You're exhausted because nothing you've tried seems to be helping your child.
If your autistic or neurodivergent child is struggling with school refusal, severe anxiety, meltdowns or emotional distress, it can feel as though every new strategy offers hope before things slide back again.
You may have spoken with school, followed professional advice and tried different approaches, yet your child is still struggling and daily life has become harder to manage.
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience supporting autistic and neurodivergent children and young people with complex presentations, I help families understand why previous approaches haven't worked and develop practical, personalised strategies that lead to real change.

Discover how we help
Every family situation is different. The work begins by understanding what is happening for your child and your family. Step 1: Assessment We look at your child, your family, and what has been happening over time. This includes a parent consultation, time with your child or young person where appropriate, and review of any relevant reports or school information. Step 2: Clinical Insights Report You receive a written explanation of what is going on. It sets out what is driving the difficulties, why things may not have improved so far, what your child is good at, and what needs attention first. Step 3: Personalised Support We work through a series of sessions focused on putting a plan into practice. This includes parent coaching, emotional regulation strategies, support with school, and practical changes at home tailored to your child’s needs. The focus is on what works in everyday life. Step 4: Review and Next Steps At the end of the work we review what has changed and what still needs attention. Some families feel able to continue independently. Others return for support with new challenges such as transitions to secondary school, college or university. Either way, you leave with clarity and a clear sense of direction.
Why families come to us
Most families arrive after trying several different approaches that haven’t created lasting change. They’re not short of advice. What’s missing is a clear explanation that makes sense of what they are seeing. Our role is to make complex situations understandable, so families can make better decisions and stop reacting in crisis mode. Areas we commonly support School refusal Severe anxiety Emotional regulation difficulties Meltdowns and shutdowns Demand avoidance profiles, including PDA Autism and ADHD (AuDHD) Transition to secondary school Transition to college or university Parent and family support About Us With more than 20 years of experience supporting autistic and neurodivergent children, young people and families, we specialise in situations where previous approaches haven’t led to meaningful progress. Behaviour is communication. When we understand what is driving it, we can respond in ways that reduce distress rather than escalate it. Our approach is structured, practical and tailored to each family. Frequently asked questions Does my child need a diagnosis? No. we work with both diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodivergent children and young people. The focus is on understanding what is happening and what support is needed. What happens in the first session? The first step is a detailed conversation about your child, your concerns, and what has been happening so far. This helps build a clear picture of the situation and what may be driving the difficulties. Do you work with parents as well as children? Yes. Parent understanding and involvement is central to the work. Much of the support focuses on helping parents respond in ways that reduce distress and improve day-to-day life. Do you work with schools? Yes. Where appropriate, we work with schools to help secure better understanding and more appropriate support for your child. Do you offer home visits? Yes, within a 15-minute radius of our base and on line How long does support last? It depends on the needs of the family or the individual. Some families benefit from a short period of focused input, while others need longer-term support. This is discussed after the initial consultation. What if we’ve already tried other professionals? That is very common. Many families we work with have already tried other approaches without lasting change. The aim here is to understand what has been missed or misunderstood and adjust the approach accordingly. [email protected]
