Speakers

A passionate advocate of positive mental health, not only for children but parents and adults too. For over 20 years Dr Maryhan has been supporting children with anxiety and helping parents raise confident, resilient children.

Her practical approach has been hailed by parents, schools and organisations and earned her a reputation for straight-talking, non-judgemental, real advice.

At 28 years of age Maryhan left her corporate career and embarked on an 8-year long full- time academic journey before being awarded her Doctorate in 2006.

She combined her studies with motherhood, having her son in the final year of her Psychology degree, and her daughter in the second year of her PhD. Motherhood changed her focus to child development and how play can positively impact children’s learning.
