The Meaning Behind the Name: Learning to Learn

When choosing a name for my service, I wanted something that truly reflected my values—not just as a professional, but also as a parent and lifelong learner.

Learning to Learn isn’t just a catchy phrase; it represents a deep belief that sits at the heart of everything I do: the belief that everyone has the capacity to learn.

But learning isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. Every individual brings their own strengths, challenges, preferences, and pace. Learning to Learn acknowledges this diversity. It’s a name that embraces flexibility, curiosity, and the understanding that learning happens in many different ways—not just in classrooms or therapy sessions, but in daily routines, shared moments, and meaningful connections.

At its core, Learning to Learn is grounded in the idea that everyone has the right to a safe, supportive, and effective learning environment—one that adapts to their needs, and not the other way around. Whether it’s a child finding their voice, a parent figuring out what works at home, or a family navigating challenges together, learning should feel empowering—not exhausting or overwhelming.

For the children I support, learning to learn means taking the time to truly get to know them. It’s about recognising their unique strengths, acknowledging their challenges, and uncovering what drives their interest and sparks their curiosity. From there, we can build skills that are not only functional but also deeply meaningful. It’s not about teaching what society deems necessary or checking boxes on a generic list—it’s about building capacity that fosters strength, independence, and happiness across environments.

Learning to learn is about finding the “why” behind behaviours, connecting with and embracing the child’s view of the world, and using that insight to support learning in ways that feel natural and motivating. Whether it’s learning to communicate, regulate emotions, or engage socially, the process should always be respectful, responsive, and tailored to the individual child.

For the parents I work alongside, learning to learn means cutting through the noise. It’s about helping parents navigate the myriad of conflicting parenting strategies, advice, and well-meaning opinions—and supporting them to find a parenting style that not only suits their child but also feels authentic to them.

I aim to offer compassion and clarity, helping parents look beyond stigma and let go of the parenting guilt. Learning to Learn acknowledges that parenting styles will differ for every child and every family—and that’s not just okay, it’s essential.

Together, we work to build a flexible, research-informed toolbox—one that guides interactions, promotes success, and above all else, creates more joy, connection, and harmony in everyday life.

The name Learning to Learn is a reminder that the process matters just as much as the outcome. That progress isn’t always linear. That success looks different for everyone. And most importantly, that learning should never be limited by rigid systems or outdated expectations.

It’s a name that invites curiosity, values individuality, and champions the belief that with the right support, every person can thrive—not just in learning, but in life.

Learning Lifes Lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be.
