Family tech consulting

A calm tech plan for the whole family.

Kids, parents and grandparents all use technology differently. I help your household set up devices safely, protect against scams, and feel confident using the tech you already own.

Your first consultation is always free.

How it works

Sorted out at your kitchen table.

  1. Free consultation

    We talk about who's in the house, what devices you use, and what's worrying you.

  2. Set up together

    I set up controls, security and devices with you — explaining each step as we go.

  3. Confidence to carry on

    You're left with everything working and clear notes, and I'm a phone call away.

Common questions

Do the kids need to be there?

It helps to have their devices, and it's often useful to include older kids in the conversation — but it's your call.

Can you help my parents who live nearby?

Yes — many families book a visit for parents or grandparents who want patient, one-on-one help.

Is this a lecture about screen time?

No. You decide the rules for your family; I help you set them up so they actually work.
