What We Explore
Each week gently builds on the last, supporting girls to develop emotional awareness, confidence, and practical skills they can use in everyday life.
Week 1 – Understanding My Feelings
Girls begin learning that emotions are important signals that help us understand what is happening inside us.
They explore:
• recognising different emotions
• understanding that all feelings are valid
• learning language to describe emotions
Girls practise identifying emotions and reflecting on situations that might bring those feelings.
Week 2 – Friendships and Kindness
Friendships are a big part of life at this age.
This session explores:
• what makes a healthy friendship
• kindness and empathy
• how to respond when friendships feel difficult
Girls reflect on how they want to treat others and how they want to be treated in friendships.
Week 3 – Confidence and My Strengths
Girls begin recognising their own strengths and the qualities that make them unique.
They explore:
• self-belief and positive inner language
• recognising their abilities and strengths
• building confidence in their voice and choices
This session helps girls develop a stronger sense of self.
Week 4 – Calming My Big Feelings
The final session focuses on emotional regulation.
Girls learn simple tools they can use when emotions feel overwhelming, including:
• calming breathing techniques
• grounding exercises
• pausing before reacting
Girls also create a simple personal plan for managing big feelings.
What Girls Take Away
By the end of the Bloom Girls Circle programme, girls leave with:
• a clearer understanding of their emotions and what those feelings may be communicating
• simple calming and grounding tools they can use when emotions feel overwhelming
• language to describe how they are feeling and express themselves more confidently
• greater confidence in navigating friendships and everyday challenges
• a growing sense of emotional awareness and self-understanding
Parents and caregivers also gain insight into ways they can gently reinforce these emotional tools and conversations at home.
Who This Is For
Bloom Girls Circle may benefit girls who:
• are learning to understand and express their emotions
• sometimes feel overwhelmed by big feelings
• are navigating friendships and social dynamics
• would benefit from building confidence and emotional awareness
• would enjoy learning emotional wellbeing tools in a supportive small group setting
The programme is supportive and preventative, helping girls develop healthy emotional habits early.
Parent Note
Bloom Girls Circle supports children in building emotional awareness, confidence, and healthy relationship skills through guided, age-appropriate sessions.
It is not a counselling or therapy service, but a structured wellbeing programme designed to equip children with practical tools they can use in everyday life.
Parents and caregivers are gently supported with simple ways to continue these conversations at home.
