Parent Carer Wellbeing Consultancy
Support that starts with the system: helping professionals understand and respond to the needs of parent carers.
Parent carers – those caring for children with disabilities, complex medical conditions, or additional needs – face daily challenges that often go unseen. Their wellbeing is impacted not just by the demands of care but by the systems they must constantly navigate.
As a practitioner, parent carer, and trainer with specialist expertise, I offer consultancy and bespoke training that helps professionals, teams, and services better understand the lived realities of parent carers. Whether you're a health, education, social care, or voluntary sector organisation, I can support you to create more informed, compassionate, and accessible support pathways.
My approach is rooted in lived experience, clinical insight, and a commitment to relational, systemic change. Together, we can explore how your team or service can meet the needs of parent carers with greater sensitivity, sustainability, and impact.
