ABOUT US

Hello, I'm Chantele Barker, a passionate, experienced educator with over 10 years as a PSHE lead and 20 years of mentoring children and young people facing challenges, particularly those related to behaviour, exclusion and vulnerability.

After over a decade leading PSHE in secondary schools, I created The PSHE Influencer to continue supporting educators and young people beyond the classroom.

I have seen first-hand how students with unique learning needs; whether it's ADHD, Dyslexia, or emotional support- often slip through the cracks in traditional classrooms or worse are labelled 'badly behaved' and excluded from mainstream settings. So, I set out to create something different.

Here's the thing: wellbeing and confidence matter. When students feel safe, they open up to academic risk. Once they take academic risk, they can wrestle deeply with content. When they wrestle with content, they learn. When they facilitate others' learning, they lead.

Over the years working in education, I noticed that struggling students weren't able to thrive in learning environments if their needs were not being met. And let's be realistic; it is difficult to navigate being a teen. Managing friendships, peer pressure and conflict; issues that can often over-shadow the school experience. We offer a range of support services for children and young people, and those supporting them.

With a holistic, integrative approach, blending academic support with tools to improve wellbeing. We're not just here to 'teach'- we're here to listen, mentor, and tailor our approach to what your CYP truly needs.

Chantele is trained to Level 3 in Child Safeguarding (Designated Safeguarding Lead) and has an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate which is registered with the update service.

Chantele has considerable experience creating learning resources to support adults caring for, or working with, children and young people, and facilitating training.

I help young people thrive with confidence, clarity and courage.
