Rethinking Behaviour Through the Body
At the InnerMe Project, we help families and professionals decode the real reason behind children's big behaviours — not through rewards or discipline, but by understanding what their nervous system is trying to say.
Whether it’s meltdowns, shutdowns, school refusal, masking, anxiety or shutdowns… these aren’t signs of a “bad” child — they’re signs of a body that doesn't feel safe, seen, or supported.
Using cutting-edge understanding of interoception, sensory integration, and trauma-informed practice, we help you move beyond behaviour management and into body-based connection that works.
What Parents and Professionals Say
"We've seen more progress in 8 weeks than in 3 years in therapy"
"This programme transformed how I support my pupils. Every SEN team needs this"
"It finally makes sense - it's not just behavior, it's the body screaming for help"
Meet Kate Grayson
Founder of The InnerMe Project & Therapeeze Occupational Therapy
Hi, I’m Kate — an occupational therapist, speaker, author and mum. For almost two decades, I’ve worked with children and families struggling with emotional and sensory overwhelm. But it wasn’t until I faced my own health journey — and became a parent myself — that I realised how disconnected we are from our bodies, and how misunderstood children's behaviour can be.
In my 30s, when my immune issues began affecting my health, I became obsessed with understanding how my body worked — because the NHS didn’t give me answers. That obsession gave me discipline, regulation, and awareness. When I became a mum, I never let go of that regulation practice — even if it meant working out in a garage after no sleep, or laying on the floor while my toddler crawled on me.
That’s what inspired me to develop the InnerMe Method — an approach that doesn’t aim to fix children, but to understand them through the lens of their interoceptive world, helping them feel safe, regulated and empowered from the inside out.
Because when children can’t recognise their body signals — they can’t regulate. And when adults misinterpret those signals as "naughty" behaviour — everyone suffers.
I created the InnerMe Project to change that. To build the bridge from mutual regulation to self-regulation. And to give you the tools, language and support to do it too.

Decode what behaviour is really communicating
Understand the role of interoception and sensory safety

Support children through a body-first, nervous-system aware approach
Rebuild connection between adults and children in a way that is sustainable, real and compassionate
We believe:
🧠 Behaviour is bodily.
💬 Regulation is relational.
🌀 Support must be sensory-aware.

The Build the Bridge Framework
Our work is rooted in the InnerMe Build the Bridge model — a progressive approach that supports children in moving from mutual regulation (support from others) to self-regulation (autonomy with awareness).
Mutual Regulation – Feeling safe in connection with an emotionally available adult
Recognising Body Signals – “My tummy feels funny.” “My chest is tight.” “My head’s fuzzy.”
Making Sense of Sensations – Linking body clues to emotions and needs
Regulation Strategies – Matching the right tool to the right signal (before it explodes)
Self-Regulation – Building independence, identity and confidence from the inside out
This is how we move from chaos and confusion... to calm and connection.
