SEND & NEURODIVERSITY EDUCATION CONSULTANT

Areas of Consultancy

Every family arrives at a different point. Some need clarity around a single concern. Others need a forensic review of everything that has happened and a complete plan for what comes next. Others need an experienced specialist alongside them for the long term. The ways of working below are designed to reflect these different needs.

Consultation

A focused, one-hour consultation for parents who have a specific concern, decision or question and need expert guidance to move forward with confidence.

Who is it for?
  • Parents with a specific concern about their child’s progress, behaviour or school support

  • Families approaching an important school decision or transition

  • Parents who have received a diagnosis or EP report and don’t know what school should reasonably provide

  • Families who want expert input before committing to further assessment or intervention

What will you gain?
  • Specialist insight into your specific concern

  • Practical recommendations and immediate next steps

  • Greater clarity and confidence in how to move forward

Strategic Review

A forensic, independent review of your child’s educational history — and a precise, prioritised plan for what needs to change. Families often spend years and thousands of pounds on support that doesn’t work. The Strategic Review tells you precisely what will and in what order.

Who is it for?
  • Families with longstanding, complex or difficult-to-resolve concerns

  • Children who have received multiple assessments or interventions without meaningful improvement

  • Learners whose SEND provision feels fragmented, inconsistent or ineffective

  • Families who have been told their child is fine — but know that they aren’t

What will you gain?
  • A forensic review of all reports, assessments and school information

  • Precise understanding of why progress has stalled and what is driving it

  • A clear, prioritised and actionable educational plan

  • Guidance on communicating your child’s needs confidently to school

  • The reassurance of knowing exactly what to do next

Educational Partnership

An ongoing educational partnership for families who want an experienced specialist to remain closely involved as their child’s needs evolve. This is not a series of appointments — it is continuous, responsive oversight from someone who knows your child deeply.

Who is it for?
  • Families seeking long-term educational partnership rather than one-off consultancy

  • Neurodivergent children with complex, co-occurring or evolving learning profiles

  • Parents who want direct access to specialist teaching alongside strategic guidance

  • Families who value continuity, expert interpretation and responsive planning over time

What will you gain?
  • Ongoing oversight from a specialist who develops deep knowledge of your child over time

  • Earlier identification of emerging difficulties before they become entrenched

  • Continuity across school, home, specialist input and long-term planning

  • Reduced pressure to coordinate multiple professionals and interpret conflicting advice

  • Experienced advocacy at every stage of your child’s education

"A diagnosis tells you what a child has. It doesn't necessarily tell you what they need, and how to achieve it. That's what I do."

When progress has stalled, strategy is everything.

WHAT THEY SAY

Jane Gilmour, Clinical Psychologist, Author, Podcaster 

Three reasons to recommend Julianne. For parents: If your child has had an educational psychology assessment, it will probably describe lots of different measures of brain function and school performance. It might also include a diagnosis. Diagnoses are useful for many reasons but they are simply a short-hand for a set of difficulties that often go together. Dyslexia, for example, can have many different causes and presentations. You may need a bridge between the (necessarily) complicated information in a good educational report and communicating the day-to-day education strategies to the teaching staff who support your child. Julianne bridges that gap. She has a high-grade specialist educational background and could charm the birds from the trees with her capacity to communicate; a formidable skill-set for an advocate. You want Julianne Miller on your team. For school staff: Julianne will accurately convey complex information from the report and translate it into a support package for your child’s specific educational needs at school. She will give school staff practical and effective methods that are tailored to your child’s educational profile. She moves beyond a broad diagnosis, which while important may miss the subtleties of your child’s issues. Most importantly, she understands the simplest strategies are most likely to be implemented day after day. For your child: As your child grows up, it is increasingly important for them to make or ask for changes in their learning environment so that they can maximise their abilities. This might mean asking a teacher to talk more slowly, for example. Therefore it is very important that young people understand their own educational profile so they play to their strengths and accept their vulnerabilities. Julianne tells it straight, with humour, sensitivity and in language that is at once engaging, understandable and empowering.
