Does your child or loved one challenge you? Not in the ways that others might think... Somehow their behaviour is just... different! But in ways that only you understand. Perhaps your loved one runs away, doesn't listen, spits, shouts, masks or has frequent "meltdowns". Or perhaps you suspect your loved one has a condition like Autism or ADHD- maybe they were recently diagnosed. No matter what is underlying your loved one's challenging behaviour, I want to help you reduce the behaviours so that your loved-one can achieve their full potential!
I specialise in helping parents and neurodivergent people understand the function of challenging behaviour. I use tried and tested strategies, adapted especially for people who are "different" to help neurodivergent people reduce behaviours that challenge. My approach is gentle and nurturing and prioritises the attachment bond.
When your loved one's behaviour is challenging, being their "person" can feel incredibly isolating and challenging. But you don't have to go at it alone! Together, we can understand why your loved-one does "that" behaviour and find gentle ways to reduce or stop it! Get in touch with me for support from someone who really gets it!

I am as real and pragmatic as they come! As a parent myself, I lead with humility and prioritise whats practical and possible. I also draw from gentle parenting, attachment parenting and "The Incredible Years" frameworks. I use Positive Behaviour Support to help parents identify what to do when your child is calm, or a little agitated, or in full "meltdown" mode!
