Unlocking the potential of neuro
divergent children and teens to
create brighter futures, together.

I have been lucky enough to know Simon for over a decade.

As a teacher of long-standing, and an ADHD person himself, he knows how kids roll and can relate to them without trying to fit them into boxes into which they won’t/can’t go.

His intellect is acute and his problem-solving terrific. Thoroughly recommended as a professional consultant with empathy and tact.

The sunrise logo of ‘Exceptional Learners’ represents the potential of each new day! The hope that today is the day. The reminder that yesterday is in the past and now is a blank page of opportunity. Sensationally unique and beautiful it reminds us to be mindful of the moment. Sunrises just keep coming as we must just keep on going and keep on believing.​

Simon provides support across many different areas and easily adapts to what my son needs at that point in time.  I have noticed a particular difference in the way my son has developed socially and emotionally since starting to see Simon.  He used to find some family and school interactions exhausting and confusing, this would often result in him becoming upset on a regular basis.  Simon has supported his understanding of social dynamics and how to respond in various ways, rather than reacting emotionally.  Together they have explored how to solve his problems with less conflict and this has given my son more personal agency and confidence.  His friendships have blossomed and our family life is more harmonious.  He has more confidence to try new activities and more understanding of what to do if things don’t go as planned.  
 
I appreciate how Simon has spent time building a trusted relationship with my son so that now my son trusts his advice and support. Simon provides practical and useful support and we have enjoyed engaging with him. 
 
Executive functioning skills are lagging and My son says “I like to see Simon because I enjoy the sessions.  I think he is a good person to talk to and has the best insight into how kids process information and the optimal way for them to learn. He has helped me plan how to study, instead of just re-reading like the teacher said, Simon gives me a study plan that makes more sense”. 
 
I cannot recommend more highly Simon’s coaching services to families impacted by ADHD. My son has been diagnosed with ADHD and struggles with emotional regulation, concentration, forgetfulness, time blindness and stillness. At 11 he has experienced negativity and animosity from teachers, peers and family members who have no understanding of the condition and behavioural symptoms. In just a couple of sessions Simon has had a real positive impact on his sense of self and well-being. As Simon himself is diagnosed with ADHD, he approaches his client sessions with humour and fun combined with an inherent understanding of the condition from his lived experience with it that cannot be underestimated. Simon addresses and assists with the many challenges children with ADHD face, but importantly, he also emphasises the bonuses and benefits such as hyperfocus, endless curiosity, creativity and abundant energy for positive outcomes. We are taking Simon’s parent course in the new year, so my husband (undiagnosed ADHD) and I can navigate raising our boy through the tricky teenage years. With Simon’s assistance, our goal is for our son to reach adulthood with a healthy and positive attitude so he can live his best life.

I have been working with these guys since years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!

Simon has helped my husband and I really understand living with a neurodivergent child in such a short time! He’s always got a solution to our concerns. We love our coaching sessions and would highly recommend to anyone who is struggling to understand their child.

Well you think you know yourself! Myself and my husband just had our first session as part of Simon’s parenting course. My husband was sceptical and I thought I knew it all and that ‘he’ needed it more than me. 
 
Turns out I was wrong (she says through clenched teeth)!! As a mum with a late diagnosis of ADHD, I realised that my adhd is being triggered (more than I realise) and that’s just from one session!! 
 
In this session there was immediate trust, lots of AHA moments and plenty of laughter.
 
Simon, you are a brave man and I admire your passion to make a change in this space. Thank you for taking us on this journey.
