About Neurowise
Why emotion coaching?
Emotion coaching is an evidence-based method for emotion co-regulation, built on the understanding that emotions drive behaviour.
Children with ADHD, autism, and FASD face challenges in understanding, expressing, and managing their emotions, which can lead to behaviours that are particularly hard to handle.
By applying the latest research in neuroscience, psychodynamics, and behaviour therapy, we have adapted the emotion coaching method specifically for neurodiverse families. This includes helping adults to manage their emotions so they can effectively support children in managing theirs.
Anna Webster, Founder of Neurowise
My passion is to help neurodiverse families to not just survive, but truly thrive and enjoy life. As an adoptive mum to a gorgeous 11-year-old boy with FASD, ADHD, and autism, I have firsthand experience of how hard it is to manage the rollercoaster of emotions and challenging behaviours. I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel. And I know how much you can feel blamed and shamed by a lack of understanding and support for brain-based challenges.
Through integrating the latest academic research, therapeutic training and lived experience, we have designed a tailored programme that works. The challenges are ongoing, but applying this adapted approach to my own family has resulted in improved wellbeing for me, fewer difficult behaviours, a stronger connection with my son and a calmer family life. I am passionate about helping other families to achieve the same.
As a Coaching Psychologist, Psychotherapist in Training, Certified Wellbeing Coach, and Qualified Trainer, I bring over a decade of experience in coaching and training families and professionals.
With an MSc in Psychology with Neuroscience, an MA in Sociology and certifications in Emotion Coaching, Mindful Self Compassion and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, I have a deep understanding of emotion, behaviour, and the complexities of neurodiversity.
I’m looking forward to working with you.
