1:1 Student Support

We offer individual and small-group therapeutic support for neurodivergent children and young people.

Our approach is tailored, neuroaffirming and focused on helping each young person better understand themselves, communicate their needs, build confidence and navigate the demands of school and everyday life in ways that work for them.

Here are just some of the advantages of our support.

Tailored Support

Support is shaped around the individual child or young person, taking account of their strengths, interests, communication style, sensory profile, experiences and areas where they may benefit from additional support.

Emotional Regulation

Helping children and young people recognise and understand their emotions, identify what helps them feel regulated, and develop strategies for managing overwhelm, anxiety or frustration in ways that feel safe and supportive.

Relationships and Social Understanding

Supporting children and young people to understand relationships, social situations and communication in ways that respect their individual style rather than teaching them to appear more neurotypical.This may include exploring friendships, boundaries, misunderstandings, self-advocacy and ways of communicating needs clearly.

Practical Strategies and Self-Advocacy

Helping children and young people identify what supports them with sensory differences, transitions, uncertainty and everyday demands.

We focus on practical strategies that increase understanding, choice and self-advocacy rather than expecting the young person to simply tolerate environments that are overwhelming.

Confidence and Neurodivergent Identity

Providing a safe space for the child or young person to express themselves without judgement, restoring and enhancing their self-esteem and confidence.

Communication and Self-Expression

Supporting children and young people to recognise, express and communicate their needs, emotions and preferences in ways that work for them. This may include verbal and non-verbal communication, self-advocacy, recognising when they need support and helping the adults around them respond more effectively.

Support for Parents

We can also work alongside parents and carers to help them better understand their child’s neurodivergent profile, recognise what may be contributing to distress or overwhelm, and develop supportive approaches that build on the child’s strengths and needs.

Understanding Behaviour

Behaviour is communication. We look beyond the behaviour itself to understand what may be driving it, such as sensory overload, anxiety, uncertainty or unmet needs, and identify supportive changes that reduce distress.

Supporting Participation in Education

When a young person feels safer, better understood and more regulated, they may find it easier to engage with learning and school life. Our focus is on supporting wellbeing and meaningful participation rather than measuring success purely through academic performance

Individual support, shaped around the young person

Support can be delivered individually or in a small group and can be adapted to the needs of the child, family and educational setting.

If you are unsure what type of support may be most helpful, we are happy to talk through your concerns and discuss the options available.
