Expert guidance for learning, behaviour, and emotional challenges — no diagnosis or long waitlists required.

No diagnosis required. No long waitlists. Just clarity and a clear next step.

Support for Parents of

Children Struggling at School

Parenting a child who learns, feels, or behaves differently can feel exhausting and isolating. You carry big hopes for your child, but everyday challenges — emotional overwhelm, behaviour escalations, uncertainty, and decision fatigue can make it hard to know what to do next.

At SEN Parent Support, we help families feel steadier, more confident, and equipped with real strategies that make daily life smoother and more joyful — without long waitlists or confusing jargon.

Hi, I’m Laura,

founder of Clear Path.

I'm a qualified primary teacher and SEN specialist and I know how exhausting it can feel to support a child who’s struggling.

I created this space to offer calm, practical guidance and reassurance — helping parents feel steadier, more confident, and supported every step of the way.

No diagnosis required. No long waitlists. Just clarity and a clear next step.

Professional Background & SEND Expertise

I’m Laura — a UK-qualified teacher (QTS, 2015) and SEND specialist with over 10 years’ experience supporting families. I combine practical experience, statutory knowledge, and compassion so you can confidently support your child’s learning, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing.

Key areas of expertise include:

  • Extensive experience with EHCP applications and early SEN interventions

  • Knowledge of UK statutory frameworks and Ofsted-regulated school systems

  • Practical, evidence-based strategies you can implement immediately

  • Support for families without the need for formal diagnosis

My UK training and experience means I understand statutory frameworks, Ofsted requirements, and pupil profiling — giving parents confidence that strategies are both practical and respected by schools.

Supporting Families Through Life’s Hardest Moments

I’ve sat with parents who feel:

  • Exhausted

  • Worried

  • Quietly guilty — wondering if they’re doing something wrong

  • ADHD

  • Autism

  • Trauma

  • Emotional regulation difficulties

  • Dyslexia

  • Sensory processing challenges

  • PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance)

  • Other additional needs

Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of children aged 4–11 and their families understand what their child is communicating through behaviour, so parents can respond with clarity and confidence.

Trusted by Families Across the UK

Parents often tell us they finally felt heard and finally understood their child.

"During an overwhelming time for our family, Laura provided steady, compassionate support. She helped us understand our child’s needs clearly and guided us through next steps with confidence and care. What mattered most was her focus on what would genuinely help our child flourish — not just academically, but emotionally and socially too. We felt supported as a whole family, not just as parents.”

Parent of a young child

I can't thank Laura enough for the care, patience, and understanding she has shown my son Bailey over the last 3 years. She has taken the time to really get to know his needs, strengths, and triggers, and responded with kindness and reassurance.

I would highly recommend Laura to any family needing compassionate and highly skilled SEN support.

Parent of two children

Laura is such a ray of sunshine. She has a way of making every child feel special. Her kind hearted way makes children calm in her presence. She sees the good in others and that shines through the children as they grow stronger knowing they have someone who truly believes in them. A real privilege to have her as my child’s teacher.
