About me
Hello, I'm Helen.
For over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, young people, and families across the NHS, Children's Services, and primary schools. Today, I continue to work directly with families in school settings as a Home School Link Worker (HSLW), Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA), and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL), providing practical and emotional support to navigate daily challenges.
Alongside my professional background, I am a qualified ADHD Coach and a parent myself. My own experience of parenting a son with ADHD gives me a genuine, lived insight into the daily realities, stresses, and joys that neurodivergence brings to family life.
Having worked with hundreds of parents over the years, one thing is clear: there is no such thing as a "perfect" parent. We all hit moments where we need a safe space to talk, feel heard, and figure out practical ways forward.
My coaching provides a calm, confidential, and non-judgmental space where we can work together on what matters most to your household—whether that's establishing smoother daily routines, navigating big emotional meltdowns, or supporting your child through school and ADHD challenges. My goal is simple: to help you feel calmer, more confident, and fully supported in your parenting journey.

Helen helped me accept my ADHD brain instead of trying to “fix” what I thought were faults. She showed me how to work with it in my own way and pointed out strengths I’d never noticed before.
Working every week with Helen has taught me how to get organised and helped with my anxiety. I’ve learned many tools to prioritise, accomplish tasks, and stay on track.
Thank you, Helen, for your kindness and support every week we met. I highly recommend Helen's service to anyone wanting to understand their ADHD and work with it not against it.
