ADHD Parenting Support and SEND Guidance in the UK for Real Families
What if your child looks perfectly fine at school, yet home feels like a daily emotional avalanche? What if teachers say “no concerns” while you’re dealing with overwhelm, shutdowns and after‑school collapse? This is where ADHD parenting support in the UK actually begins: with the version of your child that only you see.
I help parents understand the gap between school and home, especially when masking, perfectionism or quiet distress are part of the picture. If you’re nodding already, you’re in the right place.
Helping you understand your child’s behaviour, navigate school meetings, EHCPs and SEND processes, and make informed decisions.

Does any of this sound familiar?
Every family's journey is different. You don't need to read everything; just start with the challenge that feels most like yours right now.
“School says they’re absolutely fine.
School sees a child who appears settled and compliant. Home sees exhaustion, anger, tears or collapse. Both versions can be true.

“Dyslexia & Literacy
My child is clever but reading and spelling are a nightly battle. The school says “just needs more practice” and it isn’t working. I don’t know how to get a dyslexia assessment in the UK, or if I even need one.”
“Homework has become a nightly battle.
When homework isn’t the real problem anymore. It’s the tears before you even begin. When you are exhausted it is hard to find more head space to complete more school work!”
“Autism, sensory needs or something more?
Your child may be social, verbal or academically able and still be overwhelmed by sensory, social or emotional demands.”
“Not sure yet, or it’s more than one of these.
I don’t know where to start, or what to even ask for. The waiting list for assessment is over a year and I need help now, not eventually.”

Why parents work with me
You don't need another person telling you what your child should be doing. You need someone who will help you understand why things are difficult and what you can actually do about it.
Whether you're worried about ADHD or wider SEND, facing another school meeting, waiting for an assessment, considering an EHCP, or simply thinking, “Something isn't adding up,” I can help you make sense of what is happening.
Together, we look at the whole picture: what you see at home, what school is seeing, where your child is struggling and what may be getting missed.
Then we turn that understanding into clear, practical next steps for home, school and everyday life.
No jargon. No judgement. No one-size-fits-all advice.
Just experienced, practical support centred around your child and your family.
