About Calm Steps Consulting

Supporting Families. Empowering Children. Creating Calm.

​

Hi, I’m María Vega, founder of Calm Steps Consulting.

​

As a mother of a child with autism, I have a personal understanding of the challenges and joys of raising a neurodivergent child. My journey has deeply shaped my passion for supporting other families who are navigating similar experiences. This personal insight, combined with my professional expertise, allows me to connect with families in meaningful ways and provide support tailored to their unique needs.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Special Educational Needs and have obtained certifications in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), with additional certification in PACt therapy. With several years of hands-on experience in these therapies, I have gained invaluable knowledge in providing both individualized and holistic support.

​

While I am not a licensed BCBA, I offer family coaching and behaviour support grounded in ABA principles, always adapting the approach with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and practical strategies that families can integrate into their daily lives.

​

At Calm Steps Consulting, my goal is to empower families, especially those navigating autism and ADHD, by equipping them with respectful, effective strategies that promote growth, understanding, and calm.

Our Philosophy

​

At Calm Steps, we believe real support should be:

​

• Gentle and strengths-based

• Grounded in practical, evidence-based tools

• Collaborative and family-centered

​

You bring the insight. We bring the strategies.
Together, we create what works for your world.

​

How We Help

​

We support families navigating:

​

• Morning and bedtime routines

• Emotional regulation and meltdowns

• Creating calm, consistent structures at home

• Strengthening communication and connection

​

Every family is different. That’s why our approach is always tailored, compassionate, and designed for real life—at home, in your unique environment.

Although I’m based in London, I work with families across Spain and the UK through online consultations and coaching. I offer sessions in both Spanish and English, with full cultural sensitivity to support families no matter where you live. Whether you’re navigating support systems in Spain or adjusting to life in the UK, I’m here to help.

Whether you need one-on-one parent coaching, ABA-informed strategies, or simply a calm, understanding guide—I’m here to support you.

Let’s work together to build more peace, confidence, and connection—one small, calm step at a time.
