With over 20 years’ experience, including many years at Great Ormond Street Hospital, she has spent much of her career helping children, young people and families navigate the challenges of growing up. Netali works directly with children and young people experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, stress and self-esteem, and has extensive experience supporting neurodivergent children and young people and their families. She helps parents understand what may be happening beneath the surface of their child’s behaviour and find compassionate, practical ways to support them. Alongside this, Netali offers parenting support for the everyday challenges of family life, from feeding and sleep to relationships, boundaries and managing big emotions. She also has specialist experience in pain and fatigue management, bringing a broad understanding of the connection between body and mind. Netali believes in ‘good enough’ parenting: doing our best for our children while leaving enough breathing space to enjoy family life and each other.
