Children & Adolescent Coaching – Complimentary Consultation
Is your child or teenager struggling with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence?
Young people with ADHD, autism or learning differences often experience challenges with focus, organisation, emotional regulation and school demands. Difficulties with study and revision skills are often linked to executive function development, and many young people also struggle with confidence, social interaction and communication.
Through specialist coaching, I work directly with children and adolescents to strengthen executive function skills such as planning, organisation, study and revision strategies, sustained attention and task completion. We also work on emotional regulation, confidence, and developing stronger social and communication skills.
I support parents as well, helping them better understand their child’s needs and offering practical guidance that strengthens communication and support at home and in school.
Book a complimentary consultation to explore how we can support your child’s development, learning and wellbeing.

Darwin is Australia's most remote and northerly capital city, a frontier community in the tropical Top End of the Northern Territory with a distinctive character shaped by its military presence, geographic isolation, significant Indigenous population in the broader region, and a transient workforce that moves in and out of the city on short postings and contracts. The mental health landscape reflects the specific stresses of remote tropical living—extreme heat and humidity, cyclone anxiety, isolation from family and major urban centres, and alcohol-related harm—alongside the acute needs of Darwin's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. NT Health provides public mental health services through the Top End Mental Health service, and a private therapy sector serves permanent residents and longer-term workers; telehealth is widely used for those in more remote communities across the Top End. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship stress, and the adjustment challenges of a city where many residents are perpetually in transition.
