For Mums drowning in the relentless tsunami of their neurodivergent child’s meltdowns.
The PAUSE Method™
is your life raft.
You don’t need any more generic parenting advice from people who just don’t know what life is like living with daily meltdowns, nervous system overload, school battles and guilt you can’t shake… you need a proven system that actually helps you reduce the meltdowns and get you safely back to shore.
You’re at breaking point with your neurodivergent child’s meltdowns - you can’t handle the yelling (theirs and yours), the hitting, kicking, throwing … you’re scared to be around them, they’re so volatile and you don’t trust your own reactions any more because your patience has worn so thin.
***
Your whole body braces for what’s coming next - their facial expression shifts, their body stiffens, they make the noise - and you know exactly where you’re both headed…
You’re back in the eye of the storm for the 5th time before breakfast, battling a force of nature that you just can’t control.
You have convinced yourself that this is a YOU problem.
You can’t talk to anyone about how bad it is, because you think a good parent should know how to handle this.
You feel desperately alone, isolated and falling further and further into despair.
You see, even when your child is diagnosed with autism and/or ADHD, the diagnosis doesn’t explain what to do when they're on the kitchen floor screaming because their trousers are too scratchy while you're already late for the school run and your hands are shaking because you don't know if you should wait it out or try to comfort them or threaten them with the 100th consequence of the morning (yeah - as if a permanent screen ban is the answer).
You're walking on eggshells, permanently in fear of the next irrational thing that will ‘set them off’ (wrong colour bowl, a biscuit that was snapped before it came out of the packet etc). And when family members and the school-drop-off-mafia suggest "firmer discipline," you want to scream louder than your child, because they just don't get it.
You find yourself nodding along to their well intentioned suggestions of sticker charts and screen time bans, and even though you’ve already tried them 100s of times, you think - “no, this time they will work, this is what good parenting is all about”.
And then (funnily enough) they don’t work.
And every night you’re crying into your pillow, exhausted, defeated (too tired to even string a sentence together to talk to your partner about what to try next) feeling like the worst parent to ever step foot on planet Earth.
Because what kind of a parent yells at a child with additional needs?
You know their brain works differently and they need help - and you’d totally give them all the help in the world if you could just get a break from the meltdowns. You can’t catch your breath in between the screaming fits, the ‘tantrums’, and dodging the flying missiles being launched at your head.
You want to learn about their needs but you simply haven’t got any mental capacity remaining.
Parenting autism and ADHD feels like studying to be an Astro-Physicist whilst simultaneously training for a marathon on a deadly minefield of unexploded devices.
Absolutely bloomin’ exhausting: mentally; physically; and emotionally.
(Don’t worry … this is the part where you fix it. Keep reading!)

What is The PAUSE Method™? *
-
What’s happening in your child’s body when emotions take over.
This is where you stop thinking “are they just being naughty?” and discover the science behind your child’s ‘explosions’. It changes EVERYTHING.
You will create a personalised “in-the-moment” plan that will de-escalate the VERY next meltdown you face — calmly, quickly, and confidently.
-
Calming yourself first so you can guide them back to safety.
This is where you finally ditch the guilt about your reactions - you’re not a bad mum for yelling - this is what happens when your nervous system is pushed beyond its capacity.
Discover a grounding technique with instant impact, so you stay steady even when your child is spiralling.
-
Noticing and challenging the stories that fuel frustration or guilt.
This is where you stop asking “How will they ever manage to hold down a job if they treat their own mum like this?”
Use my brain-hack strategy to shift unhelpful thoughts and rewire your responses — creating calmer reactions without the guilt spiral.
-
Seeing behaviour as a sign of overload, not defiance.
This is where you see how much your child is actually tolerating, and what’s pushing them over the edge.
Build a simple plan to instantly reduce daily overwhelm — and start seeing your child cope better with demands straight away.
-
Setting calm, consistent limits that build trust and connection.
This is where you move beyond the meltdowns and towards a home that feels safe for EVERYONE, without compromising on your values.
Steal my boundary-setting formula so you can approach tricky conversations with confidence — firm, clear, and without starting a war.

