Pinpoint Cambridge is a fantastic charity, created by parents for parents of children with additional needs. I am occasionally invited to speak as a guest, and I’m always honoured to be involved. All events are free to the public. Keep an eye on my Instagram: anchored_emotions for updates about future sessions.

Being a parent or caregiver can sometimes feel like a sensory nightmare. Especially in the early years, it can be messy, smelly, unforgiving, and exhausting!
If you have neurodivergent children, you may often find yourself in unfamiliar territory. When our children experience differences in sensory processing, it can lead to unexpected challenges with eating, sleeping, toileting, and personal care. Everyday demands can feel like insurmountable tasks.
And if you are also neurodivergent, this journey can feel even more layered and overwhelming. You may be navigating your own sensory sensitivities, executive-function challenges, or emotional regulation difficulties while trying to meet the needs of a child who relies on you. That does not mean you are failing—it means you are human. You deserve support just as much as your child does. Your wellbeing matters, and your nervous system deserves care, compassion, and tools that work for you too.
How can we co-regulate with our children when they are one of the main sources of our stress? How am I supposed to help them stay calm when I feel like screaming and running away? I'm trying to follow the “normal” routines, but instead of regulating my child, they seem to escalate!
Your child’s behavior is a form of communication, often linked to their sensory, physical, or psychological needs. Addressing these needs requires specific tools to help regulate their nervous system. Knowing which tools to use is where I can offer guidance and practical strategies.
As your Emotional Regulation Coach, I am right there with you—in the trenches—supporting not only your child’s needs but your needs as well. Together, we will identify your triggers, understand your child’s triggers, and build effective regulation strategies for both of you. You deserve to feel grounded, capable, and supported. And your child deserves a calm, connected caregiver who isn’t trying to do it all alone.
We’ll work together to help you stay regulated while giving your child the tools and support they need to do the same—so your whole family can breathe easier.
