Building self confidence and positive self talk is just one of the issues we focus on in 1-2-1 sessions

I’m so excited today. 😬 I have a brand new website up and running where you can now view, book and pay online for your sessions. It makes everything much easier and gives me time back to focus on that work-life balance which I spend so much time advising on. Time to take my own advice!! 😆
Please, any hiccups let me know.
Check it out!

Demand avoidant children aren’t really avoiding demands.

That’s one of the biggest mistakes that parents make when trying to help their children. It looks like they are avoiding demands, it’s true. And reducing demands can often help.

But really demand avoidant children are avoiding the emotional response which follows a demand. The spike of anxiety. The feeling that they must be under threat. Those feelings are horrible and they want to get rid of them.

They want that feeling to go away as soon as possible and so they avoid. Those feelings are so intense that it feels like there’s no way out except to avoid.

The problem is that the more they avoid, the worse those feelings can get. Because when you are afraid of your feelings, they start to feel like a threat themselves. Very quickly, everyone explodes.

How can parents help? That’s what I’m talking about in my webinar. Understanding and Helping Your Demand Avoidant Child. Please share if you know parents who are reducing demands but finding it’s not enough.

Wednesday 8th October.

I’m having problems with my website and online diary atm. Message me directly for appointments. Oct diary is almost full. Just a wee reminder that payment secures booking. If I don’t receive your payment within 24/48 hours, unfortunately appointments will be redistributed as I have a waiting list.

I haven’t been able to run my wee classes for a while. I have an opening middle of Sept to perhaps run a 6 week class. Just thought I’d put the feelers out here to see how many folk would be interested as I need a minimum of 8 per class.
Classes are based on emotional regulation and support children on how to overcome overwhelming feelings such as anxiety and anger. Drop a wee comment or 🙋🏻‍♀️ if you would be interested.

😢Is your child feeling overwhelmed?
😡Are they having difficulty regulating their emotions?
😫Are they overthinking leading to panic attacks or low mood?

🌈I can help them with that.

Parent Support Groups are back!

Peer support is a great way to gain more information, share you own experiences and get to know other parents raising autistic children.

These sessions are all for parent/carers anywhere in their journey whether your child has a diagnosis or not you are very welcome.

I have 3pm available this Tuesday for a 1-2-1 session for anyone requiring a little bit of help with back to school anxiety.
