Do you feel like you give everything to support your child but feel like it's not enough?


Are you left exhausted and feel like you are failing as a parent even though you are doing your best? 


We are all told parenting is hard, but nobody prepares us for parenting children who are developing differently in a society that doesn't understand them or how to meet their basic needs!

I've been here too... 

When my children were young I felt so alone.

All I wanted was for my children to learn, grow, and be happy. Even though I had a degree in child development, studied disability, education and attachment, and worked in the disability sector before having my own children, nothing seemed to be working.

What worked for other kids did not work for mine, and we were all unhappy, the opposite of what I was striving for.

As a mum of 2 neurodivergent kids, I know what it’s like to:

  • be on high alert every moment just to get through the day
  • get so caught up trying to manage everything that I often missed the joyful moments right in front of me
  • feel alone on this journey and that nobody else truly understands

After hitting breaking point, I developed a sustainable model and framework for parenting neurodivergent kids centred on relationship safety and secure attachment. I then begun supporting other parents to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to mentor and guide their children, as well as honour their own needs to thrive as a parent and carer.

I want you to experience this too!

We are all on this parenting journey together and we really do need each other's support.

Neurodivergent Affirming

Parent Mentoring & Support with Kate

Kate helps parents develop a new framework for life that reflects on the child’s, the parent’s, and the whole family's capacity. 

Personalised & tailored to you and your family.

I know all too well that no two children are the same, and therefore their care needs will be different and most likely their own expectations will be different. I deeply understand from a lived perspective what this is like as a parent, and also working as a teacher.

I help you to unpack this.

I teach people to be more responsive an attuned to themselves as parents, and their whole family.

We take a holistic approach, where we look at the family system and prioritise what is manageable for you and for the whole the family.

 

Through our 1:1 Parent Consults you will learn HOW to be neuroaffirming and receive personalised mentoring, guidance and specialised support from me, Kate.

I use my unique ability to collect and synthesise data and information from you and apply a neuroaffirming lens to everyday challenges to provide you with curated  recommendations specific to you and your family.

You will be empowered with creative and unique solutions that are simply not possible with the traditional parenting lens. 

Together we will develop a new framework for life that reflects the whole family capacity, including yours.

What Our Clients Have To Say

In short, I think you're pretty rad!

"Your advice for me personally, was in short, pretty revolutionary,
and you've given me both food for thought and the impetus to make some important changes. In short, I think you're pretty rad! 😀"

Cat
Parent of 10 yr old boy, Autistic & Gifted

A deep sense of understanding and compassion for ourselves and each other

"I would describe Kate as a gently bubbling spring of infinite knowledge and resources. Sessions with her prompt me to re-examine my own ideas, and really see the world through my child's own unique perspective.

Kate helps me to find practical and flexible ways that work for the whole family to make our home a calmer and happier place.

Kate has really helped me to view my child (and myself!) from an entirely different lens which has provided us with such a deep sense of understanding and compassion for ourselves and each other as we navigate life. " 

Nicole
Mum of 7 yr old AuDHD PDAer

Affirmation, understanding and helpful ways forward

"We have been working with Kate for some years now and talking with her never fails to bring affirmation, understanding and helpful ways forward.

Kate not only has a huge bank of knowledge in the areas of giftedness and neurodiversity but has years of experience of living the life of neurodivergence. Thank you for all that you do, Kate!"

Alice
Homeschooling parent to two children with profiles of
Autism, ADHD disgraphia, tourettes, coeliacs disease and anxiety

You are the first professional that really 'gets it'!

"I just wanted to thank you for today's group session. Listening to you was the first time I have felt that any professional really 'gets it' in terms of what we are experiencing. Everything you covered was incredibly helpful and will definitely help me to support my child at home."

Mother of 13 yr old Autistic daughter

I will let you come back

"I don't like many people, but you’re OK, I will let you come back"

BB, 14 yr old, Autistic

It's magic how you embed so much learning without her knowing

"You just seem to weave so much richness into everyday tasks with Miss 13. It's magic how you can follow her lead and embed so much learning without her knowing"

Parent of 13 yr old girl, Gifted, Autistic & PDA

You are not like other therapists

"What is your job? You're not like other therapists, this is fun"

Boy 8 yrs, Gifted & Autistic

I highly recommend Kate as a therapist and champion of PDA

"Working with Kate and my 12 yo PDAer has been life changing for our family. We felt heard, understood and Kate gave us simple practical ideas to make life smoother.

She helped us to set realistic goals and work toward them in a way our child needed. She is compassionate, fun and great with our child.

Not only did she help our child but helped myself and my husband to get through some challenging times.

I highly recommend Kate as a therapist and champion of PDA."

Michelle, Mum of 12 yr old PDAer

Hello! I'm Kate!

With over 20 years of professional experience in the disability and educational sectors, and a lifetime of lived experience, I provide uniquely authentic, compassionate neurodivergent-led education and support.

As a mum of 2 neurodivergent kids, I know what it’s like to felt so overwhelmed with the task of raising neurodivergent children who were not thriving or happy. I decided that I needed to learn more to try and figure out how to create a thriving family, so I studied professional courses on neuroscience and developmental research but all it did was confirm what I already knew, that relationship safety and secure attachment were key.

I developed a sustainable way to parent neurodivergent kids with high needs - a model that honoured me and my needs as well as my children and their needs.

I began supporting other parents to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to mentor and guide their children. This was the birth of Dynamic Parenting.

If you are ready to take the steps to becoming a Dynamic Parent and creating a strong relationship with your child please reach out, I would love you to join us.
