A “One Size Fits All” approach is not the way forward.

  • Mental Health Support

    Neurodivergent or not, everyone encounters mental health struggles throughout life. High levels of anxiety is challenging for an adult, let alone children. To this end, I support all children with the use of:

    Play Therapy
    Talk Therapy
    Positive Behavioural Support
    Action Plans

    I provide support across a number of different locations including Schools, Homes, and varying Clinical Settings.

  • Social Skills

    Developing social skills is not a “one size fits all” situation, and developing social skills uses a number of different techniques in a repetitive manner over a period of time.

    Developing social skills is closely linked to speech and language support, and there is often a crossover with them both.

    I use a number of different techniques to develop social skills, including:

    “We Thinkers” Curriculum
    Zones of Regulation
    “Talkabout” by Alex Kelly
    Superflex
    Social Stories

  • Speech & Communication

    I make use of a number of different tools to support children with their communication. These include:

    PECS
    Talk Tools
    Communication Boards
    Positive Reinforcement

  • Education & Behaviour Support

    I design personalised interventions to address the unique needs of each learner, supporting them to achieve their full potential.

  • “Lydia is an asset and is someone that is clearly very enthusiastic and motivated to help children to develop to their full potential”

  • “Thank you so much, we really appreciate your support and helping him”

  • “Lydia is hardworking, reliable, enthusiastic and passionate about understanding the educational needs of our son and adapting approaches based on his needs.”

  • “Thank you for the hours you have given us xx”
