Peer Support

for Families exploring ADHD and autism, or already diagnosed/h2>

Emotional & Sensory Support • Practical Strategies • Parental Wellbeing

About This Service

I am a parent of a neurodivergent child and offer uniquely peer-led support informed by professional experience. I have a background as a mental health nurse and DBT therapist, which supports my understanding of emotion regulation, sensory differences, and family wellbeing. This service is offered independently of my NHS employment.

What I Offer

• Understanding, validation, and emotional support for parents and carers
• Practical strategies for everyday family life
• Support to better understand sensory differences, emotional responses, and overwhelm
• Support for families whose children are diagnosed, awaiting diagnosis, or exploring neurodivergence
• Parent-focused support, and where appropriate, separate age-appropriate conversations with children to support understanding of differences

Important to Know

• Peer-led, supportive, and preventative service
• Not diagnostic or clinical
• No crisis intervention or risk management
• Clear professional and safeguarding boundaries
• Signposting to statutory and third-sector services where appropriate
• This service is not affiliated with, commissioned by, or delivered on behalf of the NHS
• This work cannot influence or inform assessment processes

Who This Is For

• Parents and carers of children with ADHD and/or autism
• Families at any stage of the diagnostic journey
• Those seeking peer support informed by lived experience

Pricing: £60 per hour for online/remote sessions. In-person sessions available across North Yorkshire — pricing dependent on location.
