Hey, I’m Alex.

I offer individualised, clinically informed support and guidance to families navigating the journey of autism diagnosis.

As a neurodiversity-affirming practitioner, I am dedicated to supporting families navigating the diagnostic journey of autism and other forms of neurodivergence.

With over 15 years of experience in educational and clinical settings, I provide a calm, informed space for parents, caregivers, and their children, whether you're exploring a potential diagnosis, newly diagnosed, or adjusting to life after diagnosis.

As a parent to a wonderfully neurodivergent child, I have lived experience of how overwhelming this process can feel. My role is to support you in building clarity, helping you to feel more confident, empowered, and connected to your child’s unique strengths and needs.

Through 1:1 consultations, parent guidance sessions, and practical resources, I offer tailored support grounded in compassion, evidence, and lived experience.

Francesca H.

"Alex has been such an invaluable support to our family. Her common sense, expertise and lateral thinking has regularly offered us clarity and a way forward. She is naturally emphathetic, and having an autistic child herself - she really gets it.”
