For all facing year end, mocks and big exams, come along to learn tips and skills to help our executive function, organisation and prioritisation, which are all important and skills needed to get through these next few months. We'll explore different methods of learning, so you can find what works best for you. Practical tools and strategies will be sent to you after the session.
See you there!
Tips for parents on supporting neurodiverse children in their relationships.
This workshop is for parents who are looking to support their child to make friends at school.
Navigating social differences can be difficult for neurodiverse children. This workshop will
contain facts and research about how neurodiverse people make meaningful friends as
children and adults. It will also contain advice on how to create a supportive environment,
and on how to help your child to learn communication and navigate conflict.
Take time to pause, recharge and reconnect with yourself through guided mindfulness sessions in a calm and supportive environment.
These sessions help parents reduce stress, improve focus and build everyday techniques for emotional balance and resilience. Whether you're new to mindfulness or already have experience, everyone is welcome to join at their own pace.
Gain a deeper understanding of emotional regulation and sensory processing in neurodivergent children and young people aged 6–18.
Through practical guidance, real-life strategies and open discussion, participants gain greater confidence in supporting their child's emotional wellbeing while connecting with other families in a friendly and supportive environment.
We are so happy to be offering the "Parenting Course for anxious & neurodivergent children" programme to support parents of children up to 12 years old.
We decided to offer busy parents the option to receive the knowledge of the award-winning evidence-based programme in 3 mornings instead of 6 as it usually runs. As a bonus you will meet for a fourth time to catch up, give feedback and share all the positive changes.
This award-winning, evidence-based parenting programme is delivered online, providing parents with straightforward techniques for managing children's impulsive behaviours. Parents will learn how to cope with ADHD, get support with issues such as homework, messy rooms, etc., and thereby strengthen a positive relationship with their child.
Explore how sensory play and creative activities can help children regulate emotions, build confidence and develop through play.
This hands-on workshop gives parents and carers practical ideas, sensory tools and playful techniques to support neurodivergent children aged 5–12 at home. Along the way, families can connect with other parents, share experiences and discover new ways to make everyday moments calmer, more creative and enjoyable.
Our Messy Play sessions are designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and sensory exploration in a fun, welcoming environment.
Each session lasts approximately 1.5 hours and includes a variety of engaging activities that encourage children to explore through touch, sight, sound and smell. Families are welcome to enjoy the experience together, while parents and carers also have the opportunity to relax, connect and chat.
Our Messy Play sessions are suitable for children of different abilities and are delivered in a safe, inclusive and sensory-friendly setting.
Our Silent Disco sessions offer a unique and inclusive way for children and young people to enjoy music, movement and social connection in a sensory-friendly environment.
Each session lasts approximately 1 hour and includes wireless headphones, great music, interactive games and plenty of opportunities to dance, laugh and have fun together. With individual volume control, participants can enjoy the experience at a level that's comfortable for them, making Silent Disco an enjoyable option for a wide range of sensory needs.
Our Silent Disco sessions are suitable for children and young people of different abilities and create a safe, welcoming space where everyone can join in, build confidence and express themselves through music and movement.
Our Glow Party sessions are designed to bring children together for an exciting, sensory-friendly celebration filled with music, movement and glowing fun.
Each session lasts approximately 1 hour and features upbeat music, glow-in-the-dark games, dancing and interactive activities in a safe, welcoming environment. Children are encouraged to wear bright or neon colours and enjoy a fun-filled experience where everyone can participate at their own pace.
Our Glow Parties are suitable for children of different abilities and are carefully designed to create an inclusive, supportive and enjoyable atmosphere for all.

No artistic experience is needed, and parents receive creative resources to continue their wellbeing journey at home.

This programme supports adults, parents, teachers and community groups by exploring practical ways to improve emotional wellbeing, build resilience and create healthier, more supportive communities.
Topics may include understanding:
Support the wellbeing of your staff, parents or community with a guided mindfulness session tailored to your organisation.
Through mindfulness, a person can remember what is important to them and establish stronger boundaries. They can be less reactive and know their boundaries and what really deserves their energy and what does not.
Our workshops introduce practical mindfulness techniques that help reduce stress, improve focus and encourage healthier daily habits. Sessions can be delivered for workplaces, schools, community groups and other organisations, either in person or online.
