Formal assessment and diagnostic understandings can often be extremely important milestones on the journey to true understanding. But I am always mindful of starting where each young person and their parents are at. Some are keen to pursue assessments from the get-go, but for a host of reasons, others are just not yet in that space.

But as I often say, you don’t need a diagnosis to be helped. Working through the lens of how the young person is experiencing life and learning, support can almost always be tailored regardless of diagnosis. And keeping the young person’s voice and wishes at the very heart of the work, and bringing the school on board alongside, it is wonderful to see how quickly situations can turn around.

I am also very mindful of enabling the young people I work with to feel positive about the diagnostic process, and to feel that this is happening with them not to them. And therefore I prefer to stabilise their situation first so that an assessment and any subsequent diagnosis can be embraced from a position of strength and positivity.

‘Be gentle with the people you meet. Their insides may not match their outsides’. This is a phrase I often think about.

For so much of my work is about being privileged to view beneath the surface of the young people I meet to witness the true soul beneath. And in so many cases, what is seen or understood by others to be true is the opposite of what is really going on.

Empowering the young person to be able to understand themselves better and capturing their voice in the process, alongside enabling others around them both at home and school to really understand them too is a central aspect of my work.

I am definitely made for this time of year. I love the re-appearance of fluffy blankets at home, early nights, warming cups of Horlicks, and all things pumpkin 🎃 alongside the planning for Halloween 🪄. I love wearing thick tights, floral dresses and cosy jumpers, and collecting conkers and acorns on our walks. And having a dog who coordinates with the leaves adds to the fun! 🍁🍂🐶

I rarely formally partner with other organisations. But the holistic, joined-up and compassionate approach of the @yeswecanclinics in supporting and understanding young people is one which tightly aligns with my own. I am very much looking forward to working with them and their young people around the world.

Although life moves on and I am older, and maybe sometimes a little wiser, in many ways nothing really changes.

The things that brought me joy back then, still bring me joy now. And the things that mattered then, kindness, animals, fairness, and looking beyond the surface of people still matter deeply now.

It was therefore nice to have the opportunity to reconnect with the little girl I was for ‘International Day of the Girl’ - indeed, that little child is still inside all of us if we only care to look.
