Service: With nearly 20 years of experience in supporting children, young people, and adults, I am passionate about enhancing emotional wellbeing and unlocking the full potential of individuals. My approach combines therapeutic coaching, creative methods, and evidence-based strategies to promote resilience, self-regulation, and personal growth.
What I Offer:
•    Therapeutic Coaching: Tailored sessions for children, young people, and adults, using a blend of creative and therapeutic techniques to foster emotional health, build resilience, and encourage self-regulation.
•    Workshops & Programs: I run engaging classes, workshops and 1:2:1 sessions in schools and community settings, focusing on emotional development, creativity, and mental wellbeing. These include programs such as Relax Kids, ChargeUp, LEGO Therapy, and Story Massage, designed to support personal development in a safe and nurturing environment.
•    Parent Workshops: Offering practical guidance and emotional support for parents on understanding behaviour as communication, learning through play, sensory play, and parent-child attachment. These workshops are rooted in a deep understanding of the autonomic nervous system and its links to emotional wellbeing. PCAP sessions are also delivered on an individual basis.
•    Visual Stress Screening: Stage 1 Assessments to identify the presence of Visual Stress, a neurological condition which affects not only the processing of visual information but often affects other areas of sensory processing. This condition may contribute to dysregulation, often co-occurring with ASD and ADHD. Early identification helps create more effective strategies for emotional regulation and support through coloured overlays or lenses to improve learning and development.
Each of these services is grounded in years of experience and an empathetic, holistic approach to supporting individuals at every stage of life.

Mission: I am committed to empowering children, young people, and adults by fostering emotional wellbeing, resilience, and personal growth through creative therapeutic coaching and evidence-based programs. With nearly 20 years of experience, I support individuals and families in overcoming challenges, promoting self-regulation, and enhancing communication, while creating a safe space for learning and development.

My approach is especially beneficial for those dealing with sensory processing issues, ADHD, ASD, or other neurodiverse conditions. Through creative therapies and structured programs like Relax Kids, ChargeUp, and LEGO Therapy, I offer tailored support to help young people thrive both emotionally and socially.

Parents & Families:
I also provide valuable guidance to parents who are looking to support their children's emotional development and mental wellbeing. Whether it’s managing behavior, enhancing communication, or fostering parent-child attachment, I offer practical strategies grounded in an understanding of the nervous system and emotional health. Families navigating sensory processing challenges or neurodiverse conditions can also benefit from tailored approaches that promote growth and connection.

Schools & Educational Institutions:
In addition to working with individuals and families, I partner with schools and educational institutions to implement programs that support emotional health, resilience, and personal development. My services help teachers and school staff address behavioral concerns, improve communication with students, and create an environment that prioritizes mental wellbeing and personal growth.

Community Groups & Support Networks:
I collaborate with community organizations that support children, families, and neurodiverse individuals. These groups often seek structured therapeutic programs to enhance emotional development and wellbeing, particularly in settings where accessibility and inclusivity are key. My work helps build healthier, more resilient communities through creative and therapeutic interventions.

Adults Seeking Personal Growth:
While my primary focus is on children and families, I also support adults looking to improve their emotional wellbeing, resilience, and self-regulation. Individuals who may have experienced childhood trauma, emotional challenges, or simply want to achieve personal growth can benefit from therapeutic coaching, creative exercises, and structured programs designed to overcome barriers and promote lasting change.

Service: I provide specialised parent coaching for ADHD parents and parents raising ADHD children. My approach blends evidence-based frameworks with practical strategies that work with your brain, not against it. Through one-to-one coaching and my Growing Extraordinary Humans membership, I help families move from daily chaos to calmer, more connected homes.

Mission: My mission is to empower neurodivergent families to thrive by giving parents the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to raise their children without guilt or constant conflict. I believe parenting with ADHD isn’t about chasing perfection.  It’s about building trust, connection, and a family life that feels calmer and more sustainable.

Who I support: I work with parents who either have ADHD themselves or are raising neurodivergent children (often both). My ideal clients are loving, dedicated parents who may feel exhausted, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of shouting, guilt, and overwhelm, but who want to find ADHD-friendly ways to parent that honour their child’s needs and their own.

Qualifications and Experience: I am a certified Peaceful Parent Coach trained by Dr Laura Markham, with further training in ADHD, autism, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and mindfulness for neurodiverse populations. I bring over 20 years’ leadership experience in mental health and learning disability charities and the NHS, alongside lived experience as an ADHD parent. I’ve been honoured with the UK StartUp Awards Social Enterprise StartUp of the Year (East of England), featured as an ADHD parenting specialist in an upcoming UK documentary, and invited to partner with organisations including Sanctum Healthcare and the NSPCC.
