My Approach

A parent coach with their hair pulled back too tight and wearing a skirt suit would have intimidated me (imagine The Super Nanny). I would have felt intimidated, which would have restricted the benefits I could have gained from using the service.

My genuine, non-skirt-suit-wearing, approachable judgement-free nature creates a safe space where parents feel comfortable sharing their vulnerabilities. This honesty and openness enhance coaching effectiveness and results in the best possible outcomes.

It is without question that you are the expert on your child.

We will work together to enhance your existing knowledge and skills while identifying areas where you may benefit from guidance, information, and support to navigate challenges or new situations. 

Our collaboration will fill you with a sense of empowerment, and self-assurance, and equipped with the tools necessary to confidently navigate your parenting journey.

Discovering the cause of the behaviours of concern is like completing a puzzle. When all the puzzle pieces have been put together the root cause of the behaviours of concern is unveiled.

No 2 families have the same puzzle, AKA- the root cause of behaviours of concern are never identical from one family to the next. Studies consistently show that the responsibility for behaviours of concern never lies exclusively on the shoulders of the child. Family dynamics, the home environment and the child’s community all play a part.

At best, a ‘One Size Fits All’ approach to parent coaching achieves short-term results, just as reading a self-help book would. It fails to leverage parents' existing knowledge and doesn’t pinpoint or address knowledge gaps. Furthermore, it doesn’t identify or target the root cause of the behaviour which makes it impossible to achieve long-term change.

It is for this reason my support is tailored to complement the uniqueness of each family.
