Meet Rachel Tickner

JEN_7587 copy_edited.jpg

With over a decade of experience in behavioural sciences and criminology, I’ve made it my mission to help families and professionals support children in the best way possible. My approach is simple: no jargon, no fluff, just practical, evidence-based advice that works in the real world.

 

“Everyone’s doing the best they can with the tools they have—but sometimes you need a few more tools in the toolbox. That’s where I come in.”


— Rachel Tickner
