You know your child is capable of amazing things. They’re creative, thoughtful, intelligent - but somehow, managing the demands of school and life feels like an uphill battle.

Maybe it’s the endless reminders to start homework.

The forgotten assignments.

The after-school meltdowns.

Or that sinking feeling that your child is working twice as hard, but only getting half as far.

You know they’re capable — but something is getting in their way.

I work with students who think and learn differently, helping them build the structure, skills and self-belief they need to succeed, both in school and in life.

Whether it’s ADHD, executive function challenges, or simply a different way of thinking, we focus on what’s really going on — and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.

And parents? You’re not left out of the loop. I check in regularly, share practical ideas, and work with you to help carry the strategies through at home — so your child stays supported between sessions.

I offer in-person sessions because real connection leads to real change, especially for students with executive function challenges. Face-to-face sessions make it easier to build trust, stay engaged, and work through strategies in practical, hands-on ways. It’s often where students feel safest to open up, try new tools, and build confidence. Online sessions are available where it’s a better fit, but most families find in-person support makes all the difference.

What I offer

Individual Executive Function Coaching Sessions - We’ll work together to build the executive function skills your child needs to thrive: focus, organisation, time management, planning and self-regulation. Using evidence-based coaching frameworks and neurodiversity affirming practices, we’ll tap into your child’s strengths and interests to create practical tools and strategies that actually stick.

Strengths-Based Approach - Instead of focusing on what’s “wrong”, we identify your child’s unique strengths and use them as the foundation for building skills. They’re there - sometimes we just need to unlock them.

Parent Partnership - You’re not left out of the loop. I provide regular check-ins, practical strategies you can use at home, and guidance on how to support your child without becoming the “homework police”. When everyone’s on the same page, real change happens.

Personalised Learning Support - Using processing modalities research, we’ll discover how your child’s brain receives and processes information. Whether they’re a visual learner, need movement to focus, or learn best through conversation, we’ll build systems that work with their wiring, not against it.

Real-World Application - This isn’t theoretical- every strategy we develop gets tested and refined in your child’s actual life. Homework time, morning routines, study preparation, managing multiple commitments - we work on what matters most to your family right now.

Available online across Australia and globally. Also available in-person in Northcote, Melbourne.

Is coaching the right fit?

Coaching might be a great fit if your child:

  • struggles to plan, prioritise, or stay on top of schoolwork

  • forgets due dates, loses things, or leaves things until the last minute

  • finds it hard to focus, get started, or finish what they begin

  • gets overwhelmed or emotionally dysregulated by everyday challenges

  • is bright and capable, but their results don’t reflect their effort

  • struggles to grasp the difference between homework and study/revision

  • needs support managing competing demands (school, extracurricular activities, part-time work)

  • seems anxious, unmotivated, or is starting to lose confidence

  • has ADHD, might have ADHD, or simply learns differently from their peers

  • learns differently, has executive function challenges, or needs personalised learning strategies

If you’re nodding along to any of these…you’re in the right place.

You might be ready to take the next step if:

  • You feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to stick

  • you’re exhausted from repeating yourself, your child doesn’t seem to listen, and you’re tired of being called a “nag”

  • homework time has become a battleground — or a meltdown zone

  • your family is struggling with daily organisation and planning

  • you’re worried your child is losing confidence, motivation, or joy

  • you’re unsure how to help without damaging your relationship

  • you wish someone could just step in with a plan (and take some of the pressure off you)

  • you know your child needs support — but you don’t know where to start

Still nodding?…you’re not alone. Coaching can help lighten the load — for your child and for you.

“The work Ebony is doing with him is really great. The organisation and planning ahead is fantastic! I’m sure this will also build his confidence. I think he feels more in control now, which makes it easier to ask for help.”

FAQs

  • Not at all. A formal diagnosis isn’t necessary. Coaching supports any student who is finding things like planning, organisation, time management, or focus challenging. While these difficulties are common in students with ADHD, many young people — diagnosed or not — can benefit from building executive function skills and confidence.

  • Nope — coaching isn’t therapy or tutoring. I don’t diagnose, and we won’t be going over subject content. Instead, I focus on how your child learns. We’ll work on building practical skills, confidence, and strategies to help school — and life — feel more manageable.

  • I mostly work with upper primary, secondary and early university students — roughly ages 10 to 21. That said, if your child falls just outside this range and you feel coaching might be a good fit, feel free to get in touch.

  • Coaching sessions are designed to be one-on-one with your child. Giving them space during the session helps build independence, confidence, and ownership over the process. That said, I’ll keep you in the loop through regular check-ins, and you’re always welcome to reach out if you have questions or insights to share.

  • Coaching isn’t therapy, but it can be a great support for students who are feeling stuck, anxious, or unmotivated about school. We work gently, at their pace, to rebuild confidence, create structure, and start regaining momentum — one small step at a time.

  • I offer in-person sessions because real connection leads to real change, especially for students with ADHD. Face-to-face sessions make it easier to build trust, stay engaged, and work through strategies in practical, hands-on ways. It’s often where students feel safest to open up, try new tools, and build confidence. Online sessions are available where it’s a better fit, but most families find in-person support makes all the difference.

  • Every student’s journey is different. We’ll check in regularly to review progress and goals, and make sure coaching continues to meet your child’s needs. When it feels like the right time to pause or wrap up, we’ll talk it through together and plan a smooth transition.

  • This is very common — especially if school has been stressful or past support hasn’t helped much. My approach is gentle, strengths-based, and designed to meet students where they’re at. We won’t jump straight into planning tools or productivity — we’ll start with building rapport, understanding what feels hard, and working from there. A little trust goes a long way.

    If they’re hesitant, we can start with a shorter session - to say hi, ask questions, and take the pressure off. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to get things rolling.

  • That’s okay! Coaching is a partnership, and it’s important that it feels like a good match. If either of us feel it’s not quite the right fit, I’ll always be open and transparent — and I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction for other support options.

  • Coaching is not a crisis intervention or therapeutic support. It’s best suited for students who are ready to engage in a forward-focused, collaborative process — even if they’re feeling stuck or unsure where to start. If your child is currently experiencing acute mental health challenges or needs clinical support, therapy may be a more appropriate first step. I’m always happy to help guide you toward the right kind of support.
