With over 20 years of experience, my approach to dyslexia is built on a unique blend of professional strategy and personal lived experience. From my work as a national Education Consultant and SEN Governor to my time in the classroom, I have seen the education system from every angle.

However, my deepest insights come from home. As a mother of four neurodivergent children, I understand the "kitchen table" reality of the SEN journey. I founded this consultancy to bridge the gap between high-level educational expertise and the real-world needs of families and schools. I don’t just provide a report; I provide a roadmap to ensure every learner has the tools to thrive.
