Here you’ll find the work of Dr Naomi Fisher and Dr Abigail Fisher.
Naomi is a clinical psychologist, EMDR-Europe Accredited trainer and author. Since she was a small child, she has asked the world why. Why do things have to be this way – and what would it be like if it were different?
She applies this to education, parenting and clinical psychology. She asks whether school is always the best way for children to learn, and whether the things ‘we all know’ to be true about parenting are in fact the case. She pushes for new ways to understand difference and to include voices which go unheard. Her work brings psychological theory and evidence-based practice together with real life clinical experience and open curiosity.
The thread that ties her work together is her willingness to take a step outside the conventional and to challenge the status quo, even when others disagree.
Dr Abigail Fisher is an educational psychologist and qualified teacher. She has special interests in helping parents navigate complex and confusing SEN processes and in supporting parents to look after themselves so they can better care for their families. Her forthcoming book The Essential EHCP Guide for Parents and Carers will be published by Jessica Kingsley in 2025.

Does your child's behaviour confuse you? Does most of the parenting advice you are given make things worse? Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells? In this course, Dr Naomi Fisher will explain the psychology of demand avoidance. What is it, how does it affect the nervous system - and importantly, what can parents do? You'll end with a clearer idea of what is going wrong and some ideas as to how to help.
Life is full of transitions - and many autistic children find them really difficult - which means that their parents find them hard too. Life can feel like walking on eggshells. Dr. Naomi Fisher will help you gain a new understanding of why transitions are so hard, what makes it worse - and how to help.
