Supporting Neurodivergent Children & Teens
The world wasn't built for neurodivergent humans

- Let go of guilt, shame, and the feeling that you've missed something
- Approach your child's differences with curiosity and compassion
- 15+ Years experience in NHS & independent practice

- Supported hundreds of families
- Clinician, lecturer & supervisor
You feel like there is nothing you can do when your child is...
Avoiding school
They say they hate it, they feel sick, they beg you not to make them go. At school, they're disengaged, overwhelmed, and barely getting through the day.
Having meltdowns
Everyday demands or things not going their way can quickly spiral into intense emotional outbursts. You’re constantly walking on eggshells, and the whole family is feeling the strain.
Anxious and withdrawn
They seem deeply unhappy and struggling inside. They pull away from the family and barely talk. You can see how much they are suffering, but they won’t let you in.
Struggling at school
They are arguing with teachers, clashing with peers, and constantly getting into trouble at school. It feels like nothing anyone has tried is making a difference.
And worst of all? No one seems to understand your child.
Family members, friends, and professionals tell you that they just need firmer discipline, that they’re manipulating you, or that they’ll grow out of it. Instead of feeling supported, you’re left feeling confused, blamed, and alone.

She was my light in shining armour, my advocate to the school to explain my son's behaviour
I found Mrs Woolfson exceptionally professional and approachable. I felt comfortable to share my inner most thoughts without any feeling of being judged and found our correspondence very helpful and informative, I appreciated the fact that Eve did not just listen and empathise but gave her view point which led to healthy discussion and better understanding on my part of being able to see the world through my sons eyes and understand how his brain is wired differently so I am now able to communicate and connect better with him. As a result this has lead to less frustration, better behaviour and overall a happier person in myself and my son and the other siblings in my family. I was put in touch with Eve via my sons school where I had been having behaviour difficulties - she was my light in shining armour, my advocate to the school to explain my sons behaviour and has encouraged the school to give our son another chance with a timetable and a program which she seems appropriate for him. I am very hopeful for the future and Eve left the door open for us - if we require more help to come back to her.

Her approach with our son has been transformative, and worlds apart from his experiences with other therapists
Working with Eve has been an absolute pleasure. She is easy to reach, very communicative, and responds to messages in a timely manner. Her approach with our son has been transformative, and worlds apart from his experiences with other therapists. She approaches the issues at hand with a proper game plan, and every session has an agenda. Our son really enjoys the activities they do together, the warmth and understanding she displays, and most importantly, the visible downgrade in his anxiety. We would highly recommend.

Since you started working with our pupil she is clearly at at a better place
You work in school with one of our pupil who has ASD. You help her recognise who she is and work towards making her value her identity and strengths. You support both school and her parents by giving clear guidance and understanding of autism. Since you started working with our pupil she is clearly at at a better place and staff and parents are feeling well supported and empowered.

Working with Eve was a very positive experience
Working with Eve was a very positive experience. She was professional, discreet, and highly skilled at getting to the root of the problem while working collaboratively with the wider team. She took the time to listen carefully to everyone's concerns, ensuring all perspectives were understood before bringing everything together and providing clear, practical advice. We believe her support will have a big impact on the child concerned and we are really grateful.

Mrs Woolfson was extremely professional, caring and sensitive
We worked on supporting a young adult with ASD who was struggling with her differences and was not managing to fit in to her educational setting since she transitioned from High School. Mrs Woolfson was extremely professional, caring and sensitive. She was able to support the young person and helped support her in the new setting. She provided practical tools and tips for the client and advocated for her where relevant so she would feel supported in the educational setting. Mrs Woolfson also provided support for the parents and met with them to help them understand the difficulties their daughter was facing and how to best support her. Would definitely recommend her services.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Eve to anyone fortunate enough to work with her
"I don't know how she does it" is a phrase that regularly goes through my mind when I think about Eve. I genuinely don't know how she manages to be an incredible mother of six, a wonderful friend and colleague, and excel across the many facets of her role, all while constantly striving to learn more, do more, and help more. What sets Eve apart is that she works from a place of genuine care. Care is woven into everything she does. She is thoughtful, compassionate, and deeply committed to making a positive difference. She cares not only about the work itself, but also about the people behind it. One of Eve's greatest strengths is her ability to draw on her own experiences and thoughtfully interweave them into her work. This gives her a level of authenticity, empathy, and understanding that is rare and incredibly impactful. People feel seen, heard, and supported because Eve understands challenges not just in theory, but through lived experience. Eve brings energy, integrity, and heart to everything she does. She has a remarkable ability to connect with people and inspire confidence and trust. I would wholeheartedly recommend Eve to anyone fortunate enough to work with her.

