Supporting Mothers with SEND and Neurodivergent Children, Mothers on their own SEND/Neurodiverse journey in London

Welcome!

I’m Aisha, the Founder and CEO of SENstellations Advocates.

My journey began during my Degree in Psychology, Counselling and Therapies with a small 15-credit unit called Atypical Development, I discovered my true calling: supporting children with neurodiversity and physical disabilities.

From the moment I entered the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) world—first as a Teaching Assistant, Physio Assistant, SaLT Assistant, OT Assistant, Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) practitioner, and finally a SENCO Assistant—I’ve had the honour of working with incredible children with ADHD, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Angelman Syndrome, and sooo more. Along the way, I also trained as a Play Therapist and completed an MSc in Clinical Applications of Psychology, deepening not only my understanding of children’s development, wellbeing, and learning, but also recognising that to truly support a child, we must first nurture and empower their mums—strengthening their confidence and wellbeing so they feel equipped to support their child’s growth. Each child has left an indelible mark on me, inspiring the heart and mission of SENstellations Advocates

I was later diagnosed with ADHD in my late 20s. This pivotal moment not only gave me a deeper understanding of myself but also further ignited the already profound connection to children who, like me, see and experience the world differently.

 I know first hand the challenges of navigating a world not designed for the way in which my mind processes —a world where expectations often feel out of reach without the right tools. See, the thing they don’t say is: individuals with both visible and invisible disabilities and Learning Difficulties hold immense potential and a unique perspective that the world needs.

And now as a mother, I intimately understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed, isolated, or struggling to juggle everything within your own constellation of responsibilities. Mothers often shoulder the weight of everything to do with their families, and they deserve to be nurtured during the process of finding the confidence to advocate for their children. Families thrive when mothers feel supported and empowered.

At SENstellations Advocates, our mission goes beyond supporting children. We’re here for mothers  too—because when mothers  feel empowered, children flourish. This way, us amazing mothers can focus on our child’s growth, well-being, and boundless potential.
This work is my life’s purpose.

Together, we can create a world where every mother and their constellation feels seen, supported, and connected thus, making every child’s unique light celebrated. Let’s reach for the stars!
