You do not have to carry this alone.

One-to-one parent coaching for families navigating autistic burnout recovery, masking, nervous system overwhelm, and the  “long middle” of recovery where things can feel confusing and uncertain.

Coaching offers a steady, compassionate space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and find neuro-affirming support that meets your family where you are.

You might be here because:

  • Burnout recovery feels slow, fragile, or different from what you expected.
  • You feel emotionally exhausted from carrying so much responsibility.
  • Advice about autism, behaviour, or burnout recovery doesn’t seem to fit your child.
  • You’re second-guessing yourself constantly.
  • You want neuro-affirming parent support that feels relational, practical, and grounded in real family life.
  • You need somewhere you don’t have to explain everything.

 

Coaching is not about fixing your child or rushing autistic burnout recovery.

It’s about helping you better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, reduce pressure where possible, and support both your child and yourself with more steadiness and clarity.

Together we might explore:

Understanding burnout recovery

Making sense of autistic burnout recovery, nervous system overwhelm, masking, shutdown, emotional dysregulation, and why recovery can feel slow or inconsistent.

Reducing pressure and demand

Exploring low-demand, nervous-system-informed parenting approaches that support safety, trust, and connection.

Parenting through uncertainty

Navigating school stress, burnout recovery, family dynamics, capacity changes, and difficult decisions with more steadiness and support.

Supporting your own nervous system

Making space for your emotional wellbeing, identity, grief, overwhelm, and the invisible load you carry as a parent.

What Parents Are Saying:

Tanya’s support and guidance have been life-changing for our family. She helped us better understand our daughter, adjust our parenting, and move from crisis toward a calmer, healthier place. Her knowledge, clarity, and compassionate approach made us feel deeply supported throughout the process. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

What coaching with me is like

This is not a high-pressure or “push through” approach.

Sessions are gentle, collaborative, and guided by your family’s current capacity.

You do not need to arrive with the right words, a plan, or all the answers.

My role is to help you slow things down, recognise patterns, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and support you in finding steadier ways through autistic burnout recovery.

Tanya Valentin

What Parents Are Saying:

Tanya is a safe space and a wealth of knowledge. Her calmness and understanding of burnout helped me better understand both my own experience as a parent and how to support my 16-year-old son. We were new to autism and burnout and had so many questions. Her coaching brought clarity, guidance, and reassurance during some of our hardest days. Tanya came into our lives at just the right time.”

Do you work with parents who don’t have a formal diagnosis for their child 

Yes. Many of the families I support are still exploring what’s going on for their child or are in the long wait for assessments. You don’t need a diagnosis to receive support — if your child is struggling and you’re feeling overwhelmed, that’s enough.

Can both parents attend coaching sessions? 

Yes, absolutely. If both caregivers are involved and want to attend, that can be really helpful. You can attend together or separately — whatever works best for your family.

What’s the difference between autistic burnout coaching and therapy?

Coaching is non-clinical and future-focused. I won’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions, but I will support you with tools, strategies, and compassionate guidance to meet your family’s needs. Many parents find coaching is the “in-between” support they’ve been missing.

What if I feel too overwhelmed for parent coaching right now?

That’s okay — it’s incredibly common. You don’t need to come prepared or have all the answers. Part of my role is helping you figure it out together, step by step, in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

Can parent coaching help with autistic burnout recovery?

Yes. Parent coaching can help autistic burnout recovery by helping you better understand what burnout can look like, reduce pressure at home, and respond in ways that support your child’s nervous system rather than overwhelm it further.

While coaching is not a medical or crisis service, research and lived experience both show that nervous system safety, reduced stress, relational support, and responsive environments can play an important role in recovery over time.

A note about scope of support

Coaching is designed for ongoing, non-crisis support and is not a substitute for emergency mental health care or therapy.

If you or your child are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact emergency or crisis support services in your area.