Just by speaking to her about it - it took away a percentage of the problem

Her expertise and practical approach made the session both informative and highly relevant.
Eve came into our school today and shared an excellent overview of how speech and language difficulties can present in a high school setting. We also explored a student case together, and Eve guided us on how best to support the student moving forward. Her expertise and practical approach made the session both informative and highly relevant. She explained concepts clearly, provided useful strategies that we can implement straight away. We found her input extremely valuable and would highly recommend her to other schools looking to better support students with speech and language or any other needs.

Very helpful, practical and realistic guidance
Working with Eve has been very helpful for us. She took the time to understand our child's needs clearly and guided us through specific steps that were practical and realistic to follow. Her explanations helped us see where the challenges were coming from and what adjustments could make a difference. The support had a noticeable positive effect on our child and on how we manage things at home.

Finally able to understand after trying many therapists
It was really helpful to work with Eve, we were finally able to understand more about his fussy eating and how to deal with it. She's very caring, understanding and patient, a pleasure to work with! This was after trying many therapists who just didn't have the knowledge in this area.

Refreshing and eye opening approach
I was recommended by the school SENCO to approach Eve and they couldn't have directed me to someone better. My daughter has an issue repeating the end of words she is saying (usually when trying to retrieve her next words or thoughts). We were discussing what the cause of this could be. More importantly Eve wanted a clear picture of my daughter to see the bigger picture and how she can guide me to help her not just in her speech but in her overall confidence. Eve's approach was refreshing and eye opening, giving me the confidence in how to deal with my daughter. It has only been a couple of days since i spoke to her but already i can feel the difference i have, not second guessing myself how i am responding to my daughter's speech and behaviours. A huge thank you!

Clear guidance with quick turnaround reports
We were very pleased with our recent visit from Eve. The guidance given was clear and easy for teaching team to put together, enabling them to support our students in the best way possible. We were especially impressed by how quickly we received the post-visit report which was very helpful.

Sessions became a highlight of the week
The SENCO our daughters' college introduced us to Eve and it's our honour to strongly endorse that recommendation. Her high level of sensitivity, captured M's confidence from the day go and these sessions quickly became a highlight of the week. With extreme professionalism and care, the focused and structured lessons turned a tense, confused M. into a smiling capable girl, armed with all the tools necessary to handle some of her greatest challenges.

Extremely empathetic and generous with her time
Working in a medical advocacy and support charity I have contacted Eve a number of times regarding children who have struggles tolerating medication. On each occasion she has been extremely empathetic and willing to give of her own time to guide parents with her professional advice in this area and navigate to resources to help them. This has made a huge difference specifically where no other alternative medication maybe available for the child to tolerate subsequently affecting their health.

Consistently of the highest quality feedback
Eve offered her services to our organisation - Compass, with such a spirit of generosity and passion for which we remain eternally grateful. The clients that she met in our clinics and the training she delivered, was consistently of the highest quality, and positive feedback from the service users was outstanding. Kudos to you Eve, for your dedication to championing the neurodiverse community in such a selfless manner.

Thoughtful and grounded conversations
Working with Eve was simply connecting with a like-minded professional who really understood where I was coming from. Our conversations were thoughtful and grounded, and she had a great way of guiding me through the areas I wanted to develop without it ever feeling forced. She created a space where I felt comfortable to reflect, and she often noticed strengths or patterns that I hadn't fully seen myself. I really appreciated her calm, supportive approach and found our time together both helpful and encouraging. I'm excited to grow professionally and personally through Eve's supervision.

An excellent presentation
I can really feel what an autistic child feels like. When you know what people are going through you can help them more. Everything was brilliant – it was very clear and extremely pleasant to listen to. I enjoyed to hear how it was a journey for you as well. An excellent presentation, thank you.

You gave me a much broader perspective
I thought I was well read on autism, and you gave me a much broader perspective, a more positive one, and also that neurotypical people should be the ones making the accommodation. Everything was very clear. It was good that you took questions mid presentation, it kept me on topic. Thank you so much.

