She has particular experience with neurodivergent children and young people, including autism and ADHD, and with those facing complex mental health difficulties, including psychosis.

Sarah is keen to understand how she can be most useful to your family during this stressful time.
Her approach is strengths-based, working collaboratively with children, young people and families on the goals that matter to them. These goals might be building confidence and improving wellbeing, developing ways of managing stress, and/or reducing emotional and behavioural difficulties that feel hard to cope with.
Sarah has a special interest in working with neurodivergent children and their families.
