When I became a mother to four wonderful children, I entered a world I knew little about. I quickly became aware of so many children struggling because they didn’t fit the mould - labelled with ADHD, ASD, dyslexia, and more - yet with little guidance on what was causing their difficulties or how to help. I saw firsthand the impact on families as they adapted to support their children.

Some differences are apparent from toddlerhood, others only emerge at school. While neurodivergence brings incredible strengths, it can also be an uphill battle. I refused to accept that a label was the end of the journey or that the only options were costly ongoing support or medication.

I wanted to understand the root causes and explore whether there were effective, evidence-based ways to help. While such interventions existed, they were often scattered, limited to individual practitioners, and focused only on narrow areas.

Nearly a decade ago, this inspired me to launch The Key Clinic - a professionally run clinic offering multiple game-changing therapies under one roof. A place that:

• Thoroughly assesses the root causes of difficulties

• Recommends only evidence-based therapies likely to help

• Operates with integrity, humility, and a commitment to outcomes

There’s a saying: “You are only as happy as your least happy child.” I’m thrilled to report that my children are thriving - all successful, happy, and thriving in their own ways.

We called it The Key Clinic because our mission is to unlock the potential of as many children and adults as possible, helping them lead happy, healthy, successful lives.

Now, there’s a good reason to get out of bed in the morning!
