How Can I Help You Today?
Hi, it's nice to meet you - I'm Sara!
With over a decade as a primary headteacher and specialist in autism and neurodiversity (particularly in girls), I know the challenges children face; at home and in school. My work is rooted in lived experience, professional training, and deep empathy for what families and educators truly need.

The Three Little Steps Approach
Built on trust. Backed by experience. Focused on empowerment.
Step 1 – Trusting Partnerships
We build safe, respectful relationships first,
this is the foundation for everything else.
Step 2 – Practical Knowledge
Children, parents, and educators all gain real-life
tools to understand and manage emotions.
Step 3 – Empowered Independence
The goal is for children to apply these tools with growing
confidence, at home, in school, and in life.
