A Space for You. A Stronger Home for All.

If you're parenting or caring for a neurodivergent child in Torbay, you already know the weight that doesn't always show. The early mornings. The advocacy meetings. The moments you hold everything together for your family while quietly running on empty yourself.

You don't have to do this alone.


Introducing a new 6-week parent therapeutic group


Starting Tuesday 6th October 2026, we're opening a safe, supportive space for parents and carers of neurodivergent children to come together - to share, reflect, and build practical tools for the everyday realities of family life.


This isn't a lecture, and it isn't a diagnosis-focused programme. It's a room built for you - the parent holding it all together - to be met with understanding instead of judgment, and to leave with real, usable ways to support both your child and yourself.


What the six weeks hold


  • Week 1 - Feeling Less Alone. Building a sense of safety and shared experience from the very first session.

  • Week 2 - Understanding Overwhelm. Making sense of sensory load, stress, and the cumulative pressure of family life.

  • Week 3 - Shame, Guilt & Fatigue. A space to unpack the self-judgment and exhaustion that so often go unspoken.

  • Week 4 - Relational Safety. Practical tools for emotional regulation and repair at home.

  • Week 5 - Identity & Acceptance. Reframing the family story around neurodivergence, and finding unconditional belonging within it.

  • Week 6 - Sustaining the Parent. Building the ongoing support and boundaries that carry you forward after the group ends.


The details

  • Starts: Tuesday 6th October 2026

  • Time: 10:00 – 11:30

  • Venue: Endeavour House, 228 Union Street, Torquay, Devon, TQ2 5QS


Your wellbeing matters too

This group is for any parent or carer of a neurodivergent child in Torbay who's looking for connection, understanding, and practical support - not just for your child's sake, but for your own.

Invest in you. Invest in your family. Together, we thrive.
