ADHD Coaching & Support Services for UK Families

Someone in your corner. Finally.

1-to-1 Coaching for parents in the UK.

I support parents and children to translate ADHD into something that actually makes sense in real life not just in reports, assessments or theory. Together, we turn “ADHD” from a confusing label into something you can understand, respond to, and work with day‑to‑day.

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in the cycle of second‑guessing yourself, I’ve been there! If you’re confused by mixed messages from school, professionals or Google, I’ve lived that too. If you’re trying to help your child while holding the rest of life together, you’re not alone.

That means:

  1. understanding what’s really driving behaviour

  2. reducing daily conflict

  3. building realistic routines

  4. supporting school conversations with confidence

    No overwhelm.

    No unrealistic expectations.

    No blame.

For families navigating daily life with ADHD diagnosed, undiagnosed, or somewhere in between. Real support for your child, and the tools to walk into any room and advocate powerfully for them.

If something here resonated — the exhaustion, the school battles, the feeling that nobody quite gets it — this call is for you.

No pitch. No pressure. Just a conversation with someone who knows the system, has lived the reality, and will not suggest a star chart.

Whether your child has a diagnosis, you're still waiting, or you're just starting to wonder — this is where we start.

EHCP evidence review - Tier 2 - starting deposit
£225.00

Tier 2: EHCP Evidence Review

From £225 | 90 minutes plus follow-up notes

From £225 | Support matched to where you are in the process - depending on the complexity

Best for parents who already have reports, school documents, emails, behaviour logs, attendance information, SEN plans or professional advice — but do not know how it all fits together.

Because no two cases are the same, this one isn't a fixed price. The £225 you pay here is a deposit that secures your place and gets the work started. Once I've reviewed your situation, I'll confirm the full price before going any further, and your £225 comes off that total. Nothing extra is charged without your say-so.

How it works:

  1. Pay the £225 deposit here.

  2. I'll send you a short intake form to tell me what's going on.

  3. I'll confirm the full price within two working days, with the deposit deducted.

  4. Once you're happy, I get to work.

If after reviewing your case I don't think I'm the right person to help, I'll say so and refund the deposit in full.

I review the key information with you and help identify what it shows, what it does not show, and what may need strengthening before you apply or challenge a decision.

This may include looking at:

  • School reports

  • SEN Support plans

  • IEPs / ISPs / APDR cycles

  • Educational psychologist reports

  • Speech and language reports

  • Occupational therapy reports

  • CAMHS or paediatric information

  • Attendance concerns

  • Behaviour records

  • Exclusion or reduced timetable information

  • Parent evidence from home

You leave with a clearer picture of your child’s needs, the key evidence, any gaps, and what needs to be pulled together next.

Best for: parents sitting with a pile of paperwork thinking, “I know this matters, but I do not know what I am looking for.”

Family Support Package From £795 - Deposit
£795.00

Family Support Package

From £795
Includes up to 6 x 60-minute support sessions, plus preparation, agreed between-session guidance and practical next steps.

For families who need deeper, sustained support over time.

This is not a one-off session. It is a structured package for families who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to tackle first — especially when difficulties are showing up across home, school, behaviour, emotional regulation, routines or family life.

The package is tailored to your family and may include a mixture of parent strategy sessions, child or young person support, school meeting preparation, SEND guidance, review of reports or targets, and practical support for home routines and emotional regulation.

What is included

Your package may include:

  • Up to 6 x 60-minute support sessions

  • Preparation and review time between sessions

  • Agreed between-session guidance for brief questions or clarification

  • Practical next steps after sessions, where appropriate

  • Review of key information shared by parents

  • Support that can be adapted as your family’s needs become clearer

A typical package may include:

1. Initial family consultation

We begin by looking at the full picture: home, school, behaviour, emotional regulation, routines, sleep, homework, friendships, siblings, communication with school, and what has already been tried.

This helps us understand what is actually driving the difficulties — not just what the behaviour looks like on the surface.

2. Parent strategy session

We look at what needs to change first and identify realistic strategies that fit your child, your family and your daily life.

This may include support around emotional regulation, meltdowns, demand overwhelm, transitions, consequences that are not working, or daily routines that have become exhausting.

3. Practical home support session

This session focuses on the pressure points at home.

That may include mornings, bedtime, homework, sibling conflict, screen-time battles, after-school collapse, getting out of the house, or the moments where everyone ends up shouting and nobody knows how it happened.

