Meet Rebecca. Founder of Square Peg Kids

I’m Rebecca Briggs, a Neurodiversity Consultant and Parent Coach with over 35 years’ experience supporting children, families, and schools. 

I’ve taught children from ages 3 to 18 and worked as a Senior Leader, a Senior Mental Health Lead, and a Designated Safeguarding Officer in specialist SEMH schools. 

These roles demanded both clinical insight and compassion — a deep understanding of how children’s brains, emotions, and environments interact, and how to keep children safe and supported in environments that don’t always fit their needs.

But my deepest lessons didn’t come from classrooms or leadership training. They came from home. As a mum to neurodivergent kids, I’ve lived through the meltdowns, the sleepless nights, the tough school meetings, a brutal and prolonged burnout, and the heartbreak of watching my children be misunderstood. That lived experience taught me as much as any professional role ever could.

At Square Peg Kids, I bring together:

• Professional expertise from decades in education, safeguarding, and mental health.
• Lived experience as a parent walking the same road as you.
• Practical, evidence-based strategies like Plan B, PACE, and Peaceful Parenting, adapted for real family life.

✨ My mission is simple: to help parents create calmer homes, stronger connections, and the confidence to know they’re not alone — because your child isn’t “less than.” They’re a Square Peg, and they deserve a world that sees their value..
