The Skill Tree Company was founded in 2015 by Alison Williamson and Judith Algar-Nicholas, whose collective professional skills and experience include teaching, training, counselling, nutrition, course design and learning support. Our key themes are to raise self-esteem, encourage positivity, assertiveness and resilience. We teach how to combat bullying and learn to focus and relax, even during high stress times such as exam preparation. Our society vaccinates kids against potential physical diseases but does not protect them from stress and the pressures that fast paced 21 century living can bring. Often the techniques that can help children cope are only offered when a child is already in difficulty, e.g., being bullied or diagnosed with an emerging mental health problem. Our aim is to teach valuable life skills, ideas and techniques early, to protect our children and help them grow into the young people they are meant to be.
