Practical guidance to help

neurodivergent learners thrive

A safe space for neurodivergent learning and connection

This is your space to be yourself, learn your way, and connect with others who truly understand you. We aspire to be a neuro-affirming environment where children, families, and professionals can unmask, find solutions, and keep rising together.

With years of classroom experience, mentoring neurodivergent children and families, and a deep passion for neurodiversity advocacy, I provide resources, training, and workshops that help children thrive, families feel supported, and schools become more inclusive.

Supporting Professionals and Schools

I understand the challenges educators face when supporting neurodiverse students. Classrooms can be complex, and every child has unique needs. 

Through tailored training and workshops, I help school teams feel confident in their approach, equipping staff with strategies that work in real life.

My sessions cover understanding ADHD, autism, and PDA, exploring masking and school anxiety, and embedding neuro-affirming practices across your school. 

The result? Confident, inclusive classrooms where every child feels understood and supported.

Inspiring young people

I also visit schools to meet children directly. Through assemblies and interactive workshops, I celebrate the incredible variety of brains, foster empathy, and show students how they can support one another.

Sessions are tailored to each school and often explore neurodiversity, inclusion, LGBTQIA+, and my book The Girl Who Always Could.

These visits inspire children to embrace their differences, support each other, and feel confident in their unique abilities.

  • "Katie has been a great help to our seven year old son. He was having a hard time during the 3rd lockdown (2021) and Katie really helped not just with his school work, but also his emotional wellbeing. Before her first session with him, he was refusing to write a single sentence, but Katie got him expressing himself and writing again. She brought worksheets, books and activities but tailored the sessions to exactly what was needed each time. She even spent time after each session summarising what she'd learned was working for him so that we could continue working with him in between sessions. We highly recommend Katie; she was a huge help to our son (and us!) during some very trying times. "

  • Thank you for everything you do Katie. You were the pivot point in our child's life and things got so much better once you got involved. I'd call it educational fairy dust but that doesn't do it justice - to think where our teen has got to now, from where they were is directly related to the confidence you gave them. Thank you! <3 You better put this on your socials!!

  • “ Katie is such a fantastic mentor- she totally gets my daughter (who is dyslexic and has often felt under-confident in her school academic work). As well as teaching Japanese - the language and the culture - Katie is the most supportive and caring role model for my daughter, it's not just the Japanese, it's that my daughter comes away feeling good about herself. I don't quite know how Katie does it, but she just has a skill in making children feel heard and important and valid. I am so very glad we found Katie and highly recommend her tutoring skills. Using Katie could be the best thing you ever do for your child whilst they are growing and finding out who they are. Thank you Katie - we so appreciate you xxx"

  • “Myself and my son met Katie last October, my son 15 at the time and just found out he has ADHD. He was struggling big time and Katie was amazing, not only through her tutoring but she gave our family so much support. My son didn't have any support at school and GCSES weren't looking great at all. Katie worked a lot with him on his English Language and from going from just getting 1 GCSE in his mocks, he now has the 4 to go to his football college and got an amazing 5 in English Language! Thanks Katie your support has been great and we really appreciate what you did for him”

  • “It reinforced the way that I try to support a number of children that I come across in my day. I will sometimes be questioned by others about why I am "treating" a child in a certain way and this training made me think "yes, I am doing my best to try to help and support". In my role, the relationship with the child is massive. It has to be solid and when you have this, everything falls naturally in to place (mostly!).”
