Support for parents
Parent Coaching and consultations
Parenting in the modern age is a critically–important, 24/7 job. And it is hard – especially in the current climate, where we are facing constant changes and challenges. The fact is that we are raising children in a world that is vastly different to the one in which we grew up, with a future that is advancing rapidly. This can easily become overwhelming, and we can often feel underprepared or deskilled.
I offer parenting support through coaching sessions focused on supporting you in your role. These can be held in person or online.
The coaching spaces I create are a safe place to share challenges, offload, feel heard and problem-solve. The aim is to develop confidence, new skills and understanding, and have a clear idea of next steps.
Equipping parents with extra tools and a better understanding of themselves and their children can often make all the difference to how families manage changing and challenging times. This isn’t something for just some of us: there are times when we all need a little extra support and space to think and grow.
In our sessions, I aim to bring my unique knowledge of coaching, child development, psychology to support parents in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, their children and their families in order to feel more confident in their interactions and parenting approaches.
CHALLENGES DIFFER FOR EVERY ONE OF US, BUT HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE SUPPORT I CAN OFFER TO PARENTS:
parenting and anxiety, mental health and wellbeing
parenting challenging behaviours and supporting your child to develop emotional regulation
parenting through transitions (moving home or school, separation, or changes in the family)
parenting through the teenage years
understanding and supporting social communication development in your child
understanding and supporting your child with autism
understanding and supporting your child with ADHD
understanding and supporting your child with sensory needs
managing screen time
Consultation sessions
What do they involve?
-
Initial session
At the initial session, I meet with you to hear the concerns that you feel you have. This is your space to talk in depth about the experiences you have been navigating.
As we move through the session, we will begin to develop a practical, achievable plan for you to start to put into place.
We will then book a review session to check in on progress.
-
Review session
At our review session, we will focus on the specific outcomes we talked through in the initial session and look at how the plan is going.
This process of support and accountability will enable you to effectively embed your desired plan into your daily family life.
-
Further support
For some parents, two sessions are sufficient. For others, we may schedule a couple of additional sessions to give ongoing support and continue to adjust your plan to meet your needs.
