Parent Coaching & Counselling for Neurodivergent Kids

​

Parenting Support for When Your Beautifully Wired Cherub Doesn't Come With a Manual

​

You're tired of advice that doesn't fit your kid. Exhausted from strategies that work for "typical" children but completely miss the point for yours. You love your child fiercely, but some days you're just trying to survive, and the guilt about that is crushing.

You're not failing. You just need support that actually understands neurodivergent brains.

​

​

I Get It —Because I've Lived It (and continue to)

​

I'm Leanne, an accredited mental health social worker, neurodivergent and a mum who's raised two very different neurodivergent sons to adulthood. I've lived the school phone call dread, the supermarket meltdowns, the judgmental family comments. This isn't textbook advice, it's real-world support from someone who's been there and recognises that it's not a one size fits all approach to parenting.

 

What We Can Work On

​

The daily chaos: Sensory meltdowns, hyperactivity, PDA power struggles, RSD emotional storms, school refusal ("school can't"), morning battles, supermarket trauma, sleep issues, routine breakdowns

​

Understanding your child: What's happening in their brain, why traditional discipline fails, how to stop taking behaviour personally, recognizing dysregulation vs defiance

​

Your wellbeing: Stopping the guilt, school phone call PTSD, managing judgment, protecting your mental health, loneliness, finding your village

​

Complex dynamics: Co-parenting after separation, managing family responses, parenting a neurodivergent trans or non-binary young person, navigating systems that don't get it

 

Coaching, Counselling or Training (Or All Three)

 

Coaching = Practical strategies and tools for right now ("How do I handle morning meltdowns?")

Counselling = Processing your experience, guilt, grief, burnout, trauma ("Why do I feel like I'm failing?")

Training = Building your skills and knowledge to support your child's development and manage challenging situations

 

We don't have to choose. Most parents need all three at different times. Flexibility is key and we go where you need to go.

​

Parenting Stress & Your Relationship

​

If you're parenting with a partner or co-parenting, neurodivergent kids can add an extra 'interesting' layer. We can work on staying connected, getting on the same page, stopping the blame cycle, and protecting your relationship while being present for your kids.

 

What To Expect

​

Non-judgy (believe me I am the last to judge a parent of a neurodivergent child), down-to-earth space. Practical strategies you can use immediately, validation that you're not doing it wrong, and someone who actually gets it.

​

Sessions can be one-off or ongoing, whatever works for you.
