Each engagement is bespoke to the child and family and carefully designed around the young person’s unique profile and circumstances with careful attention to their family context and educational environment. My work ranges from individual sessions focused on a specific educational challenge, to in-depth consultations and holistic educational reviews which can lead to ongoing advisory involvement, and fully tailored educational provision. I provide more information on these beneath.

 

Holistic Educational Reviews

Where situations are complex and there is a lack of clarity around what is going on and how to move forward, I can undertake a holistic review of the young person’s educational experience. This is a method which I have developed to really capture what the young person is experiencing and to then advise on possible supports and assessments to enable a coherent, compassionate, and well-coordinated plan.

 

Advisory Support

Parents often require support with how to navigate a specific issue which has arisen at school or relates to their child's education. Sometimes these can be resolved in one or two consultations.

 

At other times, families require continued guidance for themselves, their child, and/or their child's educational setting. In these situations, I become involved in a longer term way as their family's personal educational advisor, providing ongoing specialist support to help navigate educational decision-making, periods of transition, school relationships, home-learning, and complex or evolving needs. I also provide direct support for young people wanting to understand themselves better, and to ensure that others understand them too.

 

Bespoke LEARNING Programmes

I design individualised programmes which focus on enhancing young people's learning, emotional wellbeing, and engagement. These programmes are carefully developed to restore confidence and calm, reduce anxiety, and to enable the young person to experience success, happiness and enjoyment again.
