Work With Me
A psychologist + mum who understands real life, here to support your neurodivergent family where it matters most: in everyday moments.
You want things to feel easier for your child.
You want life to feel lighter for your family.
You want practical everyday support that actually makes sense, to understand what’s happening and what to do next in the real moments of your day.
Everything I offer is built around one idea:
Real progress happens in everyday life – in the mornings, the mealtimes, the meltdowns, the school run, the after-school crash – in the moments your child moves through each day.
3 Ways We Can Work Together
Each meets you at a different stage of the journey, but they all share the same heart: clarity, calm, and practical support for your child in everyday life (in a way that fits your family).
Progress in Practice
A family-centred support package for parents of neurodivergent kids.
If you’re wanting practical support for everyday life — something that helps you understand your child, make sense of the tricky moments, and feel clearer about what to pay attention to next — this is the place to start.
Progress in Practice helps you:
- understand what’s really happening under the behaviour
- make sense of the moments that keep looping
- feel clearer about where your energy is most needed
- respond in ways that are grounded in your child’s needs and your family’s reality
Your Family Support Map is a personalised, strengths-focused document shaped around the areas that feel most challenging for your child right now. It offers clear explanations of what sits beneath these challenges and practical ideas to focus on in the small, repeated moments of daily life, alongside linked videos and resources that expand on each area.
Everything is organised so you can understand what’s happening, why it matters, and what’s most helpful to pay attention to in everyday life.
My aim is to help you make sense of the information you already have, so you can move toward greater clarity about what matters most, feel steadier in the day-to-day, and see how to support your child in ways that fit real life.
Paper to Practice
Turn information into practical support you can use in real life.
If you already have reports, assessments, or recommendations — but still feel unsure what it all means for daily life — Paper to Practice is for you.
This process helps you:
- understand your child’s reports in plain language
- find clarity on what matters most right now
- turn goals into small, doable steps
- build supports into everyday life
Your Everyday Support Guide is created as part of the process — a concise, strengths-based document that brings together the key information from your child’s reports and explains it in everyday language. It outlines the goals we’ve identified and offers practical tips that fit real-life moments, organised so you can see what matters most and ways to work on this in the moments that come up each day.
My aim is to help you understand what may be beneath those tricky moments, so the sudden shifts that come with parenting a neurodivergent child feel a little less bewildering and more manageable.
Initial Parent Session
When you’re not sure where to start… start here.
Sometimes you just need someone to talk things through with — someone who understands neurodivergent kids and can help you figure out what’s going on and what to do next.
In this session we’ll:
- talk through what you are noticing
- identify patterns and priorities
- clarify what kind of support will help most
- map out your best next steps
My aim is to assist with finding a clearer sense of what’s happening and how to move forward – whether you continue with me or another service that’s the best fit for your family.
Why Parents Work With Me
I’m Emma — a psychologist and a mum in a neurodivergent family.
My work is shaped by both my professional experience and the reality of raising three neurodivergent kids. I understand how much is happening beneath the surface in everyday moments, and I focus on helping parents make sense of and support those patterns in a way that actually fits real life.
At the centre of my approach is a simple philosophy:
the most meaningful growth for our kids happens in the everyday moments — the messy, ordinary interactions that shape their learning, regulation, confidence, and connection.
That’s where we can see patterns clearly, understand what sits underneath behaviour, and support growth that feels natural and workable for your family.
My work is grounded in what actually helps:
real life first,
collaborative next steps,
whole-family foundations,
moving through the messy moments,
and small shifts that add up over time.
If you want support that’s affirming, practical, and made for real families — you’re in the right place.
