SEND & ADHD Support for UK Families
Someone in your corner. Finally.
"Not sure what SEND support your child needs?
You do not need to know which service to ask for before getting in touch.
ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, school difficulties, emotional regulation, EHCPs and wider SEND support can all overlap, and it is not always obvious where to begin.
I offer practical SEND advice, guidance and individual support for parents, grandparents and carers, including help with:
understanding your child’s needs
school and SENCo concerns
ADHD and SEND pathways
dyslexia and dyscalculia support
emotional and behavioural difficulties
EHCP questions
preparing for meetings
understanding reports and next steps
specialist 1:1 learning support
Have a look at the options below and choose the one that feels closest to where you are now.
Still unsure?
Book a free 30-minute call and we can work out the right starting point together.
A calm, no-pressure conversation giving you time to explain what is happening and work out what your next step could be.
This call is for parents, grandparents and carers of children with any diagnosed or suspected SEND—not only ADHD.
Your child may be experiencing difficulties connected with autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, anxiety, sensory needs, communication, learning, school attendance, emotional regulation or executive functioning. They may have several overlapping needs, or no diagnosis at all.
Children’s needs rarely arrive in neat, separate boxes. ADHD may overlap with autism, dyslexia, anxiety or sensory differences. A dyslexic child may also experience frustration, emotional overwhelm, shutdowns or meltdowns when learning demands repeatedly exceed the support available.
This is not a sales call. There is no hard pitch, no awkward pressure and absolutely no “book before midnight” nonsense.
During the call, we can talk about:
what is worrying you most right now;
what is happening at home, at school or both;
the difficulties or patterns you have noticed;
whether learning needs, masking, anxiety, sensory overload or emotional regulation may be part of the picture;
questions you may need to ask school, your GP, CAMHS or an assessment service;
which SEND, NHS or school-support pathway may be worth exploring;
whether ADHD in Practice is the right fit for your family.
Your child may already have a diagnosis, be waiting for an assessment or simply have you thinking, “Something isn’t adding up.”
You do not need to arrive knowing the correct terminology. You do not need to decide whether it is ADHD, autism, dyslexia or something else before speaking to me.
Just tell me what is happening. We can begin there.

