E-motions™ Sensory Storytelling Experiences
Helping children understand big feelings through stories, imagination and sensory experiences
Help children recognise, understand and manage their emotions through engaging storytelling experiences designed for schools, nurseries and SEND settings.
Using relatable characters, sensory props and interactive storytelling, each session encourages emotional awareness, empathy and practical ways to navigate big feelings.
Little Stories, Big Feelings, Lasting Lessons
Through engaging sensory storytelling experiences, children are encouraged to:
-
Recognise and name their emotions - developing emotional awareness and vocabulary.
-
Understand that all feelings are normal - creating space to talk openly about emotions.
-
Explore ways to manage big feelings - discovering simple, practical calming strategies.
-
Develop empathy - recognising feelings in others through relatable characters.
-
Build confidence - encouraging self-expression and participation.
Each experience provides a memorable starting point for further conversations and emotional learning in the classroom or nursery.
Bringing the Stories to Life
Each E-motions™ sensory storytelling session brings a character's journey to life through imaginative storytelling, sensory props and interactive moments.
Children become part of the story as they explore how the characters feel and learn simple, practical ways to understand and manage their own emotions.
The sessions are designed to be engaging, inclusive and adaptable to different age groups and settings, including children with additional needs.

Scaredy Bear's Courageous Tale
Helping children explore fear, build confidence and discover their own courage.
Through Scaredy Bear's journey, children explore what it feels like to be frightened, discover that fear is a natural emotion and learn that being brave doesn't mean never feeling scared.
Using sensory storytelling and interactive moments, the experience encourages children to recognise their fears and explore ways to face them.

Hi, I'm Rebecca Bishop
In my extensive experience as a holistic therapist, I've witnessed powerful transformations as clients released layers of pain and trauma from their childhood.
This led me to question 'if we mainly operate from our subconscious (which was mostly programmed before the age of seven), then why not work with young children and make an impactful change that will serve them for the rest of their lives?'.
As a qualified NLP Master Practitioner, Energy Alignment Method Mentor, and RQF Level 5 Trainer, my own journey of self-discovery revealed that I had an inability to fully feel emotions, which throughout my 20’s and 30’s resulted in often feeling low and depressed.
Rooted in core beliefs like 'it’s wrong to feel anger,' 'angry people are bad,' and 'it’s not acceptable to cry', I learned to suppress my emotions. This inability to feel kept me stuck when it came to romantic relationships and made the world feel like a frightening place.
That’s why all of my stories carry powerful underlying messages designed to support children’s emotional wellbeing and shape them into the adults they become.
As a children’s author, I take my responsibility seriously – especially knowing that the messages we share with young children, while their brains are still in that programming stage (before the age of 7), can stay with them for life.
Every word, character, and emotion is chosen with care – because stories have the power to heal, shape, and guide the hearts and minds of the next generation.
What Teachers are Saying
Great for PHSE lessons
"These stories are fantastic for young children with their lovable characters and captivating storylines.
They would be great to use in PSHE lessons with children who may be struggling with different emotions, as well as being enjoyed by the whole class during story time".
Miss Bonner, former Assistant Head of Barrow Hall Primary School, currently Education Specialist at Findel
Children were engaged throughout
"Children loved the rhyming and were engaged throughout the whole story. The visuals were very engaging.
Emotions – currently a big push for speech and language (particularly for children with SEND - additional needs) to understand emotions and self-regulation. We printed some of the slides and my TA did some drawing of the characters and discussion with our children on Speech and Language".
Mr Porter, Reception Teacher, (Read to Reception Class) Evelyn Street Primary School.
Children learn how to deal
with their Fears
"The story was simple and easy to follow for young children due to the use of rhyme and colourful pictures.
Your delivery was great as the children were engaged from the start due to you wearing the bear ears and neckerchief.
Children were introduced to lots of different fears that they could relate to but most importantly, how to deal with their fears"
Ms Palfreyman (SENCO) and Ms Grogan, Reception Teachers, Cobbs Infant and Nursery.
