Does this feel familiar?
You love your child more than anything
But the SEND journey can leave you feeling exhausted, isolated and constantly on alert
You may be,
π Carrying everyone else's worries
π Fighting schools, services or the local authority
π Replaying meetings in your head at night
π Wondering whether you're making the right decisions
π Feeling guilty whenever you try to put yourself first
π Tired of explaining your family's situation to people who do not understand
And somewhere among the paperwork, appointments and battles, you may feel as though you have lost part of yourself too
You were never supposed to carry all of this alone
I created the support I wish I had
Hi, Iβm Emma Shaw, founder of SEND Mum Coach, a qualified coach, a SEND mum and an experienced education professional.
I spent 28 years working across education, from early years through to college, supporting children, young people and families.
My work included supporting additional needs, emotional wellbeing and mental health challenges.
But navigating the SEND system with my own autistic son gave me an understanding that professional experience alone never could.
I know what it is like to sit through meetings, complete endless paperwork, question whether you are making the right decisions and
keep fighting while trying to hold your family together.
I also know what can happen when a SEND mum carries everything for too long.
That experience shaped the work I do today.
Through SEND Mum Coach, I combine,
π 28 years of professional experience in education
π qualified coaching skills
π lived experience as a SEND mum
π a deep understanding of the emotional weight mothers carry
I created The SEND Mum Circle so SEND mums have somewhere informed, supportive and non judgemental
to turn before they reach breaking point.
Not to tell you how to parent.
Not to give you more things to keep up with.
But to help you feel heard, think more clearly, grow in confidence and remember that you matter too.
Imagine having somewhere you can finally exhale
Today was hard
I need someone to talk this through with
Am I doing the right thing?
Can someone explain this?
I actually had a little win today
A place where nobody expects you to explain why these things matter
A place where somebody is genuinely in your corner
That is what The SEND Mum Circle is here to give you
How I support you inside the Circle
The Circle is hosted inside a private WhatsApp Community, so support is easy to access when you need it.
Inside, youβll find:
π¬ The SEND Mum Circle Chat
A supportive space where you can talk at any time, ask questions, share difficult days, celebrate wins or simply read quietly.
π£ Announcements
A separate space for important dates, Zoom links, session reminders, recordings and Circle updates, so nothing gets lost in the main chat.
π» Monday Check in Day
A gentle opportunity to share how you are feeling and what support you need that week.
β Wednesday: Ask Emma a Question
Bring a question, worry or difficult situation and receive guidance from Emma.
π Friday Weekly Wins
Celebrate the big wins, tiny wins and the things you simply survived.
π€ One guest expert session each month on Zoom
Practical guidance from trusted SEND professionals, with a recording available if you cannot attend live.
π» Two small group Circle Zoom sessions with Emma each month
A chance to talk things through, ask questions and receive more personal support.
You do not need to keep up with everything. Dip in when you need support and step back when life is full.
This is not another WhatsApp group you have to keep up with
No pressure.
No guilt.
No expectation.
Join the conversations that help.
Read quietly if that's what you need.
Ask for support when you're ready.
The Circle is here whenever you need it.
You do not have to perform here
You'll probably love The SEND Mum Circle if...

β You need somewhere safe to talk honestly
β You want ongoing support rather than another one off piece of information
β You would value having Emma and other SEND mums in your corner
β You need help thinking through difficult situations
β You want to hear from trusted SEND experts
β You often wait until you reach breaking point before asking for help
β You want to feel like a woman as well as a mum again

You do not need to wait until you reach burnout.
You are allowed to ask for support now.
Imagine six months from now...
You're no longer carrying every decision on your own.
You know exactly where to turn when something happens.
You've stopped bottling everything up until breaking point.
You've found other mums who truly understand.
And somewhere along the way...
You've started finding yourself again.
Because behind every child who needs support...
Is a mum who needs support too.
A gentle note
The SEND Mum Circle provides peer support, connection, coaching-style guidance and wellbeing focused support.
It does not provide legal, medical, therapeutic or specialist professional advice. Guest experts share information within their own professional remit, and members should seek individual professional advice where appropriate.
WhatsApp privacy: When you join the member chat, your WhatsApp name, mobile number and profile photo, depending on your privacy settings, may be visible to other members. Members must not save, share or use another memberβs details, or contact them privately without permission.
You do not have to wait until you are falling apart
You have spent so long being the strong one.
Fighting for your child.
Holding your family together.
Working out what everybody else needs.
You deserve somewhere that supports you too.
If you are ready to feel heard, understood and like someone is finally in your corner, I would love to welcome you into The SEND Mum Circle.
