Who it's for

Two tracks. One goal.

Coaching runs in parallel — one track for parents, one for the young person — because the whole family is part of the picture.

For parents & carers
"I want to support my child — but I'm running on empty."

You've read the books, tried the strategies, and advocated until you were hoarse. You love your child and you're exhausted. This track is for you too — not just a workshop in how to manage them, but genuine support for the person carrying most of the weight.

  • Understanding your child's brain — the science, plainly explained
  • Practical strategies that fit your actual family life
  • How to communicate with schools and clinicians effectively
  • Rebuilding your own resilience alongside your child's
  • Co-regulation techniques that actually work at home

For young people (8–18)
"I've tried everything. Nothing fits my brain."

Most systems — school timetables, revision guides, homework strategies — were designed for a different kind of brain. If yours doesn't work that way, those things will always feel like wearing someone else's shoes. We build something that actually fits.

  • Understanding your own brain — in a way that makes you proud of it
  • Sleep, energy, focus, and movement — the fundamentals, your way
  • Practical tools for school, friendships, and daily life
  • Building a self-regulation toolkit that you actually use
  • Coaching that moves at your pace, on your terms

How it works

A 12-week programme in three phases

Structured enough to build real momentum. Flexible enough to fit your life. Both tracks run in parallel, with two integration sessions where parent and young person come together.

1
Phase One
Weeks 1–4
Foundation

Understand, connect, and assess. We map your child's unique profile — strengths first — and build the baseline for everything that follows.

  • Intake and strengths-mapping
  • Brain science in plain language
  • Home environment audit
  • Joint integration session (week 4)
2
Phase Two
Weeks 5–8
Build

Skills, habits, and strategies. The practical work — sleep, movement, nutrition, focus, emotional regulation — all built around your child's actual wiring.

  • Sleep and rest protocols
  • Movement and energy regulation
  • Focus and productivity tools
  • Emotional regulation skills
3
Phase Three
Weeks 9–12
Embed

Consolidate, review, and plan ahead. We build independence — the goal is that your child (and you) leave with the tools to keep going long after the programme ends.

  • School advocacy and social skills
  • Nutrition and wellbeing
  • Identity and confidence work
  • Graduation and 3-month forward plan

About Ian

A coach who works
with you, not on you

I'm Ian Neale — a Health and Wellbeing Coach currently completing a Practitioner I Certificate in Health and Wellbeing Coaching through Bluecrest Wellness, aligned with NHS England's Tier 1 framework. My specialist focus is neurodivergent children, young people, and the families supporting them.

I've spent years working in health and education settings — and what I kept seeing was families doing everything right, but working from a map that wasn't drawn for their child. Standard advice, standard systems, standard expectations. For neurodivergent brains, that gap is exhausting.

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small, manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one." — Mark Twain

My approach is grounded in evidence, led by your strengths, and focused entirely on what's practical for your real life. I work with parents and young people together, because the most powerful change happens when the whole family understands what's going on.

What families say

Real results for real families

★★★★★

"For the first time, my son has a morning routine that actually works. Not because we forced it — because Ian helped us build one around how his brain actually operates. The difference at school has been remarkable."

Sarah M. Parent of a 12-year-old with ADHD
★★★★★

"I came in sceptical — I'd tried every system going. Ian was the first person who didn't treat me like a problem to fix. The coaching gave me tools I actually wanted to use, not ones I had to force myself to remember."

Jake, 16 Young person, autism & ADHD
★★★★★

"The parent sessions were as valuable as the ones for my daughter. I finally understood why I was reacting the way I was — and how to change it. Ian doesn't just coach your child. He coaches your whole family."

Rachel T. Parent of a 9-year-old with autism
Common questions

Things people usually ask

Is coaching instead of therapy or medication? +
Coaching works alongside — never instead of — clinical support. If your child is working with a paediatrician, CAMHS, or a therapist, coaching complements that by focusing on practical day-to-day skills. Think of it as the "how do we live well with this" piece that clinical appointments rarely have time for.
My child refuses to engage with anything new. Will this be different? +
That resistance is completely understandable — most neurodivergent young people have had years of being asked to change or comply. We start from curiosity, not correction. Young people who come in sceptical consistently surprise themselves in the first session.
Do you work with both me and my child, or just my child? +
Both. Parent coaching is a core part of the programme. You'll have dedicated sessions to explore how you can support your child at home, manage the emotional load of parenting a neurodivergent child, and communicate more effectively with schools and clinicians.
What age range do you work with? +
The young person programme is designed for ages 8–18. The content and approach adapts significantly depending on the age and maturity of the young person. Parent-only coaching is also available if your child isn't ready to engage directly.
How are sessions delivered — online or in person? +
Sessions are delivered online via video call, which works particularly well for many neurodivergent young people who are more comfortable in their own environment. In-person sessions may be available depending on location — please ask during your discovery call.
What will my child's sessions be like — will they have to talk about feelings? +
Not if they don't want to. Some young people prefer to focus entirely on practical strategies — sleep, school, energy — without any emotional exploration. We work with whatever feels useful. Your child is always in charge of the agenda.
