Whether you are a family navigating a complex or uncertain situation, or a professional looking to refer a family into trusted hands, this page is for you.

Each family I work with arrives at a different stage in their journey. Some are at the very beginning, with a growing sense that their child is struggling but no clear explanation or pathway forward. Others may be trying to understand what recent assessments or diagnoses mean in practice, for school, for home, and for their child's future. Others are navigating an educational situation or decision and need a calm, expert hand to support and guide them.

Whatever the starting point, my involvement is always bespoke, discreet, and built entirely around your child and your family.

My work spans four areas, although they often overlap:

Holistic Educational Reviews
Where there is complexity and a lack of clarity, I undertake a thorough review which captures what the young person is experiencing across their learning, emotional life, home environment, and educational setting. This is a method I have developed over many years, and it results in a clear, compassionate, and actionable picture of who the young person is and what they need both at home and school. Frequently, this process draws together threads that have been previously missed or misunderstood.

Advisory Support
Some families need guidance on a specific issue, where a school relationship has broken down, there is an upcoming assessment, or a transition to manage. Others require sustained involvement over time, and I work as their dedicated educational advisor, coordinating with schools, clinicians, and other specialists to ensure their child's educational experience is joined up, coherent, and moving positively forward.

Individual Consultations
These sessions are tailored around the needs of the young person. Often this means helping them to understand themselves more fully, and equipping those around them, at home and school, to understand and support them better too. Alongside working directly with young people, I also support parents and schools.

Bespoke Programmes
I design individually tailored educational programmes that restore a young person's confidence, reduce anxiety, and re-engage them with learning. These are built around the young person's unique profile of strengths and needs, and are created to bring back a sense of calm, confidence, and joy.

I specialise in working with teenagers but also take on cases involving young people from primary school age all the way through to university. All sessions are available online, and I work with families across the UK and internationally.
