My experience with special educational needs

With over 28 years experience as a qualified art and design teacher teaching in Social, Emotional and Mental Health, I have dedicated my career to understanding and supporting young people and their families. Many of the children I have worked with have complex mental health needs in addition to Autism, ADHD and other neurodiversities. I have worked with very vulnerable students, many of whom had a background of trauma. As an accredited transformational life coach, ADHD and Autism clinical provider and a behaviour specialist, I have extensive experience working with children in Keystage 2 and secondary age as well as working with their families and professionals in helping them understand the complexities of ADHD and Autism in order to best meet their child's needs.

A bit about me

As a single mum to a creative teenage daughter with ADHD and Autism, I know the challenges young people can face and how this can affect their personal growth, confidence, relationships and how they navigate life. As an art teacher I use creativity as a tool for self-expression and emotional regulation, helping a young person process their experiences and communicate in ways that feel more natural to them.

My teaching philosophy

My approach to teaching and coaching is built on understanding and practical strategies. I believe learning should be engaging, accessible and tailored to the individuals strengths. Whether I am supporting young people, coaching parents or working with professionals, I focus on making concepts practical and relevant. I use a combination of structured guidance and creative exploration, encouraging self-expression and critical thinking. I believe real learning happens when people feel safe, heard and inspired to challenge themselves. My goal is to create an environment where individuals can develop confidence, problem solving skills and gain a deeper understanding of themselves.
