Who I Support Across Bedfordshire
I support children, young people, adults, and families who are navigating ADHD, Autism, executive function challenges, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, mental health difficulties or periods of change. My approach is warm, neurodiversity‑affirming, and grounded in psychological expertise.
I work with:
-
Children who struggle with anxiety, behaviour, emotional regulation, mental health difficulties or school pressures
-
Teens facing overwhelm, low motivation, exam stress, or identity challenges or mental health concerns
-
Neurodivergent adults seeking ADHD or autism-informed coaching and support with mental health or emotional wellbeing
-
Parents wanting guidance, clarity, and practical strategies
-
Families adjusting after a diagnosis, during transitions, or experiencing stress related to neurodivergence or mental health
ADHD & Executive Function Coaching
Practical, structured coaching to support organisation, planning, motivation, focus, and overwhelm. I help children, teens, and adults develop personalised systems and strategies that strengthen executive function and work with, not against, their neurodivergent brains.
Autism & Neurodiversity Support
Neurodiversity‑affirming guidance for autistic children, young people, and adults. Support includes sensory understanding, communication strategies, emotional wellbeing, and post‑diagnosis adjustment, helping individuals and families navigate daily life with confidence.
Adult ADHD & Autism Coaching
Specialist coaching for adults seeking clarity, emotional regulation, and practical tools to manage ADHD, autism, and executive function challenges. Support focuses on reducing overwhelm, improving daily routines, and building sustainable habits aligned with your neurotype.
Emotional Wellbeing & Mental Health Support for Adults
Evidence‑based psychological interventions for anxiety, OCD, depression, low mood, stress, emotional regulation difficulties, and broader mental health challenges. I provide structured, clinically informed treatment tailored to adults seeking meaningful change and improved psychological wellbeing.
Psychologically informed coaching for adults experiencing the challenges of a painful breakup, divorce, or unresolved grief from past relationships. The Conscious Uncoupling™ process supports emotional healing and personal growth, and can be especially helpful for parents navigating separation while wanting to protect their children’s wellbeing during this transition.
Relationship & Separation Coaching
Therapy Intensives
Short on time, overwhelmed, or needing more focused support?
Therapy Intensives offer focused, extended sessions (1.5+ hours) designed to create meaningful progress in less time.
🧩 Focused, In‑Depth Sessions: Longer sessions allow space for emotional processing, clarity, and practical strategies without the stop‑start of weekly therapy.
🕒 Flexible Scheduling: Ideal for busy parents, professionals, or those needing support during periods of increased stress or transition.
⚡ Efficient & Impactful: Intensives can accelerate insight and change, reducing the need for long‑term weekly sessions.
🧠 Available for All Services: Including child and teen therapy, ADHD coaching, autism support, adult neurodiversity coaching, parenting guidance, family support, and Conscious Uncoupling™.
About Me
I’m Freena Tailor (she/her), a Psychologist (FMBPsS) and Certified Executive Function Coach with over 10 years’ experience supporting children, young people, families and adults. I provide private psychological therapy and ADHD coaching online and in person in Bedford.
My Background
I trained in NHS CAMHS as a Clinical Associate in Applied Psychology (CAAP) in my previous NHS roles and completed my clinical MSc in Applied Psychology for Children and Young People — a programme accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). I specialise in children and young people’s mental health, delivering psychological assessments within my scope of practice, therapy and coaching for a wide range of emotional and neurodevelopmental needs. My work is grounded in evidence‑based approaches and a deep commitment to inclusive, neuroaffirming practice.
My Experience
I have worked for many years in NHS Specialist CAMHS, providing therapeutic interventions, psychological assessments, and consultation to Social Care and Education teams. I currently work as Programme Director for two postgraduate programmes at a leading UK university, training clinicians and supervisors in child and adolescent mental health.
My Approach
When we work together, I take time to understand your unique experiences, strengths, and challenges so that any support we plan is genuinely tailored to your needs. My approach is typically short‑term and focused, often beginning with eight to ten sessions before we review your progress and reflect on your goals.
I draw from a wide range of evidence‑based therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT, Solution‑Focused Therapy, Attachment‑Based and Parenting interventions, Mindfulness‑Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Systemic approaches. This integrative style allows me to adapt therapy to what feels most helpful for you, whether you’re seeking support for emotional wellbeing, neurodevelopmental needs such as ADHD, or challenges within family relationships.
My experience spans a broad spectrum of mental health and emotional difficulties, and I aim to offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s going on, build new skills, and move towards meaningful and sustainable change. My work is grounded in inclusive, neuroaffirming, evidence‑based practice, with a focus on helping you make steady progress and feel confident in the direction you’re heading.
