About Chantal

AuDHD Mother | Psychology & Education Professional | Neuro-Affirming Autism Support

I help exhausted mothers of Autistic children move from survival mode to thriving through relationship-based approaches that honour your child's authentic self.

As an AuDHD mother of three (including my PDA autistic son) with a psychology and education background and over a decade of professional experience working with Autistic children and families, I understand this journey both personally and professionally. My approach focuses on connection over compliance - understanding what your child is really communicating rather than trying to change their behaviour. I also focus on both child and parent nervous system regulation for better outcomes for child, parent and entire family.

I specialise in:

Supporting meltdowns and child and parent nervous system through sensory understanding
School advocacy and confident communication
PDA Autism and demand avoidance support
Strengthening family relationships
Helping parents find calm and clarity

You deserve support that actually feels right as you parent your Autistic child and navigate this journey. Let's find strategies that strengthen your connection and work for your real life.
