Background and Training:
Formerly a Harrogate Grammar School pupil, I graduated as a mature student from The University of the West of England, reading Psychology and Health Science, in 1999. I went on to do a funded Doctoral thesis on Adolescents, Appearance, and Anti-Bullying Strategies in which, after an extensive survey of teenage concerns with bullying and appearance, I worked with teens to devise an approach that successfully defuses bullying (ending 2002).Followed by an international, three year research project with universities and hospitals in the US on appearance and bullying.Then moved from Bristol to Pembrokeshire smallholding - where I wrote the book that describes the Lovegrove Approach to bullying.

Julia Donaldson, author of Gruffalo books: "This book sets out a positive and refreshing approach to bullying which really makes sense to children, parents and teachers. I wish it had been around when my own children were at school."
Gervase Phinn, author and broadcaster: Emily, in her clearly written and powerfully persuasive book, considers the causes of bullying and offers so much practical and useful advice for parents and all those who work with children. She stresses that no one deserves to be bullied, that those who are subjected to bullying should realise it is not their fault. Her message is clear: bullying should never be tolerated or ignored because it won’t go away – it must be tackled. This splendid handbook should be on the shelf of every parent and teacher.
