James Faragher is a dedicated educator, mental health advocate, and parent who has spent years helping children develop confidence, resilience, and emotional understanding. With a background in cognitive behavioral strategies and child development, he believes that every child deserves the tools to express their feelings, manage challenges, and build a healthy sense of self. His work bridges the gap between clinical psychology and everyday parenting, transforming complex therapeutic concepts into simple, fun, and practical activities families can use right at home.

Driven by a passion for empowering children and reducing the stigma around mental health conversations, James has collaborated with teachers, counselors, and caregivers to design engaging emotional learning resources. He understands that big feelings can feel overwhelming for both kids and adults and aims to guide families toward healthier communication and connection.

James wrote A CBT Toolkit for Kids to help children learn that emotions are not obstacles, but part of being human. Through compassion, creativity, and evidence-based tools, he encourages kids to see their strengths, understand their thoughts, and discover positive ways to navigate life’s daily challenges. His mission is simple: emotional wellness for every child, one beautiful mind at a time.
