family - Centred Neurodiversity Coaching
Specialist support for families of children and young people with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, PDA, or suspected neurodiversity. Brighton-based and online across the UK. No diagnosis needed.
Is this support right for your family?
Raising a neurodivergent child is rewarding, complex, and at times completely exhausting. Many parents find themselves caught between trying to understand their child, managing school relationships and EHCP processes, holding the family together emotionally, and quietly wondering whether they themselves might also be neurodivergent.
When everyday life starts to feel like permanent survival mode — when home is tense, routines are fragile, school is becoming a battleground, and you are carrying most of the emotional load alone — something needs to change.
Family-centred neurodiversity coaching helps you build understanding, find practical strategies that actually work, and move from exhaustion and overwhelm towards a calmer, clearer way of living together.
You do not need a diagnosis to get support. Some families come with a clear picture of their child's neurodivergent profile. Others simply know that things feel harder than they should, and want help making sense of why.
No diagnosis needed. You don't have to figure this out alone.

Who Is Family Neurodiversity Coaching For?
Parents and carers who:
• have a child or young person with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, PDA, or suspected neurodiversity
• feel like they're constantly firefighting — managing meltdowns, school issues, sibling tension, or their own exhaustion
• are navigating a diagnosis process, waiting list, EHCP application, or school SEND review
• want to understand their child's behaviour through a neurodivergent lens rather than a deficit one
• are struggling to find strategies that actually work consistently at home
• feel like they're walking on eggshells, or that the family is always one bad day away from crisis
• are supporting a child through school avoidance, demand avoidance, or emotional dysregulation
• carry most of the mental and emotional load and feel unsupported themselves
• may also be neurodivergent themselves and are navigating their own needs alongside their child's
want to reduce conflict, improve communication, and find a more sustainable way forward as a family
What Family Neurodiversity Coaching Covers
Sessions are tailored to each family's situation. They can be with a parent or carer alone, or — where appropriate — jointly with the young person.

• Responding to meltdowns, shutdowns, and emotional dysregulation in ways that reduce escalation
• Managing demand avoidance and PDA profiles at home
• Building routines and home environments that reduce daily friction
• Supporting emotional regulation for the whole family — including parents
• Strengthening communication and connection between parent and child
School and systems navigation:
• Understanding and navigating the SEND and EHCP system
• Preparing for EHCP reviews, annual reviews, and tribunal processes
• Advocating effectively for your child with schools, GPs, and local authorities
• Managing school avoidance and school-related anxiety
• Supporting school-to-school transitions or moves into specialist provision
Parent wellbeing:
• Preventing and recovering from parental burnout
• Managing the emotional weight of being a neurodivergent child's primary advocate

Finding sustainable ways of caring without losing yourself
COACHING OPTIONS & PRICING
FREE INTRO CHAT (20mins) — £0
A relaxed, no-obligation conversation to talk through what's going on for your family right now, ask questions, and find out whether coaching could help. No pressure — just a helpful conversation.
FREE INTRODUCTORY CHAT
Individual (Parent) Coaching Session — £65
A focused 60-minute session to untangle what's happening and think clearly about next steps.
Sometimes you don't need a full package straight away — you need a space to talk things through with someone who genuinely understands the emotional and practical realities of neurodivergent family life.
A one-off session can help you make sense of a specific challenge such as school avoidance, emotional outbursts, sibling tension, burnout, communication struggles, or the feeling of constantly walking on eggshells.
Parents often leave with greater clarity, reassurance, and practical ideas to try straight away.
Individual coaching session
6 sessions COACHING PACKAGE — £340
Six sessions to move from survival mode to steadier, more sustainable ground.
A series of sessions allows space to look more deeply at what is happening in your family, understand the patterns driving it, and build strategies that genuinely fit your child and your family's life.
Across six sessions we work together to:
• understand your child's neurodivergent needs through a strengths-based, affirming lens
• reduce tension and overwhelm at home
• build practical routines and regulation supports that actually hold
• strengthen communication and connection within the family
• navigate school challenges and advocate more confidently
• turn insight into realistic, day-to-day strategies that feel manageable
Available as parent-only sessions, or a combination of parent and joint sessions with the young person.
6 sessions COACHING PACKAGE
Group Sessions
Group sessions bring parents and carers together in a supportive space to learn, reflect, and connect with others navigating similar experiences.
Sessions combine practical guidance with shared discussion around themes such as understanding neurodivergent behaviour, reducing overwhelm, supporting emotional regulation, navigating school challenges, and preventing parental burnout.
There is something powerful about being in a room — or online space — where you don't have to explain the basics or justify your experience.

Why Choose Infinity Neurodiversity Coaching?
All coaching is delivered personally by Aideen Smith-Watson — a qualified neurodiversity family coach with an MSc in Psychology, specialist training in supporting autistic and ADHD individuals and families, and her own lived experience navigating neurodiversity from multiple angles.
Aideen is both a neurodivergent person herself and a parent who has navigated the UK SEND and EHCP system on behalf of her own child. She understands the day-to-day realities families face from the inside — the school system battles, the waiting lists, the emotional weight of advocating for a child whose needs aren't being met, and the particular exhaustion of doing all of this while managing your own neurodivergent nervous system.
Her approach is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based framework that focuses on understanding the needs beneath behaviour — not changing the child to fit the system. This includes evidence-based approaches including Collaborative Problem Solving (Ross Greene), Emotion Coaching, and neuro-affirming family frameworks.
In person in Brighton and East Sussex. Online across the UK.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at aideen@infinityneurocoaching.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
No. Many families come before a diagnosis — while on a waiting list, during an assessment process, or simply knowing their child is struggling without yet having a formal label. A diagnosis is not required to get started.
Yes. Sessions can be with a parent or carer alone, or they can include the young person — depending on what's most useful. For younger children or families working through significant conflict, parent-only sessions are often the most practical starting point.
Yes. EHCP and SEND navigation is a specific area of support. Aideen has personal experience navigating the EHCP system as a parent, as well as professional knowledge of the process. Support can include preparing for EHCP meetings and reviews, understanding your rights, and advocacy strategies.
Absolutely. Many parents discover or begin to explore their own ADHD or autism through their child's diagnosis journey. Sessions can hold both — supporting you in understanding and navigating your child's needs, while also creating space to explore your own neurodivergent identity if that feels relevant.
Both. In-person sessions are available in Brighton and East Sussex by arrangement. Online sessions are available to families across the UK.
Sessions draw on evidence based approaches including Collaborative Problem Solving (Ross Greene), Emotion Coaching, neuro-affirming family frameworks, and practical coaching strategies grounded in psychology. The approach is strengths-based and non-judgmental — focused on understanding behaviour rather than eliminating it.
