Question 1

Do we need a diagnosis to ask for support?

Accepted Answer

You can make an enquiry whether your child has a diagnosis, is awaiting assessment, or you are still exploring their needs. Diagnosis and assessment status are optional on the enquiry form. We start with what is making life hard and what could help.

Question 2

What do I receive after a parent support call?

Accepted Answer

Calls cost £25 for 30 minutes, £30 for 45 minutes or £40 for 60 minutes. Each includes a written overview of what we discussed, with practical suggestions, recommendations and next steps tailored to your family.

Question 3

What counts as one personalised support tool?

Accepted Answer

One personalised tool costs £25 and is created around one specific goal or area of need. It may include several personalised visuals or components that work together as the same tool, such as an I Want board, communication keyring, regulation board, Now & Next board or personalised routine. The price includes planning, expertise, individualisation, design and ready-to-use preparation, including printing, laminating, cutting and Velcro or assembly where needed.

Question 4

What if I don’t know what support we need?

Accepted Answer

You don’t need to know which package or resource to choose. Tell me what is happening and what feels difficult. A parent support call is often a helpful starting point because we can look at the whole picture and decide the next step together.

Question 5

Is Regulate & Relate therapy or a clinical service?

Accepted Answer

No. Regulate & Relate offers practical, neuroaffirming, non-clinical parent support. I do not diagnose, assess or provide medical or therapeutic treatment. I can help you think through everyday needs and practical changes, and signpost when medical, clinical or safeguarding support is needed.

Question 6

Can you support PDA / demand avoidance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can explore distress around everyday requests, refusal, negotiation, transitions and the need for autonomy or control. Support focuses on understanding demands, sensory load and capacity, reducing pressure and finding practical low-demand approaches that fit your child.

Question 7

Are resources personalised?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Personalised visuals are designed around your child’s actual routines, interests, communication and needs. They can include schedules, choice boards, communication tools, Now & Next or first/then boards and regulation supports. Planning, design, printing, laminating, cutting and Velcro or assembly are included so physical resources arrive prepared and ready to use.

Question 8

Can you support sensory / regulation difficulties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer practical, non-clinical support to explore sensory overwhelm, noise sensitivity, movement seeking, difficulty settling, after-school dysregulation and signs that capacity is running low. We can consider manageable changes and practical regulation tools. This does not replace an occupational therapy or other clinical assessment.

Question 9

Can you work alongside school or nursery support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With your agreement, I can collaborate with your child’s setting and family, share practical recommendations and personalise resources to help create consistency between home and school or nursery. This complements the support already in place.

Question 10

What happens after I submit an enquiry?

Accepted Answer

I read through the information you provide and consider what support may fit. We then agree the best starting point, which could be a call, personalised resource or wider package. Support is tailored to your child and family. Messages are reviewed on working days; this is not an instant-response or emergency service.

Question 11

Can I just book a support call without buying resources?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can have a standalone parent support call with no need to buy resources. Calls are £25 for 30 minutes, £30 for 45 minutes or £40 for 60 minutes. Each includes a written overview of our discussion and practical suggestions, recommendations and next steps.
