My name is Lucy Nathanson and my passion is helping children to realise that:
They are BRAVER than they believe, STRONGER than they seem and SMARTER than they think.
Because they are!
I have completed a BSc degree in Applied Psychology and Sociology at the University of Surrey.
Whilst spending a year working for an Educational Psychology service, I had an experience which inspired me to devote my life to raising the confidence and self-esteem of children.
I spent three weeks each in eight different schools, and at one school I noticed a child in reception who had selective mutism.
He hadn't spoken at school for the two years he had been there! He had been assessed by a variety of therapists and psychologists but was still mute...
I spent two hours a day in class with the child for ten days, and here I realised my intuitive talent for helping children

Overseas work
We Are Helping 1000 Businesses Amplify Their Online Presence
Lucy is passionate about raising confidence in children all over the world, even starting an overseas project as a student.
Lucy has developed and implemented a project in Uganda. She worked in a Children's home as a teacher in 2010 where she discussed the needs of the children.
She returned in 2011, after fundraising for a year, and delivered 3 pregnant cows to 3 different children's homes, enabling the children to have milk, and thus nutrition within their diet.
Lucy Nathanson In Uganda
There are many benefits of a cow:
- Having to look after a cow, the children have learnt important agricultural skills which are vital in Uganda.
- The children's homes' also use the manure from the cow to grow fruit and vegetables.
- The children are able to have the milk (and thus nutrition) from the cow within their morning porridge (they previously mixed the porridge with water).
- The children were promised a cow from Lucy and she kept her promise and returned a year later - hopefully this demonstrated to the children that they are special.
- The cow can act as a physical pet/friend, providing comfort, to the children who are mostly orphans.
Lucy appeared on the News in Uganda as well as in the largest selling newspaper and a variety of other publications, including The Surrey Times in the UK.
