You haven’t heard from me in a while…

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,

We Need Spaces That Build Us Up, Not Wear Us Down
I love the change in season - April is lovely! It always makes me pause and think about what I want more of… and what I need to step back from. And if I’m honest, I’ve been feeling something lately. Some of the spaces we turn to for support feel… they fell heavy to me.There’s a lot of negativity. A lot of noise. A lot of strong opinions.And not always a lot of hope or comradery. THIS is why mys...
Neurodivergent Strengths and Rewriting the Narrative
This week, I want to gently shift the lens. When we talk about neurodivergence, conversations can quickly centre around support needs, accommodations, overwhelm, or advocacy. Those things matter. But they are not the whole story. Neurodivergent children are not defined by their regulation challenges. They are often:Deeply perceptive.Exceptionally creative.Highly attuned to detail.Passionate abo...
Talking to My Neurodivergent Child About Neurodiversity
At some point, many of us face this question. How do we talk to our child about neurodiversity? Silence can create confusion.Over-explaining can create overwhelm. What matters most is tone. When neurodivergence is framed as difference rather than deficit, children feel relief. Relief that there is a reason.Relief that they are not broken.Relief that their experiences make sense. These conversat...
