What this programme is
An education-led, psychology-informed programme focused on building confidence, skills and understanding, tailored to your child.
What this programme is not
This is not therapy, counselling, or clinical treatment, and it is not a substitute for clinical support. Where a child would benefit from therapeutic or clinical input, we will say so and help you find the right professional.
Who it's for
- Children who find it hard to get started or know what to do first
- Children who lose track of tasks, homework, time or belongings
- Children who struggle with focus, planning or finishing things
- Children with ADHD, autism or executive function differences
- Children who rely heavily on adults to stay organised
- Children who feel overwhelmed by busy days or big tasks
Outcomes we aim for
- A child who can get started with less stress and less prompting
- Practical systems your child can actually use and keep up
- Steadier focus, planning and follow-through
- More independence, and less daily friction at home
- Confidence that they can manage themselves and their world
How the programme works
- We start by understanding where things break down for your child, without judgement
- Practical, personalised strategies for starting, planning and finishing
- Tools for managing time, tasks, attention and belongings
- Building independence step by step, so your child relies less on adult prompting
- Confidence built alongside skills, because feeling capable matters as much as being organised
- Approaches that fit your child's profile, including neurodivergent ways of thinking
A clear pathway from first conversation to lasting progress.
Many families continue with ongoing weekly coaching after the programme. There is no obligation to continue, but the option is always there. Ongoing sessions are £125 per session, with no fixed end, for as long as they are useful.
Qualified teacher, psychology graduate, and award-winning specialist educator.
Ruby Klineberg is a qualified teacher with Qualified Teacher Status and a BSc Psychology (Hons), and winner of London Teacher of the Year 2021. With ten years working with children and young people across the UK and internationally, she supports both how a child learns and how a child feels.
Qualified teaching background
Classroom and specialist experience across London schools brings clear knowledge of progression, assessment, school expectations, and age-appropriate teaching.
Psychology and child development
A background in psychology supports careful attention to motivation, confidence, emotional regulation, and how each child feels safest and most ready to learn.
Additional needs and neurodiversity
Sessions are adapted for neurodivergent learners and children with additional needs, without lowering expectations or making a child feel singled out.
Frequently asked questions
Is this therapy or counselling?
No. This is an educational, psychology-informed programme. It is not therapy or counselling, and it is not a substitute for clinical support.
What ages is this suitable for?
The programme is designed for children and young people aged 7 to 18, with sessions adapted to the child's age, confidence, and context.
My child has ADHD or is autistic. Is this suitable?
Yes. The programme is strengths-based and built around how your child actually thinks and works, rather than expecting them to fit a standard system. It is coaching and skill-building, not clinical treatment or assessment.
