About us

By year 1, having had a bad experience in school, my child was already suffering emotionally based school avoidance. A school move in year 4 helped for a short while, but by year 6 I had to make the decision to educate him at home.

I gave up my career, attended numerous meetings and appointments with a lot of different agencies.

8 years after the first GP referral I got a diagnosis for my child and then EHCP; but are still waiting for a suitable provision.

I am passionate about helping young people and their parents who find themselves in a similar situation.

I am a qualified, person-centred counsellor, experienced in working with young people.

Following my own daughters struggle with emotionally based school avoidance, the impact on her mental health and the overall impact on our whole family, I am keen to help other young people falling through the gaps as well as their parents who feel helpless.
