Parent – North Yorks
Katy has been providing support to my daughter, who has ADHD, dyslexia and DLD. When she was in primary school, we were told she would be unlikely to achieve more than one or two GCSEs and that sixth form was out of reach. Today, she has passed all her GCSEs first time and is thriving in sixth form on a full programme.
What made the difference is Katy’s extraordinary ability to connect, listen, and understand. She creates a safe, nurturing environment where my daughter feels truly seen and supported. Katy has an incredible gift for tailoring her approach to meet individual needs, building not only academic skills but also resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of independence.
The impact has gone far beyond education – my daughter has grown in self-belief, ownership of her learning, and the ability to stand on her own feet. I truly believe that without Katy’s support, we would be in a very different place today. I cannot recommend her highly enough

My daughter worked with Katy after a tricky time, and to watch her confidence bloom has been a total joy. Her trust in Katy is inspiring. I can’t overstate the difference Katy has made to her life. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I have worked with Katy since the death of my husband. Our sessions have helped me to manage my grief and to start finding life again. I am eternally grateful to have found Katy and wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone going through grief.
As a mum of a dyslexic boy, I was so disheartened and upset to receive a harsh end of term report littered with words and phrases peppered throughout such as ‘lack of focus, not concentrating, disorganised, eratic approach to homework, insufficient exam revision, did not even attempt the high mark questions in the test’. Despite traits such as concentration, self organisation, spelling and memory all being on his IEP, teachers still use the traits he finds so hard to criticise him. The lack of empathy is heartbreaking, when you can see how hard they try at home - with no recognition or praise.
Secondary school can be a cruel place for a dyslexic child, where they are cognitively able enough to participate successfully in class discussion and revision quizzes at home, but unable to get down on paper what is needed to prove how much they have learned in a time-limited exam situation. This leads to poor exam performance and further criticism from teachers, resulting in low self-confidence and lower motivation to continue trying hard. As a parent it’s excruciating to watch!
Enter KATY CAMERON!! The fairy godmother for students with additional needs and social emotional difficulties!
Katy’s advert popped up on Facebook and offered specialist, targeted support for young people. After a free online consultation later that afternoon, both my son and I committed to weekly support sessions with Katy. She was caring and curious from the outset and spoke in detail to my son about the part of his brain that worked differently to others and described how she could help with that.
During the sessions Katy offers psycho education, where she explained to my son more about ADHD. This enables him to go into the lessons feeling confident enough to contribute. He’s even started receiving merits for positive verbal and written answers - which has NEVER happened before.
In addition to supporting our son, Katy has also helped us, as parents, by providing us with specific questions to ask the school’s SENCO, recommending further tests and screening, requesting further support strategies in class aswell as reviewing exam access arrangements. The support that is now on offer to our son has transformed his daily experience at school.
Katy Cameron provides a combination of caring support to young people alongside effective l strategies, all underpinned by recent research. She also helps parents navigate through the choppy waters of having a child with addition needs.
Beyond delighted that our paths crossed and we have been able to access her specialist support.
