The Origin of Our Practice: A Journey of Resilience and Advocacy
Our journey began in 2014, navigating the overwhelming challenges of the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) system. We discovered two paths: the “safe zone,” where families adapt quietly, and the “path of resistance,” marked by frustration, appeals, and endless battles for fair access to education.
This practice was created for parents on the “path of resistance”—those facing immense stress and exhaustion while advocating for their child. Along this journey, we’ve met countless caregivers who’ve put their lives on hold to fight for their children’s futures.
We understand the emotional toll of navigating processes like EHCPs (Education, Health, and Care Plans). That’s why we offer a unique blend of 1-to-1 Therapy and Life Coaching, designed to help you regain balance, build resilience, and find control amidst the chaos.

EHCP, Annual Review, Appeal, Sendist Advocacy Planning
SEN (Special Educational Needs) advocacy involves supporting and guiding parents and caregivers through the process of securing appropriate educational resources and services for children with special educational needs.
The Skills of Self-Advocacy: Build and enhance your advocacy skills as we work together on current and future challenges, and next steps in the EHCP process.
Review and Next Steps: The EHCP process is an evidence based process, where knowing the next steps is crucial. Problem solving, and exploring alternative outcomes.
Strategic Planning: Developing your own personalised action plan, providing a clear roadmap to navigate the EHCP process and address specific challenges ahead is a key area to work on.
The Therapist Background and Journey
I started working with parents, guardians and caregivers who are in the midst, or have exited the Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) system, advocating for their child, because I noticed the gap between the focus on the child and the real mental health struggles of those advocating for their child in what can be a unrealenting and unforgiven process.
I have personal skin in the game, having traversed the A to Z of the EHCP process. From submitting a section 36(1) of the Children and Families Act 2014 letter to the Local Authority right through to completing a Section 35 form and representing at the SENDIST Tribunal.
The process has many ups and downs, and I would rate it as one of the most challenging ‘procedural’ experiences one could possibly endure.
