Services for families
I offer a range of services designed to support families in understanding their child and overcoming challenging behaviours. Whether you would prefer a shorter, tailored approach by having a consultation or you would like a more detailed approach by signing up to my 'Understanding Autism course' Through my expertise and guidance, families can gain a better understanding of autism/sleep and develop effective tools to overcome distressed behaviours.
Autism
If you're looking to deepen your understanding of autism and learn how to better support your child, I offer two key services designed to provide guidance, practical strategies, and reassurance.
-
1:1 Consultations - A personalised, hour-long session where we focus on your child's specific needs and any challenges you may be facing as a family. Together, we'll develop tailored strategies to support your child’s development, communication, and overall well-being.
-
Understanding Autism Course - A six-week programme covering key topics such as sensory processing, emotional regulation, communication strategies, and practical ways to support your child’s learning and social interactions. Each session is designed to equip families with valuable insights, evidence-based approaches, and practical tools to create a supportive environment at home.
Whether you’re newly navigating an autism diagnosis or looking for fresh strategies, my goal is to provide families with the knowledge, confidence, and support they need to help their child thrive.

Sleep
I provide tailored support for families struggling with their child's bedtime routine—whether that’s trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or settling at night.
My sleep support includes:
-
A 45-minute consultation, where we discuss your child's specific sleep challenges and create a personalised plan to help them develop healthy sleep habits.
-
A pre-recorded video presentation packed with expert advice, practical tips, and useful information to support better sleep for your child.
-
A 30-minute follow-up session a few weeks later, giving you the chance to ask questions and fine-tune the strategies based on your progress.
My goal is to help families create a calm and consistent sleep routine, making bedtime smoother for both children and parents while improving overall well-being.

Life is a journey for all of us, but when you have a child who has autism the world suddenly changes, for you and for them. It can be a very lonely and isolating time, you may stop going to parties and social events, going to the shops or park is eventful enough. You feel as though nobody else understands, why me? You may not even understand what Autism is. Well, you are not alone. My primary goal is to give you the knowledge, understanding and skills to empower you and your child to go on the journey together.
