"I just wanted to thank you for today's group session. Listening to you was the first time I have felt that any professional really 'gets it' in terms of what we are experiencing. Everything you covered was incredibly helpful and will definitely help me to support my child at home." 

Mother of 13 yr old Autistic daughter 

"Kate has really helped me to view my child (and myself!) from an entirely different lens which has provided us with such a deep sense of understanding and compassion for ourselves and each other as we navigate life.
This is something we will be forever grateful for."

Nicole, mum of a 7 year old AuDHD PDAer

"I am a homeschooling parent to two children who have profiles of ASD, ADHD, dysgraphia, tourettes, coeliacs disease and anxiety. We have been working with Kate for some years now and talking with her never fails to bring affirmation, understanding and helpful ways forward. Kate not only has a huge bank of knowledge in the areas of giftedness and neurodiversity but has years of experience of living the life of neurodivergence. Thank you for all that you do, Kate!"

Alice

"Over the years, I would estimate that we have engaged with at least 12 different professionals in relation to our neurodivergent children and Kate has been the most helpful and practical by far. She is a warm, kind, empathetic person and it feels very safe to open up to her. She teaches practical skills to help parents change their children's lives and their family's dynamics."

Janet, parent of autistic PDA teenager

"To find a therapist who just “gets” my autistic kids is an amazing feeing. Kate’s compassion, understanding and depth of knowledge about neurodivergent issues mean that her advice is always useful and relevant.
I thoroughly recommend her to any parent who wishes to understand and help their child.
Thanks Kate 🙂."

Sam - Autistic, ADHD + Parenting Autistic, ADHD children

"I feel your insight into PDA has really helped our whole family and our 16 yo especially become more aware and knowledgeable around his nervous system disorder and how we have learnt to help him become more regulated and be able to venture a little further into the world and learn some strategies to keep him regulated and at peace."

Mother of 16 yo autistic PDAer

“How do I meet everyone's needs at the same time when there is only one of me and I do not have support? I don’t know how to manage when one child’s sensory need to make sound and touch others triggers my other child.”

"I get told I am spoiling my neurodivergent child by focusing on regulation and I worry that I am not preparing them for a life of independence in the real world.”

"I am exhausted from advocating for my child’s needs at school, with doctors, even among friends and family but I am not sure if I am even doing it right or what I need to ask for.”

“What do I do when I struggle with their neurodivergent behaviours and expressions?” 

“How do I get my child to school on time and not rush them and trigger a meltdown?”

“I don’t know how to manage my own sensory and emotional overload. How am I supposed to meet theirs as well?”

"I am constantly questioning if I am being fair to my neurodivergent child and their siblings especially when they have opposing needs"

"How do I affirm my child’s neurodivergent identity while also protecting them from criticism for being themselves?"

"I question my decisions all the time as a parent and feel unsure if I’m doing what’s best for my child and my whole family.’

"Feeling very nurtured today thanks to Kate from Dynamic Parenting. I love being part of this online parenting program and community that embraces Neurodivergence. 

It has been a game changer for me." 

Renata 

"Your advice for me personally was in short, pretty revolutionary, and you've given me both food for thought and the impetus to make some important changes. In short, I think you're pretty rad! 😀"

 Cat, parent of 10 year old boy, ASD & Gifted 

"Kate helps me to find practical and flexible ways that work for the whole family to make our home a calmer and happier place. Kate is also a passionate advocate for neurodiversity- affirming practice, and I feel a great sense of safety knowing she is on my team and there to support me both when dealing with other professionals and through my own parenting journey during those times of self-doubt."

Mother of 7 yr old AuDHD PDAer

"I have you to thank for the relationship that we now share, which prior to your PDA guidance, was not good. We were all so frustrated with strategies that weren’t working and weren’t helpful and losing hope quickly for a future for him.
He is now ( despite this latest setback) the most regulated he’s ever been and was just beginning to come alive again."

Mother of 16 yo autistic PDAer

"I am so grateful that we found you! You really get us. Thank you.."

Parent of 6 year old gifted, Autistic, PDAer with other learning differences

"Kate is an amazing comfort to me and I look forward to our sessions each fortnight. Kate helps me to find practical and flexible ways that work for the whole family to make our home a calmer and happier place. Kate is also a passionate advocate for neurodiversity- affirming practice, and I feel a great sense of safety knowing she is on my team and there to support me both when dealing with other professionals and through my own parenting journey during those times of self-doubt."

Nicole, mum of a 7 year old AuDHD PDAer

"Working with Kate and my 12 yo PDAer has been life changing for our family. We felt heard, understood and Kate gave us simple practical ideas to make life smoother. She helped us to set realistic goals and work toward them in a way our child needed. Not only did she help our child but helped myself and
my husband to get through some challenging times. I highly recommend
Kate as a therapist and champion of PDA."

Michelle, Mum of 12 year old PDAer
