The Heart Behind the Practice
Hi, I’m Claire, the founder of Bright Minds Calm Hearts Mindful Learning Ltd.
The idea for this project was born when I witnessed the transformative power of Lego therapy, bringing joy and connection to kids who often felt isolated.
Whether I’m building with bricks or building dreams, my goal is always the same: to inspire and uplift.
Claire Lawrence

My training allows me to design meaningful, informed, and creative sessions that recognise each child’s unique strengths and challenges. My work is especially focused on supporting children with autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent conditions.
