Autism Services
With over 20 years of experience working in the field of autism, I bring a deep understanding and compassionate approach to supporting children with ASD and their families. I have received training from the Autism Education Trust (AET) and have worked extensively with children across the spectrum, including those with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile, helping them transition successfully into educational settings. I recognise that supporting a child with autism can be both rewarding and challenging for families, and I aim to ease that journey through the use of a wide range of tailored strategies. These include social stories, scenario cards, visual timetables, multi-sensory planning, alternative communication systems, Proprioceptive Strategies, the 5 Point Scale, and the use of scripts—all designed to create a supportive and structured environment that promotes confidence, communication, and emotional wellbeing.
Bespoke Programmes
£75 per hour
Each personalised session is designed to meet the unique needs of your family, providing practical support for challenges associated with ASD-related behaviours. By working collaboratively with parents, children, and, where appropriate, siblings, we focus on key areas such as social interaction, social anxiety, communication, routines and transitions, emotional regulation and sensory processing.
Support may be offered as a one-off planning session or as part of a short-term programme with clear, achievable goals
ASD Screener
£75 per hour
This comprehensive screening involves dedicated time with your child or young person, along with valuable input from parents, carers, and other relevant professionals. The process culminates in a detailed written summary, highlighting any traits associated with autism. This report can serve as helpful supporting evidence when pursuing an ASD assessment through your GP or school.
Bespoke Workshops
£75 per hour
These one-hour online workshops are designed for parents, carers, and families looking to gain a deeper understanding of ADHD. Each session offers practical strategies, relevant insights, and supportive guidance to help you feel more confident in understanding and supporting your child.
ASD Advocacy
£75 per hour
I work in partnership with families and schools to bridge the gap between home and educational settings. Using my experience in SEND, I support families by facilitating communication, arranging meetings, sharing observations, and helping advocate for referrals and the right support for your child.
