1:1 coaching for when the same hard moments keep happening
Whether it's the school run, a staffroom under strain or a team that's stopped talking, the pressure tends to land on one person. SENSE™ coaching works on your real moments with you, so the calmer, clearer response becomes the one you can actually use.
Coaching for the person holding it all together
When home keeps tipping over
- Mornings, meltdowns or bedtime go the same way every day
- The scripts you've tried don't land in the moment
- School meetings feel like a battle
When the pressure keeps travelling upwards
- Attendance, behaviour or parent pressure lands on your desk
- You're the one everyone turns to, and it's wearing thin
- You want staff to respond consistently without you
When the hard conversations keep getting put off
- Tension, burnout or conflict in the team
- People are quietly disengaging or leaving
- You want to lead calmly when pressure is high
Five things we work on together
SENSE™ is the method behind AmbiSense®. It turns emotional safety into words and routines you can use when pressure is high, at home, in school or at work.
Safety
Lower the pressure around the moments that keep tipping over.
Emotion education
Understand what the behaviour is telling you, and give everyone words for it.
Nurture
Respond in the hot moment with calm, kind boundaries, then repair afterwards.
Skill
Practise the scripts and routines until they come naturally.
Evaluation
Notice what's changing and adjust the plan as you go.

Questions about coaching
Who is SENSE coaching for?
Parents and carers, school leaders such as heads, SENCOs and pastoral leads, and leaders and managers in other organisations. It suits anyone who keeps being pulled into the same hard moments.
Is SENSE coaching therapy?
No. It is non-clinical coaching and practical support. It works alongside CAMHS, your GP, occupational health, HR or safeguarding procedures, never instead of them.
Do you coach parents of autistic, ADHD or PDA children?
Yes. Everything is neurodivergence-aware, and Naomi is a parent of autistic and ADHD children herself.
Can my school or employer pay for leadership coaching?
Yes. Leadership coaching and SENSE Check Sessions can be invoiced to your school, trust or organisation.
Is coaching online?
Yes. Sessions are online, so you can join from anywhere in the UK.
How much does SENSE coaching cost?
For parents, a Calm Map session is £157, Family Reset is from £697 and Family Harmony is from £1,897. Leadership coaching and SENSE Check Sessions are priced on request.
Naomi Withers, founder
I hold a BPS-accredited qualification in psychology and a postgraduate qualification in strategic human resource management (CIPD Level 7), with more than 25 years working with families, schools and organisations. I created AmbiSense® because I kept seeing capable people blamed for problems the system had created.
