Online Parenting Support for Parents of Autistic Children and Children with ADHD, From a Clinical Psychologist Who Understands
You might not know where to find advice and support you can trust, whether you’re waiting for a diagnosis, going through the assessment process, or supporting your child years down the line. School stress, anxiety, meltdowns, and your child struggling to cope with everyday demands can all put pressure on the whole family.
Here, you’ll find online courses, a monthly membership community, and expert articles you can access whenever you need them, rather than face-to-face 1-1 therapy.
I’m Dr Lucy Russell, an Oxford-trained Clinical Child Psychologist with over 20 years of experience. Several members of my family are neurodivergent, and I am a carer for a sibling who is autistic, so I understand this from both sides. Through Everlief Child Psychology, my face-to-face clinic in Buckinghamshire, my team of 30+ clinicians has supported over 6,000 families since 2012.
5 Signs You Need Expert Support with Your Child’s Behaviour & Emotions
Standard parenting advice hasn’t worked, or has made things worse, because it wasn’t right for your child’s needs
You feel alone in this, because friends and family – even teachers – don’t see what you’re dealing with every day
You’re constantly adjusting plans or avoiding situations because of your child’s anxiety or behaviour, leaving everyone feeling restricted
You stay awake worrying about your child’s emotional wellbeing, friendships, or future independence
Despite following countless podcasts, YouTube channels, and trying different approaches, you still don’t have a clear way forward
