Our Approach
Within our team, we bring knowledge and expertise in child and adolescent development and applied psychology, enabling us to deliver high‑quality training and coaching across all areas of development – physical and sensory; communication and interaction; cognition and learning; and social, emotional and mental health.
We offer input on specific topics on child and adolescent development or on key interventions, or through our wider project‑based work.
We adopt either a training or coaching model, depending on what will best support your staff, ensuring our input is tailored, purposeful and impactful.
Our TRAINING APPROACH focuses on building knowledge and skills through a structured and informative approach, designed to develop shared understanding and confidence in key interventions and areas of SEND. Examples of delivery vary from bespoke in-person training to our regular virtual twilight sessions, which staff can book onto and access as and whenever they need.
Our COACHING APPROACH is more practical and individualised, supporting staff to apply learning directly to their own practice and offering opportunities for interventions or strategies to be modelled in real time with children and young people.
Our current virtual twilight sessions:
More Than Picky Eating: Understanding Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) – A Practical Overview
This two-hour introductory session for families and professionals provides a clear and accessible overview of the difference between ‘fussy’ eating and the more complex eating disorder, Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
The session explores how anxiety, sensory sensitivities and fear can influence children’s eating habits at home and at school. It helps participants understand why certain foods or eating situations can feel overwhelming for some children and offers practical, everyday strategies to reduce pressure around food, respond supportively to eating challenges and promote emotional well-being. It is designed to build understanding and confidence and is suitable for those seeking a foundation-level introduction to ARFID.
Sensory Processing and Emotional Regulation

Our current full day training sessions:
More Than Picky Eating: Selective Eating Disorder (SED) and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
This full-day, in-depth training session supports families and professionals to develop a deeper understanding of restrictive eating, including Selective Eating Disorder (SED) and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
The training explores in detail how anxiety, sensory sensitivities, fear and past experiences can affect children’s eating. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of why food can be especially challenging for some children and how well-intentioned approaches can sometimes increase pressure or distress.
The day provides practical guidance, including strategies to reduce pressure around food, support emotional regulation and promote positive, supportive eating environments. There will be opportunities to explore real-life examples and consider how approaches can be adapted to individual children.
This session is suitable for those seeking a more comprehensive and applied understanding of restrictive eating and how to support children at home and in schools