The aim is to build practical strategies that are realistic, not perfect-on-paper nonsense.

4. School and SEND guidance session

Where school is part of the concern, this session can focus on meetings, reports, targets, SEND provision, communication with school, or understanding what support your child may need.

This can help you feel clearer about what to ask for, what to challenge, and what needs to be recorded or followed up.

5. Child or young person support session

Where appropriate, your child or young person may receive direct support to help them understand how their brain works, recognise emotions, build confidence and develop practical tools for home and school.

This is age-appropriate, respectful and never patronising.

6. Review and next steps session

We review what is working, what is not working, and what needs adjusting.

This helps make sure the support does not just sound good in theory, but actually fits real family life. We then agree realistic next steps so you know where to go from here.

Between-session guidance

The package includes agreed between-session guidance for brief questions or clarification.

This is useful when something happens between sessions and you need a quick steer, clarification on a strategy, or help deciding what to do next.

It is not an emergency service or unlimited daily messaging, but it gives families a level of support and continuity that a one-off session cannot provide.

This package is suitable if:

  • You need more than a one-off session

  • You feel stuck in repeated patterns

  • Your child’s difficulties are affecting home, school or family life

  • You are exhausted from constantly firefighting

  • School and home are seeing different versions of your child

  • You need help understanding behaviour, emotional regulation or SEND needs

  • You want practical support that develops over time

You leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of what is going on

  • Practical strategies tailored to your child and family

  • A more coordinated approach across home and school

  • Realistic next steps you can begin using straight away

  • Support that can be reviewed and adapted

  • Less guilt, more confidence and a clearer way forward

For when everything feels stuck — and your family needs proper, sustained support rather than another quick fix.

Parent Strategy Sessions (ongoing support)
from £95.00

£95 per session | 60 minutes £270 for 3 sessions | £540 for 6 sessions

Ongoing support for parents who are stuck in patterns they can't break alone.

We go beneath the surface behaviour — the meltdowns, the mornings, the homework battles — and work out what's actually driving them. Then we build strategies that work with your child's ADHD brain, not against it.

You may need this if:

  • Mornings are chaos every single day

  • Homework regularly ends in tears — yours or theirs

  • Your child goes from calm to explosion with no warning

  • Consequences don't seem to work

  • You're exhausted from holding everything together

You leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of what is actually going on

  • Practical strategies matched to your specific child

  • Realistic next steps you can implement immediately

  • Less guilt, more confidence

EHCP & Support Guidance -Tier 3 - starting deposit
£350.00

Tier 3: EHCP Request Support

From £350 | structured support with parental views guidance

From £350 | Support matched to where you are in the process - depending on the complexity

Best for parents who are ready to request an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment and need help getting their information clear, organised and child-focused.

This support helps you prepare the request properly, so your concerns are not presented as scattered worry, but as a clear picture of your child’s needs, impact and required support.

Because no two cases are the same, this one isn't a fixed price. The £350 you pay here is a deposit that secures your place and gets the work started. Once I've reviewed your situation, I'll confirm the full price before going any further, and your £350 comes off that total. Nothing extra is charged without your say-so.

How it works:

  1. Pay the £350 deposit here.

  2. I'll send you a short intake form to tell me what's going on.

  3. I'll confirm the full price within two working days, with the deposit deducted.

  4. Once you're happy, I get to work.

If after reviewing your case I don't think I'm the right person to help, I'll say so and refund the deposit in full.

This may include:

  • Structuring your parental views

  • Identifying your child’s main areas of need

  • Linking needs to real examples from home and school

  • Highlighting what has already been tried

  • Showing why current support is not enough

  • Pulling together evidence in a logical way

  • Clarifying what you are asking the Local Authority to assess

You leave with a stronger, clearer EHCP request and a better understanding of how to present your child’s needs.

Best for: parents who know their child needs more, but need help turning the story into structured evidence.

What You Can Expect

This support is practical, honest and focused.

I will help you:

  • Understand where you are in the EHCP or SEND support process

  • Make sense of professional language

  • Identify what evidence matters

  • Spot gaps in support or paperwork

  • Prepare for meetings and reviews

  • Write clearer parental views

  • Ask better questions

  • Push back calmly and appropriately

  • Work out the next step without drowning in the whole process

The aim is not to turn you into a legal expert overnight.

