What does inclusion really look like when it comes to neurodiversity at work? Our Director, Dr. Amanda, joined Dominic on the to explore that question - plus how ADHD, autism, anxiety and other neurotypes show up in real workplace settings.
They explored:

✅ How to support team members without overstepping
✅Why masking leads to burnout
✅ How coaching neurodivergent individuals requires nuance (and strength focus!)
✅What realistic accommodations look like (hint: sunblock at the beach 🌞)

🎓 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐃𝐞𝐫: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 If you’re dealing with meltdowns, refusal, big emotions, or daily battles… this is for you.

Because what looks like “bad behaviour” is often something else entirely.

It’s not that your child won’t focus, follow through, or calm down.

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭.

Kids with ADHD struggle with executive functioning, the brain’s self-management system for things like:

✅Emotional regulation
✅Flexible thinking
✅Starting tasks
✅Managing time
✅Controlling impulses

And when these skills are delayed or underdeveloped, or wired up differently, everything feels harder. For them, and for you.

That’s why I created Parenting an ADHDer:

A step-by-step, science-based course to help you support your child’s brain - not just their behaviour.

💛𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧:
✔️ What executive functioning actually is (and why it matters)
✔️ Practical tools to build these skills at home
✔️ How to respond to big feelings without escalating
✔️ Scripts, strategies, and activities that actually help

🎯 This course is ideal for parents of kids aged 2-20, diagnosed or suspected ADHD (or AuDHD).

Let’s take the guesswork out of parenting a differently wired child.

Big emotions can feel overwhelming - for kids and for the adults supporting them.

Meltdowns, shutdowns, emotional outbursts… they’re not signs of bad behaviour. They’re signs a child’s nervous system is overwhelmed and needs help to settle.

That’s why we created Managing Big Emotions - a simple, evidence-based, compassionate guide for parents and carers.

Inside you’ll learn:
✨ Why big emotions sometimes lead to “losing control”
✨ How to tell the difference between overwhelm and defiance
✨ How you can help - even in the heat of the moment

This isn’t about being perfect - it’s about feeling more prepared, more confident and more connected.

Support your child through their toughest moments - with calm, confidence, and compassion.

𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 | 𝟓 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠

This Infant Mental Health Week, let's celebrate the first 1,000 days of life and the way they set the foundation for emotional wellbeing, relationships, and even future mental health.

From the moment a baby is born, and even before - every interaction with a caregiver helps shape the developing brain. Eye contact, soothing voice tones, responsive cuddles… these simple moments are powerful.

They form the beginnings of secure attachment, emotion regulation, and resilience. Loving, consistent relationships are protective, even in the face of adversity.

As a Clinical Psychologists, we often remind families, educators, and health professionals that:
✅ Connection matters more than perfection.
✅ Early relationships are mental health interventions.
✅ It's never “too early” to support wellbeing - and it’s also never too late to help repair and rebuild.

Thanks to Brooke Koboroff, our Head of Clinical Services for these tips.
