Ever wonder why your teen struggles with things that seem “easy” for others?

Noise feels unbearable. Emotions escalate fast. Sleep is a battle.
 School expectations feel overwhelming. Social situations are exhausting.

That’s why I’m starting a 10-week in-person workshop series for teens (12–17) focused on understanding themselves and learning practical skills they can use immediately.

✨ In these workshops, teens will learn:
* Why their brain works the way it does.
* How to manage sensory overwhelm and big emotions.
* Tools for anxiety, focus, sleep, and routines.
* Communication, confidence, and self-advocacy skills.

All sessions take place in a calm, supportive environment, with: ✔ Small groups (max 4 teens). ✔ Regulation breaks + optional social time. ✔ Two FREE parent sessions (before & after the programme).

📅 Starting January 17th. 📍 Autastic Offices, Airport Business Park.

👉 Book a free parent session to see if this workshop is the right fit for your teen and ask any questions you may have. 🔗 Link in bio / client portal

Why are in-person workshops better than online? 💛

Because real support, real connection, and real practice make all the difference.
In-person workshops help teens:
✨ Build confidence and social skills.
✨ Manage emotions and sensory overwhelm.
✨ Learn practical strategies they can use every day.

No screen can replace the feeling of being seen, understood, and supported in the moment.

👉 Book a free parent session to see if these workshops are the right fit for your teen.

When parents tell me this… it means everything 💛

Supporting neurodivergent teens is about helping them understand themselves, feel safe, and build skills that actually work for their nervous system.

These words come from parents who’ve seen:
✨ increased confidence.
✨ better emotional regulation.
✨ improved understanding of their teen’s needs.
✨ less overwhelm at home and school.

Every teen is different, which is why my work is:
✔ Neurodiversity-affirming.
✔ Calm and supportive.
✔ Practical and tailored.
✔ Focused on real, everyday life.

If you’re wondering whether your teen might benefit from this kind of support, you don’t have to decide alone.

👉 Book a free parent session to talk things through, ask questions, and see if my workshops or 1:1 support are the right fit for your child.

Is your neurodivergent adolescent finding everyday tasks challenging, with school or daily life feeling more difficult than expected?

I am offering a Neuro-Affirmative Workshop for Adolescents, commencing on January 17th and running every Saturday for 10 weeks.

These sessions focus on essential real-life skills that are particularly important for neurodivergent teenagers, while also providing gentle opportunities for connection with peers, if and when participants feel comfortable.

The workshop will address areas such as:

Executive functioning.
Sensory processing.
Emotional regulation.
Anxiety management.
Demand avoidance.
Sleep management.
Establishing supportive routines.

Participants will learn practical, developmentally appropriate strategies that can be applied immediately, supporting their ongoing growth, confidence, and independence.

Sessions are designed to be supportive and low-pressure, with optional opportunities to socialise participants are never required to engage beyond their comfort level 😊

Each session is €80 and gently builds skills, self-understanding, and confidence in a neuro-affirming environment.

If you believe this workshop may benefit your adolescent, I invite you to book a complimentary consultation (via Zoom or phone) to explore whether it is the right fit 📩