The aim is to help you become a prepared, informed parent who understands what their child needs and can explain it clearly.

EHCP & Support Guidance: Tier 1: EHCP Clarity Session - starting deposit
£150.00

From £150 | Support matched to where you are in the process - depending on the complexity

The EHCP process can feel confusing, slow and completely overwhelming — especially when you are already trying to support a child who is struggling at home, at school, or both.

Because no two cases are the same, this one isn't a fixed price. The £150 you pay here is a deposit that secures your place and gets the work started. Once I've reviewed your situation, I'll confirm the full price before going any further, and your £150 comes off that total. Nothing extra is charged without your say-so.

How it works:

  1. Pay the £150 deposit here.

  2. I'll send you a short intake form to tell me what's going on.

  3. I'll confirm the full price within two working days, with the deposit deducted.

  4. Once you're happy, I get to work.

If after reviewing your case I don't think I'm the right person to help, I'll say so and refund the deposit in full.

This support is for parents who need clear, practical guidance through the EHCP or SEND support process without being buried under jargon, forms, deadlines and professional waffle.

Whether you are wondering if your child may need an EHCP, preparing to apply, writing your parental views, trying to understand reports, getting ready for an annual review, or dealing with a refusal from the Local Authority — I help you work out what matters, what evidence is needed, and what to do next.

This is not legal representation. It is calm, experienced, practical SEND guidance to help you feel less lost and more prepared.

This may be right for you if:

  • You think your child needs more support than school is currently providing

  • School keeps saying they are “monitoring” but nothing meaningful is changing

  • You are unsure whether your child may qualify for an EHCP

  • You have been asked to write parental views and do not know where to start

  • You have professional reports but are not sure what they actually mean

  • Your child already has an EHCP and an annual review is coming up

  • The Local Authority has said no and you do not know what your options are

  • You are exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone

Tiered EHCP Support Options

Tier 1: EHCP Clarity Session

60 minutes

Best for parents who are at the beginning and need to understand whether an EHCP may be the right next step.

In this session, we look at your child’s current situation, what support is already in place, what is not working, and whether there appears to be a case for requesting an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment.

This session can help you understand:

  • What an EHCP actually is

  • The difference between SEND Support and an EHCP

  • Whether your child’s needs may require provision beyond ordinary school support

  • What evidence you may already have

  • What evidence may still be missing

  • What the next realistic step should be

You leave with a clearer understanding of where you are, what to gather, and what to do next.

Best for: parents asking, “Do we need an EHCP, or am I overreacting?”

You are probably not overreacting. But we will check properly.

Payment/Deposit of £150 will be taken and I will then invoice / take a top up payment if the case turns out bigger.

EHCP Refusal, Pushback or “What Now?” Support - Tier 5 Starting Deposit
£375.00

Tier 5: Refusal, Pushback or “What Now?” Support

From £375 | depends on complexity

From £375 | Support matched to where you are in the process - depending on the complexity

Best for parents who have received a refusal to assess, refusal to issue, weak draft plan, unsuitable provision, or another Local Authority decision that has left them confused, angry or stuck.

This support helps you understand what the decision means, what your next options are, and what evidence may be needed if you decide to challenge it.

Because no two cases are the same, this one isn't a fixed price. The £375 you pay here is a deposit that secures your place and gets the work started. Once I've reviewed your situation, I'll confirm the full price before going any further, and your £375 comes off that total. Nothing extra is charged without your say-so.

How it works:

  1. Pay the £375 deposit here.

  2. I'll send you a short intake form to tell me what's going on.

  3. I'll confirm the full price within two working days, with the deposit deducted.

  4. Once you're happy, I get to work.

If after reviewing your case I don't think I'm the right person to help, I'll say so and refund the deposit in full.

This may include:

  • Understanding the Local Authority’s reasons

  • Identifying weaknesses or gaps in the decision

  • Looking at whether evidence has been missed

  • Helping you prepare your response

  • Clarifying next steps and timescales

  • Preparing for mediation conversations

  • Helping you organise your evidence before seeking legal or tribunal advice if needed

This is not legal representation, but it can help you become much clearer before you decide your next move.

Best for: parents who have received a “no” and need to understand whether it really means no — or whether it means “not yet, come back with stronger evidence.”

What You Can Expect

This support is practical, honest and focused.

