Speak with AshaMEET THE FOUNDERProfessional experience.
Professional experience.
Evidence-informed practice.
Asha is the founder of ANCHOR Inclusion® and developer of the ANCHOR Framework. She is a registered therapeutic practitioner (GHR, GHSC, ACCPH, CTAA) with more than twelve years' experience supporting children with SEN and their families across NHS community settings in Greater London, and in mainstream primary schools supporting emotional regulation and inclusion.
She holds an MA in Medical Ethics and Law (King's College London) and an LLB, and is studying for an MSc in Psychology (Brunel University London, 2027). Her interests are child development, inclusion and the practice of SEND support in everyday settings.
ANCHOR was developed to close the gap between understanding inclusion and putting it into practice, by training the adults around a child to respond in the same way at home, at school and in the community.
One child.
A more connected circle of support.
Families and school staff bring different insights. Both deserve to be heard.
Our purpose is to equip adults with practical learning, shared understanding and space to reflect, so support can feel more consistent across the environments that matter to a child.
We provide education and professional development. Certification is provider-issued and does not replace a regulated qualification or the responsibilities of an existing professional role.
Different experience.
A shared commitment.

Learning from practice.
From 21 May to 16 July 2026, our parent-workshop pilot brought families together at community health venues and online to explore practical support for everyday life. Parents’ early feedback offers encouraging signs of learning being put into practice at home and a clear interest in connecting that support with schools.
What 24 parents reported
- 14 of 24: small or noticeable improvement
- 6 of 24: no change yet
- 4 of 24: too early to tell
Responses within two weeks, from the parent-workshop pilot. Self-reported feedback, with no comparison group.
Connecting support with schools
All 22 parents answering this question said they wanted their child’s school to work with ANCHOR.
Blue: 22 of 22 respondents.
Putting learning into practice
23 of 24 respondents had tried the strategies at home within two weeks. Those 23 intended to keep using them.
Blue: 23 reported trying them. Amber: the remaining 1 respondent.
These parent-reported responses come from a small pilot with no comparison group. They are early indications, not proof of effectiveness or a promise of individual results. The pilot involved 57 parents and carers overall; response counts differ by question. This is separate from the research sample of 104 school staff and 41 parents. These findings do not evaluate the certification course or practitioner marketplace.
