Spiral Support

Parents & Caregivers

A collaborative space to debrief, reflect and make sense of what’s going on. Support for the hard moments at home and in the community and for the toll that those moments take on you.

Options to practice getting curious about behaviour and what’s driving it, build practical strategies that fit your specific family, and work on expanding your own knowledge, tools and resources so you feel more equipped between sessions.

We also make space to focus on you – your own nervous system, your capacity, and what you need to move towards thriving. Parenting a complex child in a complex world is demanding work, and your wellbeing is a big part of the picture.

Care Teams

Supporting a neurodivergent child often takes a whole team.

In mentoring sessions and care team meetings, I support everyone get on the same page – for support workers, educators, therapists and allied health professionals. The goal is a shared understanding and consistent approach across everyone involved in a child’s life.

When a child experiences consistency across all the people supporting them, with consistent responses and prioritising the sense of safety, it makes a profound difference.

I also focus on care team members’ own reflective practice to guide the self-regulation that enables co-regulation.

Available for individuals and groups.

Children & Young people

With children I follow the child’s lead – whether that’s in playing UNO, running around in the yard, quiet time drawing or gaming or just being alongside them while they do their thing. The vibe is low-demand.

Over time, this builds relational safety. With coregulation a nervous system is invited to move out of reactivity (fight/flight/freeze) and into safety which allows for increased capacity. That can show up in all kinds of ways: fewer meltdowns, a greater willingness to try new things, clearer decision-making, more self-awareness, and more.

Professionals

Working closely with a neurodivergent child or young person – whether you’re a teacher, aide, therapist, plan manager, childcare worker, nanny – can be incredibly rewarding and incredibly challenging, often at the same time. When you’re supporting a child whose needs are outside your usual experience, having a space to debrief and make sense of what’s happening matters.

PDA profile children in particular are often those that professionals can lack experience working with or find difficult to navigate without specific support.

I work with professionals to upskill in neuro-affirming, nervous-system informed practice and weave it into the work they’re already doing. We look at how to offer cues of safety rather than inadvertently triggering cues of danger, which can make an immediate difference to how a child responds.

A key focus is your own nervous system. This work can be demanding, and staying regulated yourself is not a luxury – it’s the foundation of everything you are able to bring.
