MTM Family Method
FREE Masterclass: Co-Pilot Your Child to a Tic Free Life
If you're concerned about your child's health, this is the best place to start. Discover proven ways to support your child with tics so they can realise their potential.
Sign-up to WebinarWho this is for
Parents and carers of a child or teen, roughly ages 8 to 21, living with motor tics (eye blinking, head shaking, neck jerking, shoulder shrugs, face grimacing, hand or arm twitches), vocal tics (sniffing, coughing, throat sounds), or Tourette's. For families who want something besides medication, or something to try alongside whatever their clinician has already suggested.
Who this is not for
- Adults looking for their own program — that is the adults page
- A child under about 8, unless a parent is ready to do most of the guiding
- Anyone looking for a prescription, a diagnosis, or a medical second opinion
What it is
The MTM Family Method is a 10-week at-home video program. You and your child watch short modules together and practice simple tools: nervous system regulation, breath and body awareness, movement, and how you respond when a tic shows up. There are lessons for the child and separate lessons just for the parent. The parent side matters. A lot of what changes first is the atmosphere at home, not a technique done once.
What it is not
It is not CBIT, not NHS therapy, and not a medical treatment. It does not claim to "cure" tics in the clinical sense. Darren's language is healing: the urges can quiet, and most families report tics reducing a great deal or stopping. Results still vary. The work is regular, short practice, not a one-off fix.
What it costs (USD)
Two options. Both are 3 monthly payments.
Videos only: $274 USD x 3. Lifetime access. 3-day free trial. First 2 modules in the trial. Cancel in your account within 3 days and you are not charged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Don't panic, and don't make the tic the main topic in the house. Get a medical check if you haven't. Then look at sleep, screens, stress, and how the adults in the room react when a tic happens. The Family Method is built for that next step: tools you practice together, not another assessment.
Recommended range is 8-21. Younger kids need more parent guidance. Older kids and teens need more motivation than instruction.
About 10 minutes of practice most days, plus watching the week's videos when you can. Most families take longer than 10 weeks. Consistency matters more than finishing on a calendar.
Videos only is the 10-week program at home. Videos + Zoom adds 3 private sessions with Darren: one kick-off call and two follow-ups. Same trial on both.
