Danielle Dixon

Hello, I’m Dani. I am an experienced Family Support Practitioner within West Sussex, supporting children and young people who are facing challenges with school, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.

Through my work with schools and families, I often support students who feel overwhelmed, anxious about school, or have lost confidence in their learning. Many of the young people I work with are capable and bright but feel stuck, unmotivated, or unsure where to start.

My sessions are calm, supportive and personalised. I focus on building trust first, then helping students develop practical strategies that make learning feel more manageable. This may include support with organisation, study skills, emotional regulation, confidence, and finding ways to re-engage with education.

I also have experience supporting neurodivergent learners, including young people with ADHD or autism, and those experiencing school avoidance or anxiety around learning.

My approach is patient, strengths-based and trauma-informed. I believe that when students feel understood and supported, their confidence grows and learning becomes much easier.

Sessions are online and tailored to each student’s needs, helping them feel calmer, more confident, and more capable both in school and in everyday life.
