Parenting can bring experiences of wonder, along with wondering about almost everything you are doing.
At times, parents may experience overwhelming feelings of frustration or uncertainty.
There may be a recurring conflict, or issue within the family that persists despite time or accommodations.
Sometimes parents just have lots of questions about parenting that they would like professional insight on.
​​
It can be challenging to muster the energy and time to address these difficulties, particularly considering the increasing demands of modern parenting. It can be easier to wait and see if things improve by themselves and sometimes they do. However sometimes the issues disguise themselves and show up in other ways, or re-appear during life transitions.
​
Through my work with parents I see how valuable investing in professional support can be. My experience with parents has demonstrated that a significant reduction in stress within the family can be achieved when worked through reflectively.
My approach is not to be the parenting expert - I believe you are the expert of your child - and together we can identify the core issues as well as the more hidden ones to help support you towards improved parenting experiences.
Common challenges include:
-
Managing your child’s behaviours
-
Confusion about what is going on for your child
-
Confidence in parenting style
-
Co-parenting
-
Concerns about bonding with growing children
-
Divorce or separation
-
Sibling struggles
-
Communication breakdowns
-
Neurodiversity

I provide a supportive, non-judgemental, and confidential environment where parents can explore their concerns and develop practical strategies. Collaborating with someone with professional insight can provide immense relief to many parents. I am
I am flexible and accommodating in terms of our working arrangement, including in-person, hybrid, or online sessions.

How It Works:
​
PHONE CALL: We would begin with a brief conversation 10-15 minutes, no fee.
CONSULTATION: If I think I can support you we would have a parent consultation. This lasts 1 hour (£65)
​
BLOCK of 4-6: If you would like more we would schedule in some sessions. Sessions are 1 hour (£60)
AD-HOC: At the end of each block we review together. Sometimes parents need the space and time to practice before revisiting.

​
Many parents I work with continue to book session as and when they need. I work in a tailor-made way to the individual parent, parents or caregiver.
