SEND Friends Workshops & Events

Small, Safe Spaces for Big Conversations

At SEND Friends, I offer gentle, neuroaffirming workshops designed to support parents, carers, and professionals in understanding and supporting neurodivergent children.

My approach is rooted in lived experience, with every session aiming to create a welcoming, validating space where learning feels like relief — not pressure.

Workshops That Work

I believe smaller group sessions offer the most value, giving attendees space to reflect, ask questions, and connect more deeply. I typically work with groups of 6–10 people, but larger talks or panel-style sessions may be available in the near future- please check back for updates.

All sessions are inclusive, strengths-based, and built around real-life insights from the front lines of parenting and peer support.

Popular Topics Include:

  • Understanding neurodivergent communication and behaviour

  • Supporting sensory needs in everyday life

  • Parent self-care in high-stress systems

  • Preparing for meetings and school transitions

  • Understanding PDA or general demand sensitivity

  • Understanding and supporting ARFID

  • Neurodivergent identity, pride, and self-advocacy

Bespoke Support for Communities & Groups

I can be booked by:

  • Charities and community groups looking to offer gentle, specialist input alongside their existing peer support services, such as attendance at coffee mornings or already established support sessions

  • Schools, SENDCos and professionals seeking lived-experience insight to deepen their understanding of neurodivergent children and families

  • Parent support groups or co-ops building confidence and connection through shared learning

The type of support provided can be adapted to suit your audience, time frame, and level of need.

Available online or face-to-face (Grimsby and North East Lincolnshire)

Optional Add-On: Vocals & Vibes

Although it's not part of SEND Friends' core offer, I am also a professional vocalist and can provide live performances (vocals to backing tracks or as an acoustic/backing track duo) as part of wider family-friendly events, wellbeing days, or inclusive community spaces. If you'd like to add something joyful, relaxed and uplifting to your event, this can be arranged separately.
