You may be a parent striving to understand your child who visibly and emotionally struggles with day-to-day life and cannot seem to fit into society. Perhaps you’re feeling helpless and alone as your child grapples with understanding the world around them, possibly facing intolerance and mockery. Communication barriers can arise as your child becomes frustrated when they cannot be understood or understand others, often leading to challenging behaviour. As a parent or carer, you too may be experiencing heartbreak and feel as though you’re on an emotional rollercoaster.

You might find yourself on a long waiting list for CAMHS support and feel that you’ve done all you can to guide and support your child. Throughout my teaching career and work with young adults, I have come to understand the many challenges they and their families face in a sensory-overloaded, fast-paced world. I recognize the importance of having someone who truly listens and understands, from firsthand experience, the feelings of anxiety, frustration, and hopelessness that manifest in everyday life.