Why book a free 30-minute call?
Sometimes you know something isn’t quite right, but you’re not sure what to do next.
You may be a parent, grandparent or carer worried about learning, behaviour, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, school support or a child who is simply finding everyday life harder than it should be.
This free 30-minute call gives you space to explain what is happening and ask the questions that have been going round in your head.
We can look at:
what is worrying you most
what you are seeing at home or school
what support is already in place
what may be worth exploring next
whether my support is right for your family
You do not need a diagnosis, referral or perfectly organised paperwork before you call.
There is no pressure to book anything afterwards.
The aim is simply to help you leave the conversation with a clearer idea of your next step.
Featured Services
You may have searched something specific.
You may have searched something vague.
“ADHD meltdowns after school.”
“Child fine at school but not at home.”
“EHCP help.”
“Why is homework destroying my family?”
“Is this ADHD, autism, anxiety — or am I just getting everything wrong?”
However you got here, you are probably looking for the same thing: clarity.
Start with Parent Clarity Support, this will help you understand what may be sitting underneath your child’s behaviour, what needs attention first, and what practical steps you can take next — at home, with school, and with the professionals around your child.
No judgement. No jargon. No “just be consistent.”
Just a clearer way forward.
Zoom or telephone call
A focused, parent support session to help you cut through the noise and work out what needs to change first.
Includes:
60-minute online consultation;
individual discussion of your child’s needs and current difficulties;
clear priorities and recommended next steps;
a concise written follow-up summary;
20-minute review call within four weeks.
This session is for parents who know something is not working, but are not sure what the next step should be.
You may be dealing with emotional outbursts, morning battles, school worries, homework stress, anxiety, suspected ADHD, autism, dyslexia, sensory needs, friendship difficulties, sleep issues, behaviour concerns, masking, low confidence or a child who seems overwhelmed by everyday demands.
You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis, a folder of reports or a perfect explanation.
You can start with:
“I know something is wrong, but I don’t know what to do next.”
That is enough.
Best for parents who:
feel overwhelmed and do not know where to start
are constantly firefighting behaviour at home
have tried strategies that worked for a week, then disappeared into the void
are unsure whether the difficulty is ADHD, anxiety, autism, dyslexia, school stress, sensory overload or something else
need help understanding what may be driving their child’s behaviour
want practical next steps, not judgement or generic advice
need someone experienced to help them see the wood for the trees
What we can explore
Depending on what is happening for your child, we may look at:
behaviour patterns at home or school
emotional meltdowns and regulation difficulties
morning routines, homework, bedtime or transitions
possible ADHD traits
anxiety, masking or school-related stress
dyslexia, learning difficulties or confidence issues
sensory needs or overwhelm
communication with school
whether further support, assessment or SEND advice may be needed
This is not about jumping to a label.
It is about understanding the barrier.
Once the barrier is clearer, the next step becomes much easier to choose.
You leave with:
a clearer picture of what may be driving your child’s behaviour
practical, realistic next steps
ideas you can actually use at home or in school conversations
a better sense of what to prioritise first
less guilt and more direction
This session may help if you are thinking:
“I don’t know if this is ADHD or something else.”
“School says things are fine, but home feels impossible.”
“We have tried reward charts and nothing sticks.”
“I am tired of guessing what my child needs.”
“I need help before I speak to school.”
“I just need someone to help me make sense of it all.”
Your starting point when everything feels too much
The Parent Clarity Call gives you space to pause, talk through what is happening, and leave with a clearer plan.
No judgement.
No jargon.
No pretending one sticker chart will fix family life by Friday.
Just practical parent support, clear thinking and a sensible next step.
The Parent Clarity Consultation includes a focused discussion, a concise written summary of the key priorities and agreed next steps, and one 20-minute review call to be used within four weeks. It does not include a formal assessment, diagnosis, detailed report, legal advice, extensive document review or ongoing email support. Any additional sessions or written work are booked separately.
60 minutes | Zoom or telephone
School meetings can feel overwhelming, especially when concerns are dismissed, support remains vague or home and school see very different versions of your child.
This focused consultation helps you organise your concerns, prepare what to say and decide what you need to ask for next.
It may be helpful when you are concerned about:
learning, behaviour or emotional regulation;
ADHD, autism, dyslexia or sensory needs;
anxiety, attendance or reduced timetables;
masking and after-school distress;
inconsistent or unclear SEN Support;
repeated promises to “monitor the situation” without a clear plan.
What we work on
Together, we will:
identify the main concerns and possible barriers;
organise the evidence that matters;
prepare your key questions;
develop clear, professional wording;
consider reasonable adjustments and support;
decide what actions and review dates to request.
This is not about preparing for a battle. It is about entering the conversation calm, focused and clear about what your child needs.
Your package includes
a 60-minute individual consultation;
a clear meeting plan;
questions and wording you can use;
a concise follow-up email confirming priorities and recommended actions;
one 20-minute review call within four weeks.
What you should leave with
You should feel clearer about:
what the main issues are;
what evidence to present;
what to ask school;
what support may be reasonable;
what should be recorded;
what needs to happen next.
Monitoring is not a plan unless everyone knows what is being monitored, how it will be recorded and when it will be reviewed.
Important boundaries
This package does not include attendance at the school meeting, legal representation, diagnosis, a formal report, extensive document review or ongoing email support. Additional sessions, written work or meeting attendance must be agreed and booked separately.

Not sure where to start?
If you are wondering whether your child may need an EHCP, feeling buried in paperwork, or simply thinking, “I have no idea what I am supposed to do next,” this free call is a good place to begin.
There is no sales pitch and no pressure.
Just 30 minutes to talk through what is happening, understand your options and work out the next sensible step.
Your child does not need to have a diagnosis. They may be waiting for assessment, already receiving SEND Support, or you may have heard the familiar phrase, “let’s wait and see.”
Sometimes waiting is reasonable. Sometimes it simply means another term goes by.

EHCP Guidance and Support
Applying for an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) can feel like being handed a legal process, several reports and a new vocabulary, then being expected to get on with it.
You do not have to navigate it alone.
As a former SENCo with over 30 years’ experience in education and SEND, I help parents understand the process, gather the right evidence and prepare for the conversations that matter.
My role is not to take over your voice. It is to help you use it with clarity and confidence.
What is an EHCP?
An EHCP is a legal document for children and young people aged 0 to 25 who need support beyond what is ordinarily available through SEND Support.
It sets out:
your child’s needs
the support they require
the outcomes being worked towards
the provision needed to help them make progress
Parents can request an EHC needs assessment themselves. You do not have to wait for school to make the request.
Why parents ask for EHCP support
You may need help because:
school says your child is coping
meetings leave you with more questions than answers
you are unsure what evidence matters
an assessment request has been refused
an annual review is approaching
reports are full of recommendations but little clarity
you simply want someone experienced in your corner
The aim is simple.
Understand the process. Know what matters. Go into the next step prepared.
Clear guidance when you do not know where to start
