Does Your Child Find Reading or Learning Difficult?
Many children find reading and literacy hard, even when they are bright and capable. If your child struggles with language, reading, spelling or confidence around learning, I provide personalised, home-based support through carefully selected online programmes.
My work focuses on developing the underlying skills needed for reading, language and learning, whilst also building confidence and supporting emotional wellbeing.
Looking Beyond a Diagnosis
Your child may already have a diagnosis, or you may still be trying to understand why they are struggling. Either way, I look beyond labels to the individual child — the difficulties they are experiencing and the underlying skills that may need support.
The programmes I provide may be helpful if your child:
- Finds reading, spelling or writing hard
- Struggles to follow spoken instructions or process what they hear
- Needs information repeated or finds it hard to remember sequences
- Works more slowly than expected or becomes overwhelmed by learning
- Feels anxious, frustrated, or lacks confidence around schoolwork
If you’re unsure what kind of support may be right for your child, you’re very welcome to arrange an initial conversation.

The Listening Program®
Neuroscience-based music listening therapy designed to improve brain health and functioning. Neuroacoustically modified music trains the brain, supporting auditory processing, attention, communication, language and learning.
The Movement Program®
A research-based 12-week movement programme designed to develop fundamental brain skills for reading and learning.
Progressive movement activities develop visual, auditory, rhythm and motor skills, while supporting balance and coordination.
What Parents Say About Smart Processing
Please accept our gratitude for all your support, encouragement and direction whilst Emma has been doing Fast ForWord. She has clearly benefited greatly from the programme. We found your weekly summaries and tips and direction a really valuable translation of the reports that we received each week.

My son made great progress with Fast ForWord and can now read simple texts independently. This is something we thought we might never see, yet I now believe he can go all the way with reading.
Mary is excellent. Very friendly, helpful and supportive.

Parent
My 11 year old son had a wide range of behaviour and learning difficulties including dyspraxia, hypermobility and sensory and auditory processing problems. Training with The Listening Program at home we noticed improvements in just four weeks. Not only would I highly recommend it, I also listen to it myself and feel so much better as a result.

Vestibular Therapy: Why Movement is the Key to Sitting Still
If your child struggles to sit still, focus in class, or keep up with reading, you might assume it's purely a behavioural issue or a sign of ADHD. But what if the real answer lies somewhere far more physical? What if their brain simply hasn't received the right signals from their body yet?
