Specialist, person-centred support for school-age children, teenagers and young adults — and the families and schools around them.
From the age of five right through to adulthood, Nicola Durrant works alongside your family and your child’s school to identify needs, unlock the right support, and make sure your child is truly understood.

When your child is struggling at school, it can feel like no one truly sees what you see at home.
You don’t have to fight this alone.
