When everything else has stopped working.
You're not failing. You're just parenting a child who doesn't fit the mould.
We support parents when family life feels fragile or overwhelming.
When a child is struggling with school refusal, withdrawal, self-harm, eating difficulties, or masking - our focus is on rebuilding safety and understanding.
Through individual family support and small group work, we help parents create calmer, more responsive environments where connection can return and the whole family can begin to steady again.

Raising a Wild Child Values
Real-Life Tools: Strategies that work during real meltdowns, shutdowns and everything in between.
Neurodiversity Affirmation: Your child isn't borken, and neither are you.
Support for the Whole Family: We help you feel as held as your child.
Compassion With Boundaries: We lead with empathy and structure - not judgement or compliance.
Belonging: You are not alone. There is a community of families walking this path too.
Why We Do This
We've worked with hundreds of families who've felt like nothing is working.
We're here to offer tools, clarity and calm in the chaos.
What Families Are Saying
"Before Raising a Wild Child, we were in daily crisis. Now we feel connected, confident and less alone."
"This support changed everything. It made me understand my child - and myself - in a whole new way."
“The support our RAWC Associate offers is invaluable. The WhatsApp support in-between weekly sessions is so reassuring - even if we don't need to use it just knowing it's there offers peace of mind that help and support is available if we need it. I have never heard of any other service offering this.”
“Thank you for the training this morning, I have learned more from you than any other book or training session in the last 8 years. Not only for my future patients, but also for me and my family!”
"With her immense knowledge and experience, Suzan gives personal insight into neurodivergence and alchemises this into a compassionate and teachable philosophy with heaps of actionable strategies. It’s transformed our facilitators’ approach to groups with a huge positive impact on our girls."
"Things are really really good. Like we’ve turned a significant corner. She is back in school and it’s going well. Thank you for everything. There are a million other smaller wins, too many to mention but I wouldn’t be where we are today without you xxx"
