A Whole-School Framework

Every child communicates. Most schools just aren't built to see it.

I'm Nicole Henry — Mental Health Specialist in Education, and creator of The Child We Miss™. A whole-school framework that helps leadership teams move from noticing children in crisis to building systems that see, understand, respond to, and sustain support for every child — before it becomes an emergency.

About Nicole

The voice schools call when wellbeing needs structure.

I'm a Mental Health Specialist in Education, speaker, and CEO of Tea of Therapy. Across thirteen years and 6,000+ students in UK and UAE schools, I've helped leadership teams move from reactive wellbeing to structured, sustainable provision — the kind that survives staff turnover, evidences impact for governors, and earns the trust of students, staff and parents alike.

I hold a Master's in Child and Adolescent Mental Wellbeing and sit on the Governor's Board for Aldar Education, contributing to pastoral care and support at leadership level.
