Meet Susie
Susie Robbins, founder of Resolve to Play and lead Behaviour Consultant is a mother of three with a background in education. Susie worked for many years as Intervention Manager within a large inner-city secondary school, supporting with children who were deemed to be at risk of social or academic exclusion. By spending time with the children themselves, their families, school and external agencies Susie was able to coordinate a safety network of strategies, tools and techniques to best set the child up for success.
By implementing an approach based on consistency, compassion and empathy Susie saw a huge success rate in the number of children who reengaged with education.
​
Susie has continued to work with a Trauma-Informed and family-centred holistic approach. It is her aim to help the entire family to resolve the issue, and not simply shut down the symptomatic challenging behaviours.
​
Susie established Resolve to Play as a Behaviour Consultancy in September 2022 and has subsequently supported hundreds of families to navigate challenging behaviour in a way that nurtures the family relationship.

Our Mission
We believe that all children deserve compassion, empathy and understanding. However as a busy parents ourselves, we also understand how overwhelming it can be to try to do it all for your children when you don't have the necessary knowledge or experience.
​
Susie and Leslie-Ann work with parents to expose the root cause of challenging behaviours, provide strategies to help soothe the fractures that have been caused and to reinstate some balance to benefit the whole family. These are the pillars around which Resolve to Play has been built.