Meet Eve Woolfson
BSc, PGCert, MSc
As a late-diagnosed ADHDer and mum of neurodivergent kids, with over 15 years experience working with neurodivergent people and their families, I can tell you this.
So many neurodivergent people grow up believing they're difficult. Problematic. Too much. They carry that belief everywhere they go. And it's not true. It comes from years of being made to feel that way by a world that didn't understand them.
I do this work because I want that to change. And as a neurodivergent person myself, this isn't just professional for me. It's personal.
I want your child to grow up feeling self-love, compassion, and genuine acceptance for exactly who they are.
When we stop seeing behaviour as something to fix and start understanding what lies underneath it, everything begins to change. When you learn to recognise your child’s needs, adjust the environment around them, and support their nervous system rather than fighting against it, children are able to thrive and flourish in their own way.
This shift doesn’t just help your child. It changes the experience of parenting too. Instead of feeling stuck in cycles of frustration, conflict and overwhelm, you begin to feel calmer, more confident and more connected to your child. You’re able to support them in a way that truly works for who they are.
I am a highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist and Senior Mental Health Practitioner, with over 15 years’ experience in the NHS and in independent practice. I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Autism and a Master’s degree in Psychology. My work includes clinical practice, supervision, university lecturing, and delivering training. I currently work part-time in the NHS in a mental health setting, and in independent practice. I am also a committee member for a Clinical Excellence Network, supporting professional learning for over 800 clinicians who work in neurodevelopmental pathways.
Frequently Asked Questions
My child doesn't have a diagnosis. Can you still help?
Absolutely. You don't need a diagnosis to work with me. My approach is needs-led. If your child is struggling, that's enough reason to get support.
My child has had bad experiences with professionals and refuses to speak to anyone.
I hear this a lot. Many neurodivergent young people have felt judged or misunderstood by professionals in the past. If your child isn't ready to work with me yet, I can start by working with you as parents first. When your child feels ready to work with me, I go at their pace, validating their lived experience and building trust and safety first. I listen to understand them, not to fix them. I don't push, and I don't judge. Many parents tell me their child opened up with me when they wouldn't with anyone else.
We've already tried parenting courses and therapy and nothing has worked.
Most parenting approaches are designed for neurotypical children. They focus on managing behaviour through rewards and consequences. My approach is different. I work with you to understand what's going on for your child and what they actually need. You'll learn to create an environment that works for their brain, build their positive identity, and parent them in a way where they can genuinely thrive.
My child has complex needs. Can you still help?
Yes. I regularly work with children who have complex needs, including situational mutism, learning disabilities, children who are non-speaking, and those experiencing significant dysregulation and mental health difficulties. My approach focuses on understanding each child’s individual needs and supporting them to communicate, regulate and feel safer in their world, while also guiding parents and professionals to respond in ways that truly help.
I'm so overwhelmed I don't even know where to start.
That's exactly what the discovery call is for. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to show up. I'll guide you from there.
Do you work online or in person?
I work online. This means I can support families wherever you are, from the security of your own home, and sessions fit more easily into your life without the stress of travel. For those in the Greater Manchester area I may be able to offer face to face support if you would prefer this.
Is this the right fit for us?
This approach works best if you're ready to do things differently and you're willing to work with me to support your child. If you're looking for a quick fix or you want your child to be more neurotypical, we're probably not a good fit. But if you're open to understanding your child and helping them build authentic self acceptance, then you're the kind of family I work best with.
Can I book a one-off consultation?
I don't offer one-off sessions because honestly, you won't get what you need from just one conversation. Understanding your child, building trust, and creating real change takes time. A single session might give you a few ideas, but it won't shift the underlying patterns or empower you to support your child long-term. I work with families over a period of time because that's what actually works.
What are the training options and pricing?
I offer bespoke training for schools and organisations on supporting ADHD and autistic people in the classroom and workplace. Two hour training sessions are £595, full day training is £1895, plus travel time and costs pro rata. Consulting support for managers and HR teams is priced based on your needs. Contact me to discuss what would work best for you.
Do you work with adults?
Yes, alongside my work with children and families, I also support adults - whether formally diagnosed or exploring their autism or ADHD identity. Adult coaching is £600/month. Get in touch to find out more.
