My Story 

Hi, I’m Nic — an Emotional Coach and Mentor supporting neurodivergent children aged 4 to 16, both in and out of school. I work across Surrey and surrounding areas (travel by arrangement), offering 1:1 sessions, home visits, and group support — including my popular after-school club, Calm Crew.

As a mum of three neurodivergent children — and someone with ADHD myself — I truly understand the overwhelm, the need for advocacy, and the small everyday wins that matter most. I was that parent chasing assessments, fighting for EHCPs, and navigating meetings with tears and spreadsheets in equal measure. Now, with my eldest off to university, I use my lived experience and professional training to support children and families on their own journeys.

Why My Approach is Different

This is a practical, empowering emotional coaching that’s solution-focused, playful, and completely led at the child’s pace. My work is built on trusted relationships, which are often the missing piece in traditional support. I don’t just “manage behaviour” — I help children understand what’s going on underneath.

Because let’s face it — a meltdown is rarely about a lost shoe.

I bring over seven years of experience working in:

• Mainstream, SEN & alternative provision settings

• Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) roles in schools

• 1:1 support for children with additional needs 

• EOTAS (Education Otherwise Than at School) and home-education environments

• Founder of Calm Crew – a well-being after school club in Surrey schools

I’m also a:

• Qualified ADHD Coach

• Certificate in NCFE BACP Counselling level 1,2,3

• NCFE CACHE Level 2 certified in Understanding Autism

• Certified Mental Health First Aider (MHFA)

• I support children who often don’t fit into the mainstream mould — those who are sensitive, misunderstood, or simply need a different kind of approach to thrive

• Enhanced DBS

What You Can Expect

• Creative, hands-on and movement-based sessions

• Individualised support that adapts as your child grows

• Focus on emotional awareness, social connection & resilience

• A calm, consistent adult who really gets them

If you’re looking for real support — with no judgment and maybe a half-drunk cup of tea nearby — I’d love to connect.

"Nic has shown a wonderful understanding of them as individuals, which has made the biggest difference. The children still speak highly of her to this day".
