About technical assistance

My Technical Assistance service provides calm, practical support for people who want technology in their homes to work better for them, not against them. I help with setting up and configuring devices after a house move, improving Wi-Fi performance, configuring parental controls, advising on home automation, and bringing clarity to everyday digital challenges like managing emails and freeing up cloud storage. With a patient, coaching-led approach, I focus on reducing frustration, building confidence, and helping you create a home technology setup that feels supportive, secure, and easy to use.

Moving home can raise a surprising number of technology worries. From getting the TV working on day one to making sure Wi-Fi reaches every room, as well as reconnecting laptops, phones, printers, and smart devices. I take care of the setup and configuration, explain things clearly along the way, and make sure everything works together as it should. The aim is to help you settle into your new home quickly, so that you can unwind from the unpacking and help you feel settled in.
