Personal Coaching for Parents and Professionals
Practical wisdom when it matters most
My coaching helps you bridge the gap between the parent you aspire to be and the one you discover you actually become, when parenting gets messy. I specialise in supporting parents and professionals caring for children who struggle with severely dys-regulated behaviour.
I help you recover hope, strength and resilience, whilst gently tending to what hurts. You gain new insights into your own and your child’s behaviour, and learn how to read and tune in to subtle cues, so you can trust you can respond to your child’s needs with intuition and sensitivity. We explore practical tools, unique to your situation, that help you skilfully guide your children through extremes of activation, including aggression, defiance, and withdrawal.
Grace under pressure
Some parenting struggles will always be beyond our influence and control. That’s why we explore the kinds of rhythms, rituals and practices that turn your home into an oasis of dignity, love and belonging, even through chaos and uncertainty.
I help you source the kind of deep nourishment that soothes and replenishes you, and nurtures and sustains your relationships, even through conflict and confrontation.
I help you find and hold on to your senses, courage and inspiration, even when everyone else is losing theirs.
Be the parent you aspire to be
Parenting involves our head, heart, longings, loves and losses. All is welcome in our work. Whilst I don’t offer diagnosis or therapy, I do offer a soft place for your shame, rage and fears to land, whilst celebrating your unique gifts, and re-sparking your aliveness, spirit, and satisfaction.
We won't excavate past wounds, but we will hold defensive patterns with curiosity as they arise, honouring their protective power and influence on the present, whilst learning to embody new choices and ways of being. Then you can parent from a place of authenticity, congruence, and integrity. Read about my approach here.
