So Glad You Found Your Way Here

Parenting is the most important — and most under-resourced — role many of us will ever

take on.

There’s no formal training. No universally reliable map. And if you’re raising a child who’s

emotionally intense, divergent, or simply doesn’t respond to the usual parenting advice… it

can feel like you’re the only one walking this path.

I want you to know — you’re not alone. And there’s nothing wrong with you or your child.

A Bit About Me

I’m Leanne — mother of four (all grown now), partner, and mentor to families raising children who don’t fit neatly inside the “parenting books.”

I became a mum at 22, fairly young compared to many of the more recent generations of parents, with pretty much a “fly by the seat of my pants attitude”. As a military partner we were in a foreign country, I didn’t have family nearby. Most of my friends were just as green as I was.

What I did know was that I wanted to do things differently from how I was raised. I loved my parents — I still do — but when I was a child they were emotionally volatile and as an undiagnosed ADHDer I felt unseen and misunderstood. And if you’ve landed here, I’m guessing you might know that feeling too.

Back then, I didn’t know terms like neurodivergence, developmental mismatch, or emotionally unmet needs. I just knew I didn’t want my kids to grow up feeling like I did.

Fast forward several decades, and I’ve spent years reclaiming who I was born to be and learning about human behaviour and developing insight and understanding of why we do the things we do. This has lead me to be passionate about supporting families through some of their most challenging seasons — from trauma recovery and relationship rupture, to raising kids with ADHD, PDA, ASD, ODD, or just a high need for control that makes traditional parenting feel like a battlefield.

My Zone of Genius

I’ve been called “a cat with a ball of string” — meaning I can look at complex, messy situations (the kind that feel like an impossible knot to you) and gently help you unravel them.

I’m not here to fix you. I’m not easily overwhelmed by emotion, chaos, or “too muchness. ”Instead, I offer a steady presence, clear insight, and the kind of perspective that comes from years of lived and professional experience.

You don’t need a one-size-fits-all solution. You need a personalised approach — one that honours you, your child, and your family system.

How I Work

I’m not here to sugar-coat. I’m here to support you — kindly, honestly, and wholeheartedly — to become the parent, partner, and person you’re ready to be.

Clients work with me because I’m frank but kind. I don’t let personal BS or internalised shame get in the way. I believe you already have what you need — it’s just been buried under layers of expectation, old programming, and survival strategies.

Together, we clear the noise so you can return to your natural clarity, compassion, and confidence.

I walk alongside you as you:

  • Build strong, secure relationships with your child (even when they’re wildly intense or non-compliant)

  • Navigate the relationship with your partner and other adult relationships in your life.

  • Reclaim your own identity and values as a woman and parent

  • Explore rupture and repair and discover skills that serve your family for life

  • Create a new legacy — one built on trust, empathy, and emotional fitness

You Are Not Broken

You’re here because something inside you knows — it doesn’t have to be this hard.

You want your child to thrive, not just survive. You want to feel good about how you’re

showing up. And you want to feel like a confident mother and a worthy woman — without

losing yourself in the process.

That’s where I come in. I offer clarity, support, and practical insight — grounded in science, human behaviour, and

my own lived experience as a neurodivergent mother of neurodivergent kids.
