Maria Langan

Hello, my name is Maria Langan and I have had the privilege to work in primary education for over 25years.

Supporting children with barriers to their learning has always been my primary focus and is so rewarding. Ensuring all children feel that they are seen, heard, valued and that they matter is important to me. 

Building connections and developing relationships are key in my role as an ELSA. Teaching how to recognise and manage emotions through therapeutic activities and having a nurturing approach enables children to feel safe and to be ready to learn. 

Having good mental health and wellbeing are the foundations that underpins a child’s journey through education and life.

I am excited to be involved with Rhythmic Movement Therapy. These are movements that heal and help the brain to work more efficiently. I have seen the benefits this can have on the child both physically and mentally first hand.
