SERVICES
Support that meets you where you are.
Tailored services for girls, families and organisations.
Dramatically Different is for every girl.
Any girl at any time in her life could be excelling or struggling, or a bit of both.
Dramatically Different is about meeting every girl where she's at.
No one is exactly the same or should feel compelled to be the same, we are unique.
Teen girls are now one of the highest-risk groups for internalising disorders (anxiety, depression, withdrawal).
There can be long waits for traditional and clinical services, these may be costly or fail to connect.
Dramatically Different is an alternative form of support.
As a highly experienced coach, consultant and mother, my approach is warm, grounded, deeply caring and respectful.
My creative toolkit finds a way to engage every girl, from the most hesitant participant to the NIDA aspirant.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Modern parenting asks a lot.
You’re managing school commitments, multiple schedules, work and your family's wellbeing—while trying to stay connected and present. All parents can feel stretched, unsure, and concerned they’re missing something important in their children's development or needs.
Choosing the right support for your child matters. This is where Dramatically Different may assist.
Girls are growing up in a world that makes demands on them before they're ready, from influencer culture, to body image, to academic achievement, on top of just coping with day to day life.
Dramatically Different gives your girl a safe personal space to grow, explore and feel seen—away from pressure, noise and online expectations. If you’re looking for creative non-clinical support that is genuinely about understanding her, this is where your girl can safely be herself.
Coaching with Erika is gentle, relational, trauma-informed and grounded in experience, tailored to girls who think, feel and learn differently.
Parents/Guardians can expect:
- Transparent communication
- Clear progress updates
- Practical strategies to support confidence at home
- A collaborative, respectful approach
Your daughter is supported — and so are you.
Everygirl

Dear Everygirl,
You are special, your life is unique. One size doesn't fit all because each and every one of us is Dramatically Different. I work with all kinds of girls going through all sorts of stuff, to find their own voices and become confident in being who they are. There are things that are possible in relationship with a dedicated coach that can remain out of reach when you're on your own. Dramatically Different is coaching made for you and with you. I want you to know that you are always welcome, however you show up.
Kindly yours,
Erika