I will help you:

  • Understand where you are in the EHCP or SEND support process

  • Make sense of professional language

  • Identify what evidence matters

  • Spot gaps in support or paperwork

  • Prepare for meetings and reviews

  • Write clearer parental views

  • Ask better questions

  • Push back calmly and appropriately

  • Work out the next step without drowning in the whole process

The aim is not to turn you into a legal expert overnight.

Child & Young Person Support - Deposit
£85.00

Child & Young Person Support

£85–£100 | 60 minutes

How it works

Booking and payment

A deposit of £85 secures your child’s session.

For many children and young people, this will be the full session price. If, once we start, it becomes clear that your child needs a more tailored or complex level of support, I will explain this clearly and let you know if the session will be charged at £100.

This may apply where I need to review additional background information, adapt the session more carefully, or prepare personalised resources.

If the higher rate applies, only the remaining £15 balance will be due.

No hidden extras. No awkward surprises. Just clear communication before we move forward.

Direct support for children and young people who are trying to understand themselves, their behaviour, their emotions, and why some parts of school or home life feel harder than they seem to for everyone else.

This is practical, respectful support that helps children make sense of how their brain works — without shame, blame, baby talk or patronising nonsense.

Because children often know something feels different.
They may not have the words for it yet.
They may think they are “naughty”, “lazy”, “too sensitive”, “always in trouble” or “just bad at things”.

They are not.

This session helps them begin to understand what is actually going on — and what they can do with that understanding.

This support can help with:

  • Understanding ADHD, autism, dyslexia, anxiety or neurodiversity in an age-appropriate way

  • Making sense of big feelings, meltdowns, shutdowns or emotional explosions

  • Recognising what happens in their body before they feel overwhelmed

  • Building confidence and self-understanding

  • Developing practical strategies for school, home, friendships and homework

  • Understanding why transitions, instructions, waiting, losing, writing or getting started can feel so hard

  • Learning how to ask for help without feeling embarrassed

  • Building a simple toolkit they can actually use

What we may cover

Depending on your child’s age and needs, the session may include:

  • A child-friendly explanation of how their brain works

  • Emotional awareness activities

  • Regulation strategies that are realistic, not fluffy

  • Confidence-building work

  • “What helps me” planning

  • School and home survival strategies

  • Identifying triggers and early warning signs

  • Simple language your child can use to explain what they need

  • Practical tools for routines, transitions, homework or friendship difficulties

The approach

This is not a lecture.

It is a calm, supportive conversation using child-friendly language, visuals, examples and practical tools. The aim is to help your child feel understood, not analysed.

They do not need to perform, sit perfectly, give impressive answers or pretend everything is fine.

The session meets them where they are.

Price difference explained

£85 is usually suitable for a straightforward 60-minute session where your child needs general support with understanding ADHD, neurodiversity, emotions, confidence or everyday challenges.

£100 applies when the session needs more preparation, adaptation or complexity, for example:

  • There are several areas of need involved

  • Your child needs a highly personalised approach

  • School reports, parent concerns or background information need reviewing beforehand

  • The session requires tailored visuals, scripts or follow-up guidance

  • The situation is more emotionally sensitive or complex

  • Support needs to link closely with school, SEND provision or existing professional advice

The price will always be agreed before booking, based on what your child needs.

Best for children and young people who:

  • Know something feels different but do not know how to explain it

  • Feel frustrated, overwhelmed or misunderstood

  • Struggle with emotional regulation

  • Find school or home routines difficult

  • Lose confidence because they are always being corrected

  • Need help understanding their ADHD or neurodivergent profile

  • Need practical tools that feel realistic, not childish

You leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of what your child is finding difficult

  • Practical strategies your child can begin using

  • Language your child can use to describe what helps

  • A stronger sense of confidence and self-understanding

  • Ideas for how home and school can support them more effectively

👉 For the child who knows something is different but does not know what to do with that yet.

School & Parent Support (Meeting / Advocacy)
£105.00

£105 | 60 minutes

For when school says one thing and home is living something completely different.

This 60-minute School & Parent Support Meeting is for parents who need help preparing for a conversation with school, a class teacher, SENCo, pastoral lead, local authority officer or another professional involved in their child’s education.

You may be facing repeated behaviour concerns, emotional meltdowns after school, school refusal, masking, unmet SEND needs, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, anxiety, friendship difficulties, reduced timetables, exclusions, or the classic line:

“They’re absolutely fine in school.”

