My name is Sarah. I am a mum to 2 children with tics, a 14yo boy and a 10yo boy with a diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome and a cocktail of co-occurring conditions. I have lived first hand with the battles we have to face as a parent, firstly getting a diagnosis and then finding the support that both our children and our family unit require.
 

Secondly, I am a professional who works in behavioural interventions, my back ground is Autism, an area I have worked in for many years, both in schools and delivering behaviour therapy in clients' homes & clinical settings. 

After my son was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, I became fascinated by how complex and intricate Tourette's is and how successful behaviour intervention can be for individuals with Tourette Syndrome so swiftly retrained in this area.

​

Due to the limited services available in and around England for children with Tourette's, I set up Tictock Therapy offering affordable behavioural intervention and support in 2018.

​

I have been nominated (2020 & 2021) for a National Diversity Award, as a role model in the disability sector.

I was also the winner for excellence in the health care sector in 2020 - PACC​
