Psychological support to help families thrive

I’m Dr Sophia Bentley, Founder and Managing Director of Find A Way.

As an Educational and Child Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience working with local authorities, schools and communities, I’ve supported children and young people from the early years to early adulthood, assessing their learning and development and working alongside the families and schools around them. I understand how confusing and overwhelming it can be for parents trying to find the right support. That’s why I founded Find A Way: to create a space where families can access practical help, feel heard, and build the confidence to move forward in a way that works for them.

As both a professional and a parent, I know that every family’s journey is different. My passion is in helping families discover their own path, creating opportunities for children to thrive, and building stronger, more connected communities where no one feels like they’re doing it alone.

I’m Laura Andrews. With 15 years’ experience working in children’s safeguarding, I have dedicated my career to working with children and their families where there is a risk of harm and a need for support to ensure children live in a safe environment.

As a Social Work Team Manager, I have a strong belief in empowering parents and caregivers by equipping them with the tools and guidance necessary to support children to reach their full potential. I am committed to creating a collaborative and restorative environment when working with families to achieve the best possible outcome.

Not only do I bring a professional understanding of the challenges parents face, but as a mother of two young children myself, I have a personal appreciation for the complexities of parenting. This blend of professional expertise and my personal experience allows me to approach my work with empathy, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping families succeed.

I’m Hannah Flaherty Moftakhar, a Civil Servant working on Major Rail Projects where I lead on engagement and strategy. I have over 15 years’ experience managing relationships and am responsible for building and maintaining connections with key stakeholders, understanding their needs and concerns, and actively engaging with them through a project.

I passionately believe in the power of community, which can help parents to be more resilient when faced with challenges, especially in the early years of parenting. I hope that by being part of Find A Way I can use my project delivery skills to help parents to develop strong, long-lasting relationships with their children.

Outside of work I am a busy mum of twin toddlers, a keen foodie (cooking and eating) and a novice runner.

I’m Louise Carter, a passionate and dedicated Delivery Manager for a leading Financial Services firm, where I work across the Development and Data teams to manage products through their lifecycle and ensure successful delivery to the business. With a solid background in project management, I have a wealth of experience delivering key business projects.

Outside of my professional career, I’m a committed advocate for postnatal care and believe in equal access to services and education, regardless of location or financial status. As Chair of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at my children’s primary school, I work closely with both the school and parents to raise funds that enhance the children’s school experience.

A proud mother of two beautiful boys, I’m keen to get involved in supporting others during the early years. Having joined NCT during my first pregnancy, I found the network and support I received during the postnatal period invaluable, and I’m passionate about ensuring all families have access to social and professional support.
