Next Chapter - NW CIC

Some children read before they can explain what they’ve read.
They decode effortlessly, memorise whole books, and recognise words long before school — yet comprehension, communication, and social understanding lag behind.

This is hyperlexia.

It’s not “just gifted reading”, and it’s not something to train out of a child. It’s a unique neurodevelopmental profile where pattern-spotting comes before meaning, and words feel safer and more predictable than people.

Understanding hyperlexia helps adults stop overestimating comprehension, stop mislabelling behaviours as obsessional, and start offering the right kind of support — support that honours strengths while gently scaffolding understanding.

Save this if you work with, teach, or love a child whose reading ability doesn’t tell the whole story.

Jules enjoyed time with her healthy relationships group and it was great to welcome the team from domestic abuse alliance to the session.

Maria welcomed her teaching assistant level 1 group

Claire and Karen loved working with young people on a 1:1 throughout the day, helping them find their strengths, glimmers, sense of zen and ways to express how they feel

Kim, Mrs T, Claire and the mentors had lots of fun welcoming our wonderful games club members.

Now it’s time time to head home for dinner and relax before a creative day tomorrow with counselling, business planning day, healthy relationship coaching sessions and 1:1 initial consultations.

Lovely evening of 1:1 sessions with primary children and secondary young people 💛

Exploring emotions, building understanding, and of course ending with a very competitive games of Connect 4 😄 I was ‘roasted’ last week, so spent the weekend practicing for a spectacular comeback.

Big feelings, brave conversations, and those small moments of connection that make it all worthwhile. 🟡🔴

Talk therapy isn’t for everyone. For many neurodivergent clients, or those who have experienced trauma or difficult relationships, “just talking” can feel like a big ask, making sense of things and finding words that just aren't there.

That’s why we love Karen’s beautifully inclusive approach for children, teens and adults. For young people, you’ll often find her on the floor, immersed in art, craft, and play, meeting children exactly where they’re most comfortable and helping those who find words tricky to express themselves safely and creatively.

With a strong specialism in neurodiversity, Karen brings deep insight, experience, and compassion to her work with children, teens, and adults. The feedback from clients speaks for itself, and we’re so proud to have her as part of our centre.

If you’re looking for support that truly adapts to you, Karen may be the perfect fit. ✨

✨ Relationships Start with YOU ✨

The way you relate to yourself sets the tone for every connection in your life—partners, family, children, friends, and colleagues alike. 💛

If you’re recovering from abusive relationships, taking time to reflect, understand, and rebuild your inner resources is especially important… and connecting with people who truly ‘get it’ can make all the difference.

By nurturing a healthy relationship with yourself, knowing your boundaries, understanding your triggers, and practicing self-compassion, you create a foundation for the kind of relationships and communication you truly want moving forward.

Remember: how you treat yourself is the blueprint for how others will treat you. 🌱

Want 2026 to be the year of better relationships? Connect with Jules and start laying the foundation with her Healthy Relationships Hub.
