Online Workshops
As well as 1:1 coaching, I offer online parent workshops via zoom. Most of my workshops are organised in small groups, which allows greater opportunities for parents to ask questions and share, in a more informal, supportive and relaxed atmosphere. It also helps me to tailor the sessions to the needs of the group, giving more personalised support. See below for upcoming workshops and dates.

Regulation Series - Group Coaching
The next series starts on WEDNESDAY 24th SEPTEMBER.
My five week series is a perfect introduction to better understanding regulation challenges for your neurodivergent child, and how to begin supporting them at home and school. This series is perfect for you if you are looking to learn more about your child’s BIG emotions, fluctuating capacity, sensory triggers, what dysregulation can look like and how it might be masked, how to support your child during and after a meltdown and the development of emotional regulation.
Although the workshops are designed as a series, they can be booked individually.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR DYSREGULATED CHILD - Week 1: Regulation Series (Group Coaching)
Monday 1st September, 8.30pm £35
The first workshop will be an introduction and overview to understanding the reasons as to why your neurodivergent child might be dysregulated, and an overview of different sensory profiles. We will explore sensory triggers, what dysregulation can look like and how it can be missed or masked both at home and in school. I will explain different concepts to better understand how dysregulation is cumulative and how this might be presenting through challenging behaviour/big emotions at home. We will discuss your child’s nervous system and how their sensory needs might affect regulation.
SUPPORTING YOUR DYSREGULATED CHILD - Week 2: Regulation Series (Group Coaching)
Monday 8th September, 8.30pm £35
The second workshop will focus on practical strategies to support your dysregulated child. I will be concentrating on proactive parenting tools that can be put in place daily and across the week, both at home and when travelling away from home. We will briefly discuss support in school, but this is explored further in my ‘Advocating for your child in school’ workshop.
For both of these workshops, I will be drawing upon all my professional experience and training, as well as parenting a neurodivergent child to offer advice and support. The series is run as group coaching with lots of discussions in-between sessions, and group reflection.
BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL SUPPORT - Week 3: Regulation Series (Group Coaching)
Monday 15th September, 8.30pm £35
This workshop would also also helpful for children who don’t go to school (home ed families), focusing on routines before and after days out or big events as well as regulation throughout the day.
The workshop will focus on how to support your child before and after school (morning and end of the day routines), exploring a range of regulation ideas and strategies to support your neurodivergent child. I will discuss how to create opportunities for sensory play, calming sensory input, as well as discussing how to plan the right activities in the afternoon. We will look at how to create morning routines that might work for your child, and how the journey to school can be used to support regulation. The workshop will also cover how to use regulation tools and buffers around challenging parts of the week, and how these might be used at the weekend to support your child.
MELTDOWNS - Week 4: Regulation Series (Group Coaching)
Monday 22nd September, 8.30pm £35
In this workshop we will start by looking at the difference between meltdowns, tantrums and shut downs and beginning to understand why they might happen. We will then explore how to support your child in the moment (during a meltdown) including words/phrases that might be helpful and how to create a mantra to support you as the parent/carer. I will be discussing how and when to discuss challenging behaviours with your child and how best to support their nervous system after a meltdown. The workshop will also cover how to manage meltdowns in public, what is the meltdown-loop and how to regulate yourself when your child having a meltdown. This workshop can be a stand alone, but I will be referring back to topics discussed in Part 1 of the Regulation series as they are designed to support you best as a series.
EMOTIONAL REGULATION - Week 5: Regulation Series (Group Coaching)
Monday 29th September, 8.30pm £35
What is emotional regulation? What does emotional dysregulation look like? In this workshop we will discuss age appropriate expectations of child development and understanding the development of self-regulation and the importance of mutual/co-regulation. We will also look at the pros and cons of using zones of regulation with neurodivergent children, the role of modelling and using explicit regulating language at home as well as helping children to visualise emotions and how feelings move through our bodies.
There will be lots of practical strategies for helping your child to develop and learn self-regulation skills, including how to use books and tv characters to support children as an effective strategy and learning resource.
Education - What are your options? (New date to be confirmed)
The Education workshop will be part led by the questions and needs of the small group, but covers the following areas:
flexi-schooling
alternative school settings
home education and the many different ways this can be approached including online schooling, tutors (1:1 at home, in groups, virtual), home ed groups, unschooling, following the National Curriculum, qualifications later on in school life (GCSEs, A Levels)
Local Authority communication and yearly reports
current laws for home educating and proposed changes with the CWS Bill.
How to talk to your neurodivergent child about their diagnosis - New date to be confirmed
A highly requested workshop! How do you start to explain a diagnosis with your child? What does it mean to be autistic or dyslexic? What does an ADHD diagnosis mean? What strategies or ideas will help open up this discussion with your child?
The workshop will cover how to explain the neurodivergent brain, possible challenges and also your child’s strengths.
I will also discuss the importance of conversations with siblings and other family members, and how to open a discussion around neurodiversity.
