How can I help you?

Worried about your child!

I am here to help you on the next step of your journey be it related to choosing the right type of therapy, assessment, school, or simply helping you to further understand your child’s challenges and how to offer the right support. 

Every child is unique and we will work together to see your child through a different lens and unlock their potential. 

I offer a compassionate space for you to grow, connect, and navigate the journey of parenting with more confidence and self-understanding, helping you build deeper, more meaningful connections with your children and yourself.

Together, we’ll explore practical tools and supportive approaches that honour both your needs and those of your family, creating a balanced and nurturing environment from which to flourish. 

Dyslexia is often seen in isolation to other learning difficulties, but there is usually an overlap and sometimes we need to look a little deeper.

I work with a wide range of assessment tools looking at your child’s strengths and weaknesses, coordination, balance, attention and behaviour as well as standardised tests for IQ, reading, spelling writing and comprehension.

You will receive a written report and have a follow up conversation outlining what strategies and recommendations would be most helpful for the next step of your journey.

Reflexes are an innate series of developmental movements all babies make which lay the foundations for posture, sensory processing, emotions and brain development. Sometimes, through trauma, illness or for other reasons, this process is disrupted and the reflexes stay active leading to a range of neurodevelopmental challenges including:

• Autism

• Gross and fine motor skills

• Developmental delays

• Coordination & balance

• Attention & concentration

• Learning difficulties

• Social, emotional & behavioural difficulties

• Sensory integration

See https://www.rhythmicmovement.org/ for more information.

I will carry out a full assessment of these early childhood reflexes, in your home or school setting. You and your school will receive a program that integrates these natural movements in a fun and interactive way which can be incorporated into the working day.

I oversee the program and help you to understand why your child has been experiencing  difficulties. If we work together as a team, it is fun and easy to do enabling your child to more fully engage with school and in the home.

Between 6-12 sessions are usually needed to make positive long lasting change but we will review the program after 6 sessions. 

Some children really struggle to focus and learn in the classroom which often leads to poor behaviour and teaching to overcome the thing they are struggling with doesn’t always help. It is very important to know why they are finding it hard before setting targets and expectations and therefore to minimise the feeling of failure.

My talks and training for teachers and staff will equip participants with the confidence to use a program of movements and activities to support learning.

Step 1: Workshop
You will:
• Understand the developmental stages of learning and the underlying causes of a learning difficulty.
• Learn how to identify the children who need it the most.
• Gain the skills to confidentially use a sensory and developmental checklist.

Step 2: Training
You will:
• Actively take part in further activities to support balance, coordination and sensory integration which can be used in the classroom.
• Experience setting up a sensory circuit.
• Practise specialised movements for children who need more support.

Step 3: Support
You will:
• Have the opportunity to review the program.
• Receive support for identifying the children with underlying difficulties.
• Receive support to monitor the children’s progress.
• Share how to work with smaller groups and individuals during the school day.
