"So much of parenting is trying to work out what to do for the best and for the first 5 years of motherhood I found myself falling back on the stuff I was taught about how children need to be disciplined.
Since coaching I have felt completely liberated from all that; to have a set of principles that empower me to treat my kids with the same respect I would treat someone my own age is joyous.
I’m no longer using fear to manipulate my children, I am understanding and respecting their experience and I’m building the kind of connection that will continue to impact how my children move through the world into adulthood."

FAQs
How do I know if I’m ready for coaching?
No reputable coach will ever try to convince you to engage in coaching. If you’re feeling resistant, ask yourself if it’s more to do with a general fear of the unknown or because the timing really isn’t right. Coaching does require some dedicated practical and emotional space, so if things are particularly stretched, I understand. You can keep in touch via Facebook or the newsletter below.
What sort of issues do you deal with?
Common themes: Limits and boundaries, anxiety and perfectionism, tantrums and defiance, physical and verbal aggression, parents losing their cool, uncooperative behaviour, poor self-regulation, sibling rivalry, difficulty talking about emotions or apologising, emotional outbursts, rudeness, a parent’s lack of confidence or joy, preferring one parent over another, lying, and much more.
What age range of children does this work best with?
Absolutely any age, from newborns to grown up children who have left home. The process is first and foremost for parents to develop themselves and by doing so, be a more relaxed and informed guide for their children.
Why would I consider coaching above other forms of parent education like books and courses?
There are so many great resources out there, some of which I’ve found useful in my own family life. Coaching goes deeper because it’s 100% personalised. There’s nothing like having someone in your back pocket to help tackle your exact issues. Someone who saves you hours of reading parenting books by summarising the theory for you.
I’m on your side without judgement or comparison. I provide the safety net to try new things and share vulnerable experiences confidentially.
Should I be looking instead for therapy or a child psychologist instead of coaching?
Possibly - we would need an intro call to explore that. I’d gladly point you elsewhere if I thought that alternative support were more suitable.
How much impact can this have if my partner has a very different way of parenting?
Most coaching clients report that their partner is on a different page regarding threats, punishments, handling tantrums, etc. I’m aware of how much of a challenge this is and so I encourage couples to attend coaching together (even if one of you prefers to listen). If this isn’t possible, we’ll talk about ways in which you can engage them through resources, modelling and conversation.
