Often the responsibility falls on the individual to adapt or change to suit the environment or situations we find ourselves in - that’s the medical model approach.
At regulation toolkits, we use the social model. The social model approach focuses on the environment around us and how we can adapt to thrive.


Feeling overwhelmed but not sure what to do about it?
You’re not alone—and you’re not the problem.
We’re Lynnette (Occupational Therapy) and Maria (Psychology), and between us we’ve spent years working in:
– mental health
– care of individuals with varying needs
– learning disabilities
– neurodiversity
One thing we kept seeing over and over again:
👉 People are told what they’re feeling
👉 But not how to actually manage it in real life
That’s why we created the Regulation Toolkits
Practical, realistic tools to help you:
✔ understand your emotions
✔ recognise overwhelm early
✔ find strategies that actually work for YOU
No fluff. No unrealistic advice. Just real-life support.
