Neurodiversity Advisory
For Professionals
One to one or small group mentorship for school pastoral care leaders/teams, individual teachers/school staff or therapeutic professionals is offered in person or online. These sessions, often scheduled monthly, offer professionals an opportunity to further their understanding of neurodivergence and executive functioning, thus helping cultivate more effective strategies for therapeutic engagement with neurodivergent clients.

Neurodiversity Mentorship for Professionals:
Workshops and training for schools and other organisations:
I offer a wide range of talks and workshops for schools and organisations focusing on neurodiversity and mental health. The aim of each session is to support and empower teachers, parents, SENDCOs, school nurses, pastoral care staff, therapists and other professionals by providing insights and resources to help them better understand and serve the needs of the young people in their care.

For Parents
Having worked for many years across the age-range in education in my roles as teacher, SENDCo (special educational needs and disabilities coordinator), psychoeducational assessor and vice principal, together with my in-depth experience in working as part of a multidisciplinary team as a psychotherapist, I have developed my Neurodiversity Advisory Services. This area of my work focuses on identifying constructive pathways to supporting children, adolescents and young adults. The aim is to look in-depth at educational and therapeutic needs together, and help to identify what might be blocking current educational progress and impacting on a child or young person’s quality of life.
