucial aspect of their being and, perhaps more importantly, can we teach our young ones to understand and nurture their mental wellbeing for themselves?
For nearly 40 years as a mental health specialist, I have focused on finding the most effective keys for creating meaningful and lasting inner wellbeing. A culmination of my life’s work, I am delighted now to offer The Inner SNACK - my empowering, unique educational programme with proven results in creating relief, understanding and transformation of life …
My training is geared ideally towards the classroom setting (to maximise benefit) but it is equally valuable for young people to use as a fascinating resource on their own (or with their parents). Although many more people are now talking about mental health, the process of HOW to nurture this central aspect of living is poorly understood. This training will give you those crucial missing pieces, to help you care for your mental wellbeing in highly effective and straightforward ways.
With clear explanations, I’ll teach you (and your students) the most important neuroscientific findings – facts about how your brain works – which paves the way for increasing your understanding and easing your control of your ‘inner world’. Using visual aids, I’ll teach you a new, simple and yet profoundly effective way of putting all that busy head stuff 'out there'… and then looking at it, and nurturing it, in a new and lasting way.
I’ll also describe little ‘treasures’ that I’ve discovered over all these decades of helping hundreds of adults and young people - ‘sign posts’ to help you move towards your goals with heightened optimism and greater happiness, as you gain insight and ease in becoming your own true friend.

Testimonials
“Our young people have never been in greater need of help to deal with their inner brokenness. As a teacher, I’m seeing this first-hand as they learn to navigate life post-lockdown, in our complex society and very troubled world. Rosanna is hugely gifted and intuitive and her insights and knowledge, developed over many years as a practitioner, are second to none. I could not have had a better person than Rosanna to help me deal with my own inner struggles. The coping mechanisms I have learned from her would also be hugely beneficial for our young folk and would give them much needed and very necessary inner resources to last a lifetime. Practising Rosanna’s Inner Snack model is truly life giving. I would say these tools are essential for mental health and wellbeing, and the sooner our young people learn these very important strategies, the better.”

“This type of therapy has really helped me because it gets me to visualise my inner world. I can view my mind in a different way that makes it easier to handle everyday life. I am now much better at stepping back in a stressful situation and thinking of different ways to calm myself down. I have found this very helpful and surprisingly simple to do. Overall, it has been really beneficial to my mental health and has helped me cope with the world around me.”
Secondary School Pupil (14 years old) - Edinburgh
"The broad and flexible approach Rosanna was able to bring to bear with patients meant that I was able to refer anybody requiring counselling/psychotherapeutic help. The response of my patients was without exception favourable, and that included the mother/parents of young children through to adults and the elderly. Rosanna’s broad and considerable experience gave her a depth of understanding that resonated immediately with those that came to her for therapy, and she was able quickly to break down the initial anxieties and reservations of her clients. Rosanna's involvement resulted in an 80% reduction in my use of antidepressants and in 80% happier patients. Patients who saw her spoke highly of her and were delighted with the quick and lasting improvement in their lives."
