1-1 Live Session with Marie

Sometimes you don’t need another course — you need the opportunity to talk through what’s happening in your classroom with someone who understands. Book a private 1:1 consultation with Marie to explore a challenge, think through what might be happening for a pupil, and identify practical, neuro-affirming ways forward. Bring your questions, concerns or the situation you’re finding difficult. Together, we’ll reflect, problem-solve and develop realistic strategies that fit your pupil, your classroom and you. Personalised support. Practical ideas. A safe space to think things through.

What You’ll Gain from Your 1:1 with Marie

Marie has spent her career teaching, advising, training and working alongside teachers, children and families. Her 1:1 consultations offer teachers a confidential space to bring a real classroom concern, explore what may be happening beneath the behaviour, and find practical ways forward that recognise the needs of both the child and the teacher.

Personalised Support — Talk through a specific pupil, classroom challenge or situation and explore what may be happening beneath the surface. Practical Strategies — Leave with realistic, neuro-affirming approaches you can put into practice in your classroom.

A Fresh Perspective — Step back from a situation and consider it through a relational, trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming lens.

A Safe Space to Problem-Solve — Ask questions, share concerns and think things through in a supportive, non-judgemental 1:1 conversation Qualifications She is currently a doctoral candidate, researching autistic children’s social experiences in mainstream primary schools and educators’ understandings of how best to support them.
