Consultancy

1. What is the focus of Knitted Minds consultancy?
Our consultancy specialises in the overlap between neurodivergence and SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health). We help schools and organisations understand how neurodivergent differences can influence behaviour and wellbeing, and how systems can adapt to better support inclusion, regulation, and engagement.

2. Who do you work with?
We work with schools, PRUs, colleges and local authorities. Whether you’re looking to improve behaviour support, strengthen staff confidence, or review inclusive practice, we tailor our approach to your unique context and priorities.

3. How does consultancy differ from training?
Training develops understanding and strategies. Consultancy goes deeper — helping you apply that knowledge to your real challenges. We work alongside your team to assess, plan, and implement practical solutions that lead to lasting change in culture, behaviour, and wellbeing. You may also want to include review cycles as part of the consultancy process.

4. What might a consultancy package include?
Depending on your goals, support may involve:

Strategy meetings with senior leaders or inclusion teams

Solution circles to address complex students or organisational challenges

Inclusion audits to evaluate current practice and identify next steps

Development of implementation plans for long-term change

Design and review of interventions that support both behaviour and wellbeing

5. What does “neuro-inclusion” mean in practice?
Neuro-inclusion is about recognising and valuing different ways of thinking, learning, and regulating emotions. In practice, it means creating systems and environments that remove barriers, affirm strengths and create space for the neurodivergent individual's voice to be heard.

6. How long does consultancy usually last?
It varies depending on your aims. Some clients may book a one-off session to tackle a specific issue; others may work with us termly or across an academic year to embed a whole-school approach. We’ll recommend a structure that fits your needs and capacity.

7. What outcomes can we expect?
You can expect clearer strategy, improved inclusion practices, better understanding of neurodiverse needs, and more confident staff. Our aim is to help you build systems that create lasting, positive change for students and staff alike.

8. Do you offer ongoing support or review sessions?
Yes. We can schedule follow-up sessions to review progress, adapt strategies, and provide reflective supervision or coaching to maintain momentum and sustain change. See more on coaching and CPD

9. How do we get started?
You can book an initial consultation call via our website or email us directly. We’ll explore your current challenges, priorities, and budget to design a bespoke plan that fits your setting.

10. Do you only work with schools in London?
No — while we’re based in London, we support schools and organisations across the UK. We also offer online consultancy for those based further afield.
