Advocacy without the exhaustion
Turning school advocacy into a calm, confident, and sustainable way of life
Whether you're a parent navigating the school system for a child with additional needs, or a business wanting to better support and retain working parents of children with additional needs, I help you move from overwhelm to clarity - using evidence, calm, and a clear method, not conflict.
Retaining talented colleagues, without the overwhelm
The SEEN Method - doable, realistic reasonable adjustments that help individuals and businesses thrive
I work with businesses and organisations who want to keep their talented people, not lose them to overwhelm. Through practical, reasonable adjustments and real understanding, I help create workplaces where working parents of children with additional needs feel supported - so individuals thrive, and so does the business around them.
MY APPROACH
A calm, evidence-led way to advocate for your child and support your people
Two methods, built from real experience
I'm a SENDCo working with children aged 4-11. I understand this from every angle: as a professional inside the school system, and as a parent living it myself.
I've built two methods from that experience: the GROUND Method for parents, and the SEEN Method for employers.
Both are about replacing fear and fighting with calm, confidence, and evidence - helping families flourish and workplaces better support and retain working parents of children with additional needs.
My mission is to heal the fractured relationships between home, school, and work. These connections are the bedrock of your wellbeing, and when they break, it impacts everything.
I am here to ensure that no parent has to navigate this journey feeling unseen or unsupported again.

Catherine completely changed the way I show up for my child. I stopped fighting the school and started advocating from a place of calm and evidence. I finally feel seen and, more vitally, understood. I felt that I could show up at work and have a better relationship with school. Which has been so helpful for both me and my child.
