From Chaos to Calm
Building Resilient Families through Cultivating Conscious Control
From Chaos to Calm
If you’re here, chances are you’re feeling stretched and perhaps a little defeated.
You’ve tried various methods to support your child, but their behaviour continues to feel big, unpredictable, and exhausting. And you’re left wondering, What am I missing? Am I doing enough?
The truth is, no one really prepares us for this part of parenting – the emotional intensity, the second-guessing or the guilt that can creep in when nothing seems to work. You might feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells or dreading the next outburst. When you don’t have the tools or insight to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, every day can feel like a battle.
That’s where the Conscious Control Curriculum comes in...
The Conscious Control Curriculum (lovingly known as The 3Cs) has been designed to give families simple and clear strategies to use in their daily lives. The curriculum is aimed to assist children in becoming the best version of themselves through practical, compassionate tools that will support your child in recognising their emotions and working through them – without shame or power struggles.
The 3Cs will give your family the skills to navigate the tough moments with more calm, connection, and confidence.
We focus on building skills
The 3Cs cultivates emotional development in families through clear strategies and a shared language. In-control is the goal!
With you at each & every step
Dr. Naomi’s comprehensive approach equips not just the child, but the entire support network – parents, siblings, educators – with the strategies, tools and confidence to respond consistently in all settings.
20+ years of experience
Dr. Naomi has extensive experience as a highly qualified behavioural specialist, working with clients of all neurodivergent backgrounds and disabilities.
Specialising in special children
Drawing from her own journey as a parent of children with additional needs, Dr. Naomi Richards has dedicated the last 20 years to teaching families how to recognise and respond to the feelings and emotions they are displaying.
As a highly qualified behavioural specialist with three university degrees in education and research on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), executive functioning and metacognition, Dr. Naomi has created The 3Cs to provide families with simple and clear strategies to use in their daily lives.
The 3Cs is designed to help families thrive emotionally, allowing children to become the best version of themselves. Dr. Naomi loves watching children and their loved ones transform from anxious, stressed, frustrated or angry to happy, calm, harmonious and in-control.
Through the 3Cs, families learn how to navigate emotions in healthy, positive ways that build stronger connections.
Ongoing support
Dr. Naomi doesn’t just provide an assessment, distribute homework and then leave you to figure it out. She is with you each step of the way through ongoing consultations and support.
Tailored to you
Dr. Naomi will work with you and your child’s unique wiring to implement the 3Cs, providing the support needed for children with disability or neurodivergence.
School visits
Dr. Naomi understands the importance and value of building relationships with your child’s educators, and will support them in providing consistency in all settings to see success.
Flexible consultations
Dr. Naomi understands it’s not always possible to make it into the office for appointments, which is why she offers home and phone consultations.
When we meet kids where they are, they don’t just cope – they thrive

From a grateful mother
“My child faced being expelled from school for behavioural problems if his bad behaviour continued. Through another therapist…

… I was given Naomi’s name, she came highly recommended. As a last resort to help my child, I made contact & booked our initial consultation.
From the very first appointment Naomi showed me that she is a very dedicated, compassionate person. She has a massive amount of life and educational experience. She loves her work and helping our children overcome behavioural problems and obstacles in their path.
At first I didn’t feel that her program would work for my child due to his lack of understanding. He is 8 years old is Bilaterally Hearing Impaired with Autism and Global Developmental Delay, he also has many sensory issues. Through consistency and support, provided by Naomi, my child has achieved and overcome many obstacles. He is even getting awards again from school.
His behaviour has majorly improved on all levels. Naomi has also visited the school to work with his teachers, creating consistency in the program. While he has made many improvements, he still has a long way to go, however with Naomi’s help I believe the journey is possible, she has renewed my faith.
I have no hesitations in highly recommending Naomi Richards for anyone who has a child with behavioural issues.”
From a struggling family
“We were really struggling, with our son and his behaviour issues. Our 5 year old son is non-verbal which made it very frustrating…

Everything we had read, or been told just wasn’t working. Trying to discipline him without being able to communicate seemed impossible.
My wife was recommended to go and see Naomi to help with his behaviour. In only his first session we could not believe the results. Naomi gave us the 3C’s plan and it worked!!
We are so happy with how much Ryan has settled and is learning to be GREEN and in control. Our friends and family have noticed a change in Ryan as has is teachers at pre-school.
We would recommend Naomi to anyone who is struggling with behaviour issues like we were.”
From a 12 year old client
“The most inspirational person I know and will probably will ever know has to be Naomi Richards…

I started to make bad choices, digging holes of bad habits, habits that i never realised would get me in so much trouble. Naomi is helping me get back on track. She is a person that helps many children to get them thinking – am i making the right decisions? Should I do this?
She is kind and forgiving, she never holds a grudge, she keeps a quiet voice but is still firm. You cannot push against her verbally. She is a loving caring person that will not let you down.”
From a clinical psychologist
“Naomi has been involved in providing educational supports as well as in-home and community behavioural management for a range of my clients. The outcomes have been very successful.”
