Child Behaviour Help for Parents: Expert Support from Clinical Child Psychologist Dr. Lucy Russell

I’m a UK clinical child psychologist with more than two decades of experience, including leading NHS autism services.

I create online courses, resources, and parenting support for families across the UK, giving you immediate access to expert child behaviour help without the long waiting lists.

Who I work with

My courses and resources are designed for parents whose children are struggling, whether that’s with behaviour that’s worrying you, anxiety and fears, or difficulty managing big emotions. They also support families dealing with friendship issues, school refusal, or when your child just seems stuck or not quite themselves.

I specialise in autism (ASD) and ADHD, but most of my parenting resources and behaviour strategies are just as suited to parents whose children do not have ADHD or autism.

Whether your child is dealing with something specific or you’re just worried about how they’re coping, my resources will give you practical parenting strategies to understand what’s really happening and work out how to move forward.

My approach

I offer simple behaviour strategies that work in real life, from someone who gets it. You get reassurance that you’re going in the right direction, and a clear way forward that doesn’t involve waiting months or years for parenting support.

I understand what it’s like when home feels tense, school is a battle, you’re exhausted and second-guessing everything.

Getting started

That’s exactly why I created this website, They Are The Future, and our Everlief Parent Club. I want to help you feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better equipped to manage your child’s behaviour, improve their wellbeing and work towards the family life you want.

How My Experience Has Shaped My Approach

I wear two important hats in my life – I’m a clinical psychologist and a mum of two (one is now at university, the other is a teenager). This gives me a unique perspective on what actually works for families, not just what looks good in textbooks.
After 11 years in the NHS, my husband Mike and I founded Everlief Child Psychology in 2012. While we help children with many different needs, we’ve become especially known for our work with ADHD and autistic children and their families.
Everlief has grown to become one of the largest child psychology clinics in the UK, but I realised that face-to-face support and parenting help can only help a limited number of families.
Through They Are The Future and Everlief Parent Club, I can help any parent who needs support with their child’s behaviour, emotional responses or development, whenever they need it.
