Shellisha has been a godsend at a time when I felt completely overwhelmed, struggling to cope with the fallout of my young person’s total school refusal and the challenges of EBSA, SEMH, anxiety, and depression—conditions linked to autism that was sadly missed during their primary school years. By Year 7, everything had escalated into a full meltdown.
Shellisha stepped in as an incredible advocate during TAF meetings, making sure outcomes were achieved and deadlines were met. She explained our rights in a way I could understand, always reassuring me that I was doing everything I could to support my young person.
I also love the Family personal training sessions it’s such a positive space where I can bond with my young person while we both enjoy the benefits of exercise and focus on our well-being.
I truly appreciate the holistic approach. Thank you, Shellisha, for all you do. It’s clear you genuinely care about the families you work with, and we are so grateful for your support. -A.B.
Shellisha was an incredible source of support and guidance throughout the Special Guardianship Order (SGO) process with my niece. Her involvement through the SGO Support Package made a real difference at a time when everything felt overwhelming. She provided clear, practical advice and emotional reassurance that helped me feel more confident and informed every step of the way.
What truly stood out was how Shellisha helped us navigate my niece’s school refusal. She took the time to understand the root causes and offered thoughtful, trauma-informed strategies that were both effective and compassionate. Through her support, I was able to advocate for my niece’s needs within the education system and feel empowered rather than alone. - J.G.
Shellisha didn’t just offer support — she listened without judegment and helped me feel seen. Through Shellisha's approach, I gained not just advice but clarity and confidence in advocating for my child. Her insight around trauma and school refusal was exactly what we needed. - K.W.
I was scared all the time and didn’t want to talk to anyone. But Shellisha made me feel safe. She didn’t rush me or make me feel weird. Now I do lessons at home and it feels way better. I like learning again. - A.C.
Before I got support, I had no idea where to start. I was trying to get help for my daughter, who we believed had ADHD and possibly ASD, but everything felt confusing and overwhelming. The forms, the referrals, the school meetings — it was all just too much.
Shellisha took the time to really listen and helped me apply for a DLA, guiding me through every part of the form so I could explain things properly. She also supported me with the EHCP application, which I never would’ve managed on my own. I finally understood what the process involved and what my rights were.
When we got the diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder, Shellisha explained it so clearly. I felt like I could actually make sense of it and talk to the school with confidence. She made everything feel less scary — and more like I had someone on my side who actually understood.
The difference her support has made to our family is huge. I’d recommend Shellisha to anyone who feels lost or stuck with the system. - K.B
Shellisha has helped me in so many ways whilst going through a very hard period of my life. Her professional knowledge and insight into the issues I was facing, her advice, guidance, patience, and encouragement truly helped me to handle situations and have my voice heard. She is a person who goes above and beyond to support those she comes into contact with in their time of need. - M.M.
I honestly don’t know where we’d be without the support we received. I was completely overwhelmed trying to fill out the DLA form for my son, and I had no idea how to communicate with the school about his needs. From the very first conversation, I felt listened to and understood.
Shellisha helped me word everything properly, made sure we didn’t miss a single detail, and explained every step so clearly. She also supported me through meetings with the school—helping me understand my rights and giving me the confidence to speak up for my child.
Thanks to her, my son now has the right support in place and I finally feel like someone is on our side. I can’t recommend her enough. -O.W.
As a family, we have personally known Shellisha for several years. She has become invaluable to us. Not only because of her warmth and honesty. But also her knowledge and passion for supporting families of disabled children. - T.H.
Shellisha has been absolutely amazing in helping both me and my daughter on our fitness journey. As i am getting older, staying fit can feel challenging with the demands of work, raising children and everyday life. Shellisha helped me and my daughter adopt fitness as a lifestyle, as a result I feel healthier and stronger and most importantly have reconnected with my daughter through health and fitness — and Shellisha made that possible for us!
She kept us motivated on the days when we felt low on energy and always knew just how to encourage us without pressure. Thanks to her, we now share fitness as a bonding activity, which has brought us even closer as mother and daughter.
When I started, I was a UK size 16, and I’m now a size 12 — and that’s thanks to Shellisha tailored activities and workouts, and her amazing guidance on healthy eating. She didn’t just train us; she supported and educated us every step of the way.
If you’re thinking about starting your own family fitness journey — whether you're new, returning, or just need support — I couldn’t recommend Shellisha enough. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and truly dedicated to helping you become your best self. -A.M.
What stood out to me was how human and holistic the support felt. It wasn’t just about paperwork or ticking boxes — Shellisha took the time to understand our family dynamic, our child’s needs, and our hopes. - F.P
We felt completely lost dealing with school avoidance, but Shellisha stepped in with calm, clear advice rooted in real understanding. With her support we were finally able to take steps that honoured our child’s needs without feeling alone or judged. - E.W
I used to feel really anxious and scared about school. Talking to Shellisha helped me realise it wasn’t just me - and that what I was feeling made sense. She helped my auntie understand too. Now I feel more in control, and I’m learning in a way that suits me. -TG
School was too much for me, and no one really got it until I spoke to Shellisha. She listened, like really listened, and didn’t try to force me to ‘just go back’. She helped us find a plan that works. I feel like I have a voice now. - J.S.
