About Emma
If you’re here, I’m guessing you’re exhausted. Not just tired – but emotionally wiped out, stretched too thin, and carrying far too much for far too long. You’re holding everything together for your family, doing your best every day, and wondering if it’ll ever get easier. I see you. Because I was you.
I’m Emma, a mum to two autistic children, one with a PDA profile. I’ve lived through the meltdowns, the school trauma, the child-to-parent outbursts, the EHCP battles. I’ve felt the rage, the fear, the shame – the quiet kind you carry alone because you’re scared of being judged if you speak it out loud.
For a long time, I thought it was all my fault. That I just wasn’t doing it right.
What I know now is this – you’re not failing. You’re surviving a life that most people couldn’t even imagine. And you deserve support too.
How I help
I support parents and carers of SEN and neurodivergent children – especially those raising PDAers – to feel more in control, calmer in the chaos, and more connected to themselves again. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned – from lived experience, years of trial and error, extensive research, and trying every strategy I could get my hands on – and created practical, realistic tools that actually work in families like ours. Not perfect solutions. Not magic wands. But solid, grounding things that can help you feel more human again.
When you work with me, I’ll guide you to build your own toolkit – one that gives you moments of calm, pockets of time for you, and the mindset to cope when the shit hits the fan (because it still does, regularly, even here).
The truth behind the scenes
Parenting a neurodivergent child is enough to stretch anyone to the limit – but for many of us, that’s just the start. We’re also caring for partners with complex PTSD, elderly relatives, other children, or navigating our own late-discovered neurodivergence. Some of us are living with chronic illness, trauma, anxiety, or burnout that’s never had space to heal.
There’s no off switch. No backup plan. No real rest. We don’t get sick days. We don’t get a break. We get told to “just be grateful” – while silently juggling medical forms, EHCP battles, emotional outbursts, broken friendships, and the grief of watching our child struggle in a world that won’t adapt.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding everything together by a thread, and no one’s even thought to ask how you are – I want you to know I see you. This space was made for you.
Why me?
I’m not a therapist or a coach. I’m a parent, like you – one who’s been through it and come out the other side, still standing, still smiling (most days). I’ve rebuilt my own mental health, silenced my inner critic, and found peace in the life I’m already living. Now I want that for you too.
Before all this, I was a Chartered Marketer with a 20-year career and my own business. I’m professional, informed, and straight-talking – but I’ll never pretend to be perfect. What I am is real, compassionate, and deeply committed to helping parents like us find a better way to live.
You matter. Your wellbeing matters. And it’s never too late to put yourself back in the picture.

“I am bowled over by your kindness – seriously! Thank you for such a lovely message and for allowing yourself to be vulnerable to support me. That’s brave, thank you.”
“I was so grateful for your honesty and kindness and and genuinely helpful advice. Things have felt massively overwhelming for a really long time now… Where we’re at is so far from what I imagined family life would be like and I feel I’m doing a disservice to the boys as well as becoming someone I really don’t like.”
“This is absolute gold to me, thank you! I am completely overwhelmed by it all and I’ve no idea what direction to turn. The world is foggy at the moment where I’m taking it all in… Thank you so much for sending me this message. It means the world to me xxx”
