0-5: Early Years
0-5: Early Years
You Googled "is it normal for a newborn to…" at 3am and ended up reading seventeen conflicting articles. Or your baby hasn't slept longer than forty minutes since they arrived and everyone keeps saying "enjoy every moment." (Enjoy what, exactly?)
Maybe your little one has just started nursery and drop-offs feel like a scene from a film you didn't sign up for. Or you've got a nagging feeling that something at the setting isn't quite right, and you don't know if you're overreacting.
You're not overreacting. And you don't need to figure it out alone.
This is the age I know best. I've spent years working directly with babies and young children in nursery settings, and I still do. I've seen a lot, the beautiful bits, the confusing bits, and the bits nobody warns you about in the NCT class.
What I Can Help You With:
New born questions you feel embarrassed to ask (there are none, genuinely, ask away)
Feeding worries: breast, bottle, combination, refusing, fussing, all of it
Sleep and naps: schedules, regressions, why they were fine and now they're not
Weaning, introducing solids, and the panic of watching them gag
Behaviour that feels out of nowhere: biting, hitting, throwing, meltdowns
Choosing the right nursery: what to look for, the right questions to ask, and the red flags most parents miss
Understanding what should be happening at nursery, the frameworks, the key person relationship, what good actually looks like
Settling in, room transitions, changing settings, and how to support your child through it
When nursery staff say everything is fine, but your gut says otherwise

5-10: Primary Years
5-10: Primary Years
Starting school felt like a big deal. And then it was fine. And then suddenly it wasn't, and you're not entirely sure what changed.
Maybe they love school but something shifted this term. Maybe they dread Monday mornings and can't tell you why. Maybe the teacher has flagged something and used a word you've had to Google. Maybe there's a friendship situation that's quietly become not-so-quiet.
This age is full of change. Academically, socially, emotionally, a lot is being asked of them at once. Most kids navigate it. But some hit bumps that are worth paying attention to, and knowing the difference matters.
What I Can Help You With:
Starting primary school: settling in, anxiety, friendship nerves, and what's normal in those first few terms
Understanding the UK education system, what year groups mean, EYFS to KS1 to KS2, and why what happens in Year 1 feels so different to Reception
Bullying: what it actually looks like, how to take it seriously without escalating, and how to talk to school about it
Neurodiversity: ADHD, autism, dyslexia, sensory processing, what the signs can look like, what assessments involve, how to push for the right support without feeling like you're being difficult
EHCPs, SEND support, school action plans, what you're entitled to and how to navigate it
Friendship struggles, social anxiety, falling out, feeling left out
School refusal: when Monday mornings become a battle and you're not sure whether to push or hold back
SEN support in school: what it should look like and when to ask more questions
Reading, writing, and learning concerns, when to worry and who to speak to
Understanding your child's report and what it's actually telling you

Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy
Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy
Something feels off. You can't quite name it, but you know your child. And this isn't quite them.
Maybe there was something obvious, a change at home, something at school, a friendship that ended badly. Maybe there wasn't, and that's exactly what's worrying you. Sometimes there's no clear trigger, and the not knowing is the hardest part.
You're not sure if it's serious enough to reach out. You don't know who to call. You're wondering if you're making too much of it, or not enough.
Here's what I can tell you: if it feels like something, it's worth talking through.
I'm currently training as a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist. I don't offer formal therapy sessions at this stage, that comes with full clinical qualification and registration, which I'm working towards. But I can sit with you, think with you, and help you make sense of what you're seeing before you know what the next step is.
What I Can Help With:
Making sense of changes in your child's mood, behaviour, or how they're presenting at home
Understanding whether what you're seeing might be stress, grief, anxiety, or something developmental
Talking through a specific incident or pattern that's left you unsure how to respond
Figuring out whether professional support is needed — and if so, what kind, and where to start
Having a calm, informed conversation with someone who takes it seriously and won't rush you to a conclusion

Real people. Real change.
When Letting Go Hurts
When Emma's toddler started nursery, what she expected to be a gentle adjustment quickly became overwhelming. Drop off turned into tears, sleep unravelled, and even small separations at home triggered distress. Beneath her daughter's anxiety was her own growing guilt, fear and worry.

Your questions.
Answered.
Not sure what to expect? These answers might help you feel more confident as you begin.
Didn’t find your answer? Send me a message, I'll respond as soon as I can.
Why should I trust your guidance?
You don't have to straight away. Trust builds through conversation. I've spent years working directly with children and families, writing developmental observations, navigating nursery systems for parents, and training in Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy. I don't rush to judge behaviour. I look for the meaning.

Do you only work with parents and families?
Parents and families are at the heart of my work, especially while I'm training as a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist.
But I can, and do support anyone who needs clear information or guidance around child development, early years systems, digital life, or family dynamics. Sometimes that's grandma, aunty, early years practitioners, SEND workers, or people wanting a second opinion.
If what you're looking for sits within the areas I work in, we can have a conversation and see if it's a good fit.
How is this different from therapy?
How is this different from therapy?
This isn't formal therapy. It's reflective, practical guidance. We explore child development, behaviour, systems, and pressure. You leave with clearer thinking and direction, not a diagnosis.
Can I book a therapy session for my child?
Can I book a therapy session for my child?
Many families ask this.
At this stage in my training, I cannot provide formal therapy to children. Therapy requires full clinical qualification and registration, and I will offer it when that level is reached. Until then, I provide reflective guidance and developmental support.
What qualifies you to do this work?
What qualifies you to do this work?
I've worked for many years in Early Years settings and alongside families, written hundreds of developmental observations, and supported parents to navigate uncertainty. I am also training in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. I stay within my scope.
Is everything I share kept confidential?
Is everything I share kept confidential?
Yes. What you share stays private. The only exception would be a serious safeguarding concern, where I have a legal duty to act. Transparency matters.
What makes someone reach out to you, and when?
What makes someone reach out to you, and when?
It's often something practical. A parent feels like they are not listened to at nursery. A policy that doesn't make sense. A conversation that left them a little confused rather than reassured.
Sometimes it's a child coming home different, while the setting say's they're 'misbehaving,' and you're not sure what that really means.
It could be gaming until 11 at night, arguments during the weekend. It could be school saying your child is aggressive.
Separation, a change at home, or just a sense that something feels off.
Families reach out for all sorts of reasons. Some are big. Some are small. Most sit somewhere in the middle. It's less about crisis and more about wanting to understand what's happening before it grows into something heavier.

When it feels right to reach out, you can.
I work best at the point where things don't quite make sense. You don't need to feel clear to reach out. Anger, worry and uncertainty is often where the real thinking begins.
