Laura Pattison

Are you looking for more than just academic support? As a QTS-qualified Primary Teacher and Level 4 Accredited Counsellor, I provide specialist online tutoring specifically designed for neurodivergent learners and those with SEMH needs.

My sessions go beyond the textbook; I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques with the National Curriculum to help students manage anxiety and build the "quiet confidence" needed to succeed.

What a typical session looks like: Predictable Structure, Total Flexibility: We start with a 5-minute emotional "check-in" to regulate and build rapport, followed by focused learning chunks. Therapeutic Integration: I use trauma-informed strategies and "Zones of Regulation" to ensure your child feels safe and supported throughout the lesson.

Interactive & Sensory-Friendly: Lessons are delivered via an engaging digital whiteboard with visual aids, interactive games, and built-in movement breaks to maintain focus without the pressure of a traditional classroom.

Holistic Growth: Whether we are tackling SATs prep or developing emotional literacy, the goal is always to foster a positive "can-do" mindset. With years of experience in specialist SEMH provision, I understand that behaviour is communication. I work closely with families to ensure every session is a step toward both academic attainment and emotional resilience.
