These conditions can be physical or mental health related, and can include neurological afflictions, developmental concerns, gastrointestinal issues, intellectual disability, sleep disorders, feeding difficulties, and challenging behaviours.

“We sought Caroline’s help, primarily to prepare our son for his Key Stage 2 SATS exams. He has an ASD diagnosis and has always underachieved in exams. Caroline taught him how to take control of the situation. He now has some brilliant mindset skills and has learnt how to methodically apply exam technique to answering each question. He understands the terminology and is the most self-confident version of himself we’ve seen in ages. Thank you!”
