Welcome to Crisis to Calm with Dani
Sometimes the hardest thing to admit is that things no longer feel within your control. You may have tried every parenting strategy you can think of, from courses and programmes to behaviour plans, boundaries and professional advice, yet still feel like nothing is working. This is not about blame or failure. Some children, particularly those with complex emotional or behavioural needs. cannot simply be made to comply. What is possible, is learning how to regain safe parental authority through calm, consistent boundaries without force, fear or punishment. I'm Dani, the founder of Crisis to Calm. I created this service to provide parents with the guidance, strategies, tools and support I once needed myself. From lived experience I know how overwhelming it can feel when your child is struggling with complex behaviours linked with ADHD, neurodivergence or mental health challenges. At Crisis to Calm, I work with parents who feel stuck. overwhelmed and unsure where to turn, helping them move from crisis to calm using practical. step-by-step strategies built on love, limits, consistency and safety. My approach also draws on principles seen in recognised parenting and behavioural frameworks such as Nonviolent Resistance (NVR), systemic family work used within Multisystemic Therapy, and trauma informed parenting, while remaining grounded in practical mentoring and lived experience. You can move forward with clarity, confidence and the reassurance that you're not facing this journey alone.
What Crisis to Calm Offers
At Crisis to Calm with Dani, I offer personalised mentoring and emotional support for parents and carers, navigating the challenges of raising children with persistent, moderate to severe complex behavioral, neurodivergent and mental health needs. I work with families who are experiencing ongoing conflict, emotional dysregulation, or a breakdown in communication at home, helping parents regain clarity, confidence, and calm leadership within the family.
My support is practical and grounded in lived experience, focused on strategies that works in real family life! The approach is also informed by established behavioural and systemic frameworks, including principles seen in Nonviolent Resistance (NVR), systemic family work used within Multisystemic Therapy, and trauma informed parenting. Together we develop step by step strategies and behavioural planning that help reduce escalation, strengthen connection and restore calm, consistent boundaries at home.
Alongside this, I support parents to navigate health, education and social care systems with greater confidence, offering guidance, signposting and advocacy where needed. This may include preparation for professional meetings, support understanding reports or plans and in some cases, attending meetings alondside you, so you feel informed, supported and not alone.
