Parenting coaching for families...

A parenting coach is much like a sports coach. You wouldn't expect your child to perform at their full potential at football or netball without a coach, and yet we expect ourselves to approach parenting with no assistance other than some outdated beliefs that we picked up from our own parents.  I see my job as helping you to figure out what is already working, where your strengths are as a family and then assisting you to interpret your child's behaviour to find the best solutions to current problems.

These could be one-off sessions to untangle a current baffling behaviour, or could be regular check-ins to have someone to bounce ideas off and help you to navigate the tricky waters of growing another human. Parenting is tough, and you don't need to do it alone!

Our approach to parenting is gentle, child-led, and informed by both attachment and trauma models. We can show you alternatives to punishment that actually work, help you to reduce the shouting and fighting in your home, and find ways to really engage in relationships with your children that are based on mutual respect.
