Navigating Parental Challenges Together

Sign up

Are you parenting a child or young person who is struggling?

Maybe you're just starting to notice something isn't quite right and feel unsure where to begin?

Or perhaps you've been navigating a complex, difficult path for some time, facing issues like school avoidance, neurodivergence, SEN, eating disorders, or other mental health problems?

Wherever you are on your journey – searching for answers, feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or worn down by the system – you are not alone.

About Us

Hi, we're Katie and Kate - GPs, Certified Coaches and specialists in Lifestyle Medicine with over two decades of professional experience supporting parents and families.

We also both have personal experience of raising our own children with additional needs. We’ve lived the struggle - searching for answers, fighting for support, and juggling the endless admin of appointments, meetings and forms. We know how isolating and exhausting it can be to feel like you're doing it all alone.

That's why we created The Survive & Thrive Collective—to provide the comprehensive support we wished we’d had on our own journey and a place to find the help you need to not just survive, but to truly thrive.
