Hi, I'm Leah
Parent of neurodivergent teens |Part of Kelty Foundation Kind Mind team
When nothing seems to work, and everything feels like too much, you're not alone.
I support parents of neurodivergent kids when things feel stuck, overwhelming or like nothing is working.
I know how exhausting it can be. The overwhelm, the second guessing, the moments that don't make sense, even when you've tried everything.
As a parent of neurodivergent teens myself, I'm in this too.
I offer steady, ongoing support so we can slow things down and find a way through, together.
I'm also part of the Kelty Foundation's Kind Mind team, supporting youth mental health initiatives.
We can start right where you are.
A Glimpse into this Work
This short clip is from a recent talk with parents about supporting neurodivergent children.
You are carrying more than most people can see
You’re holding a lot together.
Always adjusting.
Anticipating what might happen next.
Mornings can feel heavy before the day has even started.
Getting out the door, getting to school, or deciding whether it’s even possible today.
You might be navigating school refusal, burnout, or a nervous system that’s already at capacity.
Trying to support your child while running on empty yourself.
And much of it goes unseen.
It can feel impossible to plan ahead when so much is unpredictable.
It can feel lonely when other people don’t fully understand what daily life actually takes.
Advice can sound good in theory,
but often doesn’t hold up in real life.
You don't have to carry all of this on your own.
How I Support You
When nothing seems to work, we slow it down and figure out what’s actually happening in your day to day life.
We take real moments like a blow-up, a refusal, or a situation that keeps repeatingand break them down so you can see what’s driving them.
From there, we make small, practical shifts that:
reduce escalation
help you feel more certain in your decisions
and create more workable, connected moments in your day
This isn’t about getting everything “right.”
It’s about no longer feeling stuck in the same patterns.
This tends to be a good fit for parents who feel they've tried a lot and are still left carrying more than anyone sees.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
What changes when we work together
You start to feel like yourself again
Not perfect. But more steady, more clear, more you
- Fewer meltdowns, less escalation, and less walking on eggshells in your day-to-day life.
- You stop second guessing yourself and start trusting how you’re showing up, even in the hard moments.
- You understand what’s underneath your child’s behaviour, so you’re not constantly guessing what they need.
- There’s more connection, and a deeper sense of safety between you and your child even when things aren’t going perfectly.
