Parent Outreach Support
Practical, relationship-based help for parents of primary-aged children
If everyday routines feel like a battle — leaving the house, bedtime, school mornings, or family meals — you are not alone. Some children experience the world in ways that make ordinary expectations feel genuinely overwhelming. For many families, traditional parenting advice simply doesn’t work.
Our Parent Outreach Support offers practical, relationship-based help for parents of primary-aged children, grounded in neuroaffirming practice and psychological understanding.
Who delivers this support?
This service is led by Nikki Hammal, SEND Specialist. Nikki works closely with — and is guided by — our Educational and Clinical Psychology team, ensuring support is consistent with your child’s profile and any assessment-led formulation.
Who is this for?
Parent Outreach Support is designed for families of children in Reception to Year 6 (including children who are developmentally younger), particularly where a child is:
-
anxious, avoidant, or emotionally dysregulated
-
experiencing shutdowns, meltdowns, or running behaviours
-
struggling with transitions at home or school
-
at risk of school refusal, exclusion, or escalating family distress
It is also for parents who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burnt out and want calm, practical strategies that actually work in real life.
What does outreach support involve?
Sessions may be offered in your home or in clinic, depending on what’s most helpful. Support is practical and collaborative and may include:
- co-regulation and regulation strategies to reduce escalation
-
visual supports (e.g., Now and Next boards), timers, predictability and routine-building
-
sensory-informed approaches (e.g., deep pressure, sensory tools, environmental adjustments)
-
PDA-informed, low-demand coaching tailored to your child and family
-
parent-only sessions to problem-solve and build confidence
Nikki’s role is to understand and to help you build calm, connected approaches that reduce overwhelm for both you and your child.
Location
Home outreach visits are available within approximately a 10-mile radius of our clinic at The Old Dairy, Hambledon, including areas such as Winchester, Alton, Petersfield, Chichester, Portsmouth and Southampton.
Fees and availability
Sessions are £70 per session and can be arranged as home visits or in clinic.
To ensure support is psychologically informed and appropriately targeted, families typically access this service following either our Comprehensive Pre-Screener or a full assessment, so Nikki can work from an established formulation with MDT guidance.
