Family Services

Every family wants the best for their child, and every child deserves access to the right support tailored to their individual needs.

Navigating the SEND system can often feel overwhelming and, at times, frustrating. I offer a range of services designed to support families through this process. I will help you feel informed, empowered, and confident in securing the right outcomes for your child.

The examples below highlight just some of the ways I support families, schools, and children but every situation is unique. I offer fully bespoke support packages shaped around your individual needs, goals, and circumstances. Whether you're seeking one-off advice or longer-term input, we’ll work together to create a plan that feels right for you. With experience and compassion at the heart of my practice, I’m committed to offering flexible, personalised support, and will provide reassurance, clarity, and meaningful progress every step of the way.

Consultations

£75 per hour

Understanding and navigating the SEND system can be challenging, especially when you're trying to make the right decisions for your child. I offer consultations to support parents and carers with clear, practical guidance tailored to your needs.

Focus consultations can include:

  • Online meetings to explore your child’s needs and next steps

  • Help understanding professional reports

  • Signposting to further services

  • Advice on requesting the right support

  • Guidance on accessing assessment pathways

These sessions are designed to help you feel more informed, confident, and supported throughout your journey.

£150

I offer a support package for Annual Reviews and SEND meetings, designed to help you feel prepared, supported, and confident throughout the process. This includes:

  • A pre-meeting consultation with parents/carers to discuss the purpose of the meeting, priorities, and any concerns

  • Online attendance at the Annual Review or SEND meeting to advocate for the child or young person’s needs

  • A post-meeting debrief to reflect on outcomes and agree next steps

My role is to work alongside you and the professionals involved to ensure your child’s needs are clearly understood and effectively represented.

Annual Reviews & SEND Meetings

Observations & Screeners

£75 per hour

I work directly with children and young people to gather independent evidence of their needs through the use of screening tools and observations. This includes screening for indicators of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and dyslexia.

Each screening is thorough and involves time spent with the child or young person, along with input from parents, carers, and other relevant professionals. Following this process, a detailed summary report is provided.

This report highlights areas where the child or young person may be showing signs of neurodiverse needs and can be used as supporting evidence when seeking further assessment—such as an ADHD referral—through your GP or school.

EHCNA Package

£350

Applying for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA) can be a complex and time-consuming process. I offer comprehensive support to guide families through each stage, ensuring the application is clear, detailed, and fully represents the child’s needs.

This package includes:

  • An initial online consultation to explain the process and gather key information

  • A meeting with the child or young person, where appropriate, to understand their views and experiences

  • Collating, writing, and submitting the paperwork for a needs assessment, with the goal of securing an EHCP

  • Liaising with the school and gathering relevant information and supporting evidence

  • A follow-up online consultation after the Local Authority’s decision, offering advice on next steps

Bespoke Workshops

£75 per hour

I offer one-hour, online tailored workshops and sessions for parents and carers, focusing on specific areas of need identified by you or by professionals working with your child. These sessions are designed to offer practical guidance, helpful strategies, and insights that can be put into practice straight away.

Recent workshops have included topics such as Supporting Your Child at Risk of Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) and Understanding Triggers for a Child with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). Each session is personalised to your child’s unique situation and aims to support you in feeling more confident and equipped in your role.

EHCP Package

£300

Reviewing an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) can be a detailed and overwhelming process. This support package is designed to help families feel confident that the EHCP accurately reflects their child’s needs and aligns with professional advice.

This package includes:

  • An initial online consultation to discuss concerns and priorities

  • A thorough review and suggested amendments to EHCP

  • Cross-checking the EHCP against professional reports and recommendations

  • Reviewing Assess, Plan, Do, Review (APDR) documents

  • A follow-up online consultation to share the amended EHCP and offer guidance on next steps

This service helps ensure your child’s EHCP is as robust, accurate, and effective as possible.