Lovely. Except home is currently one missing shoe away from a full domestic collapse.

This session helps you walk into the meeting prepared, focused and clear about what your child needs — not apologising, over-explaining, or leaving with another vague promise to “monitor the situation.”

What this support helps with

This session can help you prepare for:

  • A meeting with your child’s teacher or SENCo

  • A SEND support review

  • An IEP, ISP or learning support meeting

  • Concerns around ADHD, autism, dyslexia, anxiety or emotional regulation

  • Behaviour meetings where your child is being seen as “naughty” rather than overwhelmed

  • School refusal, EBSA or attendance concerns

  • Friendship, playground or social communication difficulties

  • Discussions around reasonable adjustments and classroom support

  • Understanding whether your child’s needs are being properly identified

  • Preparing for EHCP conversations, evidence gathering or next steps

What we cover in the 60-minute session

We look at what is happening at home and school, what support is already in place, what is missing, and what needs to be asked for next.

This can include:

  • Meeting preparation and what to expect
    So you know how to structure the conversation and avoid being quietly spun in professional circles.

  • Understanding reports, targets and SEND provision
    We look at what the paperwork actually means, whether targets are specific enough, and whether support is clearly matched to your child’s needs.

  • What to say and how to say it
    I help you phrase your concerns clearly, firmly and professionally — without sounding aggressive, apologetic or emotionally steamrolled.

  • What to push back on
    Especially vague phrases like “we’ll keep an eye on it,” “they just need to try harder,” or “they’re fine once they’re in class.”

  • Knowing your rights under the SEND Code of Practice
    We look at what schools should be doing through the graduated approach: assess, plan, do and review.

  • Clear next steps
    You leave knowing what to ask for, what evidence matters, what needs to be put in writing, and what should happen next.

You may need this if:

  • School says your child is fine, but home is telling a very different story

  • You feel talked over, dismissed or fobbed off in meetings

  • You are unsure what support your child should be getting

  • You do not understand the reports, targets or SEND paperwork

  • Your child is masking all day and falling apart at home

  • Behaviour is being treated as defiance rather than distress

  • You are worried school is not recognising your child’s ADHD, autism, dyslexia or emotional needs

  • You want to attend a meeting feeling calm, prepared and credible

What you leave with

By the end of the session, you will have:

  • A clearer understanding of the key issues

  • A meeting plan

  • Questions to ask

  • Wording you can use

  • A better understanding of SEND support and next steps

  • Confidence about what to request

  • A stronger sense of what is reasonable, realistic and worth challenging

This is not about becoming a difficult parent.

It is about becoming a prepared parent.

The kind who walks into a school meeting knowing what matters, what to ask for, what needs recording, and when “we’ll monitor the situation” is simply not good enough.

Because monitoring is not a plan.
Support is a plan.
Clear targets are a plan.
Review dates are a plan.
Actual provision is a plan.

Telephone or Zoom

Additional time can be booked.

Annual Review Preparation - Tier 4 - starting deposit
£300.00

Tier 4: Annual Review Preparation

From £300 | meeting preparation and paperwork guidance

Because no two cases are the same, this one isn't a fixed price. The £300 you pay here is a deposit that secures your place and gets the work started. Once I've reviewed your situation, I'll confirm the full price before going any further, and your £300 comes off that total. Nothing extra is charged without your say-so.

How it works:

  1. Pay the £300 deposit here.

  2. I'll send you a short intake form to tell me what's going on.

  3. I'll confirm the full price within two working days, with the deposit deducted.

  4. Once you're happy, I get to work.

If after reviewing your case I don't think I'm the right person to help, I'll say so and refund the deposit in full.

Best for parents whose child already has an EHCP and an annual review is coming up.

Annual reviews can feel like a polite meeting where everyone talks around the real issues. This support helps you prepare properly so the review focuses on your child’s current needs, progress, provision and next steps.

This may include:

  • Reviewing current EHCP outcomes

  • Looking at whether provision is specific enough

  • Identifying what has changed since the last review

  • Preparing your parental views

  • Clarifying what you want discussed

  • Helping you identify what needs amending

  • Preparing questions for school or professionals

  • Thinking through what to say in the meeting

You leave knowing what needs raising, what evidence supports it, and what changes you may need to ask for.

Best for: parents who do not want to leave the annual review thinking, “I wish I had said that.”
