Your certified parenting coach, specialising in supporting parents of autistic children aged 5-11 years (diagnosed or undiagnosed).

If you feel lost, at the beginning of a journey you didn’t plan and have no map for, let me help.

If you’re looking for focused support, my 8-week online 1:1 coaching programme offers a dedicated space to navigate the unique complexities of the autistic experience with specialist guidance along the way.

Welcome, I’m Tara

The Purpose Behind the Programme

Created after years of witnessing families struggle without proper support, ‘Navigating from Overwhelm to Insight’ provides the empowering information needed to bridge that gap.

Built on lived experience and professional expertise supporting families and young people across a range of sectors including the Neurodiversity Team within Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (NHS), charity and community settings, my approach focuses on a proven pattern - early access to the right support predicts better long-term outcomes. My coaching provides that essential foundation.

  • 25 years’ experience of supporting families experiencing neurodiversity in a range of settings

  • Certificate of Higher Education in Autism

  • Bachelor of Philosophy in Special Education – Autism in Children (With Distinction)

  • Post Graduate Diploma - Psychological Therapies Practice with Children, Young People & Families (with Merit)

  • Certified Parent Coach trained via an ICF-accredited programme—the global gold standard for professional excellence and rigorous ethical practice

A Personal Note…

Exploring the local coastline is how I recharge. I’m a firm believer that well-being isn't a luxury; I encourage the families I work with to prioritise their own needs alongside their child’s to find a sense of calm.
