I have designed my monthly membership (Everlief Parent Club) to be incredible value for money, offering direct support from my child psychologist team and me.

Likewise, I created my courses so that every parent can access support. There is even a free course – Reset Your Child’s Wellbeing. Each parent course can be accessed whenever is most convenient for you, and consists of re-recorded videos and worksheets. The exception is the Embracing Autism course, which has a live interactive workshop at the end of the course in addition to 7 self-guided modules.

Currently, my memberships and courses are only available for UK parents. If you’re outside the UK, don’t worry, you can still enjoy my articles and other free resources in my weekly emails.
