You haven’t heard from me in a while…

Connect

And here’s why (plus what’s coming next)

Hi {{ first_name }}, 

 

You might’ve noticed I've been a little quiet with emails lately. 

Well, here is why.

Since January, our small but mighty team at the clinic has offered over 100 families assessments — so it has been very busy, and  rewarding. We have also delivered our Emotional Regulation Programme to young people from 5 to 17 years, AND we have been running our monthly membership. 

 

But in the background, I have been thinking about this community, and emailing you.


This email community is important to me because sharing knowledge and showing up is one of our missions in EPT Clinic.

 

I appreciate the quiet strength it takes to show up every day as a parent when things feel anything but ordinary... so my goal is to show up for you in the same way. 

 

So I want to start again — gently.

 

My goal is to connect with you once a week via email (if I miss a week, I apologise in advance). 

I hope to be landing in your inbox with reflections, tools, and reminders drawn from what I see every single day in the clinic:

 

Parenting a sensitive, deeply feeling or neurodivergent child is not about getting it perfect — it’s about being present, resourced, and seen.

 

I’ll be writing about:

  • Emotional regulation (and why it starts with you).

  • Why your gut instinct about your child matters.

  • What helps when it feels like you're walking on eggshells.

  • And how to care for yourself without guilt.

 

Real, grounded support from someone who’s walked it both professionally and personally.

 

I will also give you the opportunity to tell me what you would like to get from EPT Clinic - what services are important to you. 

 

I'm glad we’re still connected. 

 

Speak soon,

Your Child and Adolescent Psychologist,

Why after school feels so hard (and what helps
Dear EPT Parent, Have you noticed how school days often end in tears, meltdowns, or silence? That’s because many neurodivergent children spend all day masking and holding it together. By the time they walk through the door, their nervous system is on overload.   The “afterschool crash” isn’t bad behaviour. It’s the body saying: I’ve used up all my energy, and I need to reset.   Here are three p...
Morning routines without meltdowns: what really helps
Dear Neurodiversity Parent, For me, how I start the day makes a really big difference. I see this in many of the neurodivergent children (especially ADHDers) too. A good start makes a HUGE difference to the rest of the day. So with this min mine, I want to talk about the morning routine. The challenge is that morning routines are often painted as simple: get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, head...
September is here…
Dear Neurodiversity Parent,  If you are like me, September can feel stressful, with lots of new drop offs and collections going into the calander, and the idea of early mornings causing defininite tention! On top of this, there can be a lot of "hype". Shops filled with "back to school" signs, endless conversations about “back-to-school,” and social media lists of 101 things you should be doing ...
