Parenting/caring for neurodivergent children and young people can be challenging, especially when their needs continually change and when you get conflicting messages/advice from different places and people.

I have decades of experience in working with autistic/ADHD children and young people in a variety of ways and settings (most recently as a senior clinician at CAMHS), as well as lived experience of being an autistic parent to a neurodivergent young perso

I now offer parents/carers of neurodivergent children/young people (with or without “official” diagnosis) parenting advice and support. I can advise, for example, on emotional wellbeing, CAMHS referrals, private neurodevelopmental diagnoses, behaviour related issues, daily routine, assistive equipment, relationships (including siblings), school/education, sleep, diet, benefits and grants, as well as activities and supports in the community (for parents/carers and their children/young people). It is worth noting, that, in my work, I am always neuro- and LGBTQIA+ affirming, so I do not support ABA (applied behavioural analysis) approaches (although I understand why many parents/carers re drawn to them) or conversion “therapies”.

I currently work on Zoom and telephone. The sessions can be ad hoc, weekly, or at any other intervals, according to need. Sessions can be either 30 or 50 min long (or as otherwise decided).
