About us

We believe every family should have the support they need, when they need it, and be part of a community that is there for them.

Supporting families when they need it most

Find A Way was founded by Dr Sophia Bentley, an Educational and Child Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience, to help families feel heard and find practical ways forward.

Our evidence-based approach draws on specialist knowledge of trauma and attachment. It builds on what is already going well, with support shaped around each family’s strengths and needs.

Educational and Child Psychologist

HCPC registered, PYL37228

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 spent my career helping families navigate the early years. 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.