I created The PAUSE Method™ so you don’t have to learn the hard way like I did.
Hi, I’m Laura—educator, parent coach, and mum to neurodivergent twins.
I’ve lived through the screaming mornings, the shutdowns, the guilt, the tears.
I’ve also spent 19+ years working in education, most recently specialising in SEN and coaching 100s of parents and young people through the hardest moments of their lives.
I created The PAUSE Method™ to give you what I desperately needed when I was locked in the downstairs loo, silently crying, desperate for things to change but not knowing where to turn.
It’s a simple, clear and compassionate roadmap out of meltdown misery — and a chance to reconnect with my child (and myself) along the way.
This is not for the mum who’s still hoping things will simply improve with time — that her child will “grow out of it,” or that firmer and firmer boundaries will eventually make everything click.
This is for the mum who’s ready to stop firefighting and start leading with a proven plan that actually supports her child and herself.
What other mums are saying:
“I now see things far more clearly from my son’s perspective - and I now know how to help him.”
Sarah
“Laura breaks everything down into easy steps and explains things in a way that no one ever has before. Things feel so different now.”
Catharine
“There’s so much included: workbooks; short videos breaking down the method into manageable chunks; opportunities to reflect; and quizzes to check understanding. It’s helped me make lasting change for my family.”
Rebecca
With The PAUSE Method™ you will:
✔ Feel calm and in control in the moment
So when emotions spike, you’re not panicking, guessing, or snapping — you know what to do next.
✔ Quickly reduce the frequency and intensity of meltdowns
See immediate results when you meet your child’s needs before things escalate, rather than firefighting afterwards.
✔ Respond with confidence — not guilt or second-guessing
So you can hold boundaries without feeling harsh, and offer empathy without feeling like a doormat.
✔ Connect deeply with your child instead of fighting their behaviour
So meltdowns stop feeling personal, defiant, or confusing — they start making sense and you know exactly what to do to help.
✔ Be the parent you always wanted to be, even on the hard days
PAUSE™ gives you the confidence to be the parent your child needs (not the one you think you should be). It works every time - even on tired days, busy days, and real-life days.
A proven 5-step guide that works quickly, supports your child and helps you keep your head when things get hard!
Instant access • Go at your pace

It’s coaching-style support you can access on YOUR schedule — without the pressure of showing up live or paying 1:1 prices.

It’s a clear, steady anchor you can rely on when advice is loud, emotions are high, and you’re not sure what to do next.

The PAUSE Method™ is a self-guided digital course based around a simple 5-step framework that helps you understand what’s really going on behind your child’s BIG emotions — and how to respond calmly instead of reacting.
P – Physiology – What’s happening in your child’s body when emotions take over.
A – Awareness – Calming yourself first so you can guide them back to safety.
U – Unhelpful Thoughts – Noticing and challenging the stories that fuel frustration or guilt.
S – Stress & Demands – Seeing behaviour as a sign of overload, not defiance.
E – Establish Boundaries – Setting calm, consistent limits that build trust and connection.It’s about pausing before reacting — and learning to respond with confidence, compassion, and understanding.
-
Calm In The Chaos: Practical, gentle tools that actually work in the heat of the moment, with an easy-to-remember plan when nothing else seems to work.
Connection That Lasts: A clear path to move beyond survival mode and into rhythms that feel safe and sustainable, so you can reconnect with your child and with yourself.
Less Guilt, More Confidence: A non-judgemental approach that’s rooted in real-life experience and genuine compassion, not shame, blame, or trying to “fix” your child.
-
Absolutely! I have literally created The PAUSE Method™ with you in mind! I was in your shoes, I couldn't attend the local community group sessions at 11am on a Tuesday (I was at work), I couldn’t jump on a live call at 7pm on a Wednesday night (the evening doom hours!). I needed something I could access on MY SCHEDULE.
The PAUSE Method™ is exactly that. You can watch the videos or simply listen to them podcast style. You can come back to them whenever you want/need. They’re short and bitesized, you won’t feel overwhelmed by them no matter how busy you are at work or at home. This is the support I needed back when I was ‘in the thick of it’.
-
In step 1, P for Physiology, you will learn what is happening to your child when they are in meltdown. This knowledge, combined with the step-by-step action plan and script inside, will change the way you approach the VERY next meltdown (that's just a 10 minute session!).
The change in your response will positively impact on your child immediately.
The PAUSE Method™ will continue to guide you through with compassion so that meltdowns will feel less frequent, less ferocious and less overwhelming, one 10-15 minute step at a time.
-
This is why I created The PAUSE Method™. It’s not a full directory, it’s not trying to teach you EVERYTHING you need to know about your child. Because I’ve seen too many parents just like me, who are struggling to just make it through each day - theory doesn’t help us, it overwhelms us.
We need simple, practical steps to get a handle on the meltdowns that are completely consuming us. Until we can find a way to press PAUSE on the meltdown cycle, all the theory in the world isn’t going to help us.
-
Lots of people have been booking in for 1:1 support from me once they have worked through The PAUSE Method™ to really help them get clear on what’s going on in other areas of their child’s life, so I thought I’d sweeten the deal for you. On top of your massive 50% saving, you will also get a FREE Bonus Bundle including The PAUSE Wallchart™, PAUSE Pocket Pack™ and discount on 1:1 Coaching worth a total of £62!!
The total value of this bundle is £159 but you can grab it today for just £48.50!
PS: If now’s not the time for the full course, that’s totally okay.
