Neuroaffirming.
Practical.
Rooted in live experience.
I support autistic individuals and their families to create calmer, more connected lives. Whether you're navigating anxiety, school or work challenges, burnout, or identity, you're not alone — and there's support that truly understands.
Let’s find the approach that fits you.
Find the support that fits you best
Every autistic person is different. Whether you're looking for structured mentoring, family guidance, or flexible learning, there's an option designed to meet your needs — and honour your pace.
1-1 consultations for parents and families
Support that makes a difference — tailored to your child, your family, and your pace
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to help your autistic child — you're not alone.
Together, we’ll create practical, realistic strategies that reduce anxiety, build connection, and help you feel more confident at home and at school.
I bring a neuroaffirming approach, grounded in lived experience, professional insight, and a deep respect for your child’s identity.
What we might cover:
Understanding what’s beneath meltdowns or shutdowns
Making home life more calm and manageable
Navigating school stress or EHCP planning
Helping your child feel seen, supported, and safe
Preventing and supporting autistic burnout
Digital Courses
Learn in your own time, revisit when you need to
These short, practical digital courses are designed for families, individuals, and professionals who want realistic, neuroaffirming strategies that actually help — without overwhelm. You can start anytime, go at your own pace, and come back to them whenever life gets tricky again. Each course is based on lived experience, current understanding of autism, and what’s genuinely helpful in day-to-day life.
Here's some of the topics we cover:
Reducing anxiety, meltdowns and shutdowns
Understanding autism, ADHD and pathological demand avoidance
A parent's guide to autistic burnout
Supporting siblings of neurodivergent children
Creating low-demand routines at home
How to rebuild family bonds
Flexisupport
Personal support, when and how you need it
FlexiSupport blends the structure of my digital courses with responsive, personal access to me — so you can get the tools and reassurance you need, when you need them. You work through the materials at your own pace, with the option to message me any time. Whether you're having a tough day, stuck on something practical, or just need someone who understands — I’m there. It’s like having a mentor in your pocket.
What we cover:
How to reduce the frequency and intensity of meltdowns and shutdowns using my unique neuroaffirming strategies.
How to map your child's individual escalation curve using effective retrospective analysis, so that you can detect hidden warning signs before they intensify and your child no longer seems to go from "0 to 100".
De-escalate difficult situations, learning to be proactive rather than reactive. Proactive strategies will make sure your child feels understood, valued and supported.
How to reconnect and set boundaries, using emotion coaching for neurodivergent children. This fosters trust, security and will prevent the same challenges reoccurring.
1-1 Mentoring for autistic women and girls
Support that understands — mentoring for autistic girls and women
Whether someone is newly diagnosed or simply starting to understand themselves more deeply, mentoring offers a gentle, affirming space to process, learn, and grow — at their own pace, in their own way. I work with each individual as the expert on themselves. This isn’t therapy. It’s mentoring rooted in lived experience, mutual respect, and deep understanding. 1-1 mentoring sessions are designed to support children and adults (8+) in exploring and embracing their unique autistic identity to create a sustainable and authentic lifestyle.
What we might explore:
What autism means for you
Unmasking and identity
Managing anxiety and burnout
Coping with overwhelm or shutdowns
Navigating friendships and social situations
Expressing needs and setting boundaries
Learning how to ask for what you need in work, school and life

Melanie
When I first signed up to Carly's course, I did worry it might be yet another generic ASD course. It absolutely wasn't! We found so many helpful strategies to help us and I can't wait to discuss my daughter's strategy plan with school and get them to implement parts of it. The course really helped us to focus on our individual child and how we can do our best to help her. Carly is incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and I really feel like she cares about the mental health of our daughter. We will definitely be doing more courses with her in the future. Thank you!
Zoe
Carly is fab, great listener and just gets it. She brings her lived experience as well as many years of knowledge from teaching and is just so informative and really cares about making a positive difference to each person's unique situation. Lots of techniques to try, tailored to our individual needs. Thank you for bringing some sanity back into our lives!

Carly has by far been the most approachable and informative contact on my families autism journey to date. Her knowledge is fantastic both as a coach/teacher and as someone experiencing autism herself. I'd recommend her to anyone. Thank you Carly
