About me
I specialise in working with neurodiverse children and young people, using evidence-based, child-led and developmentally informed approaches to support emotional regulation, communication, and connection. My work is grounded in creating safe, trusting relationships where each child is respected, understood, and supported to thrive in their own unique way.
I work collaboratively with parents, offering guidance, reflection, and practical strategies to strengthen understanding and support the child both in and beyond sessions.

Additional information
Every child deserves the opportunity to receive the support they need to grow, learn, and thrive. I strongly believe that access to support should never be limited by financial circumstances. For families who may be finding it difficult to meet the full cost, a reduced scheme is available. If this might be helpful for you, please feel free to speak with me about it. I am always happy to discuss options in a supportive and confidential way
