Gentle, early support that understands your child — and supports you too.
Calm, compassionate guidance for families navigating the early years, helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface so you can support your child with confidence and clarity.

The early years can be a time of joy, discovery, and connection — but they can also be a time of worry when something doesn’t feel quite right.
You’re not alone.
And you don’t have to navigate this stage without support. At ACE-SEN Consultancy, Terrie Ludbrook is our Early Years specialist, offering calm, compassionate guidance for families with children aged 0–5 — including further guidance on seeking a diagnosis. And because our packages run from 0 right through to adulthood, Nicola Durrant is there to support your child beyond the age of five too.
Our early-years support is gentle, play-based, and centred around your child’s unique way of experiencing the world.
We help you make sense of your child's communication, sensory needs, emotional regulation, and early behaviour patterns.
A calm, child-centred observation in your home environment to understand how your child interacts, plays, explores, and communicates.
A warm, relational approach to understanding how your child processes the world around them.
Helping you understand the 'why' behind behaviours such as meltdowns, withdrawal, sensory seeking, or big emotions.
Simple, achievable strategies you can use at home — without pressure, overwhelm, or unrealistic expectations.
We work with nurseries and early years staff to create environments where your child feels safe, understood, and able to thrive.
Terrie works closely with everyone in a young child’s world:
Terrie can provide the written, professional evidence you require to seek a diagnosis and/or apply for an Education, Health and Care Plan.
