The first sessions with Caroline was like heaven for me. She let me speak all the time so I could get out all the trouble and worries I carried through that difficult time. She was always very supportive and kind, she never told me what to do best or how to deal with things. She always let me get in there on my own by showing me better solutions and talking through all things with her. I must say that those sessions with Caroline opened my eyes in many ways and I found some of the answers that I have looking for in parenting. I would recommend Caroline to other parents who want space to talk and help working with the children they love to make life better all round. She made a real difference to us at a difficult time and we really appreciate it.

I had some 1-1 sessions with Caroline which were so useful in helping me to understand my reactions to my children's behaviours. There was no judgement or questioning, just a safe space to unpick my parenting with support from Caroline. Really powerful and well worth doing. Highly recommended.

“Before doing this course we were stuck in a rut with our youngest living on peanut butter and crackers. Josephine* and Caroline are both so knowledgeable and understanding because as well as knowing their stuff they’ve also been there as parents. The course was packed full of practical advice and lightbulb moments that helped make mealtimes easier and less stressful. Our five year old will now give almost anything a try, it’s such a relief. Thank you!”

The workshop had this fantastic mix of providing proactive techniques and tools to better navigate the range of tween challenges we are working through, plus just listening to other parent stories that made you feel less of a failure. The exercise at the start still stays with me now 2 years on - what is so special about your child…. Wow I loved that time to appreciate.

Caroline is very skilled at coaching - she gently guides you through a process of self-awareness and self-discovery. She leaves you with the strength, resilience and emotional tools to deal with the challenges of everyday life. I left the workshops feeling calm and confident and with a renewed strength and awareness of my needs and my family's needs. It was a fantastic investment in my family and our future together
— JEM Parenting Workshop Participant & 1-2-1 Coaching
The workshop approach was positive and I felt that the friendly environment enabled us to share freely with respect. The sessions were engaging and well organised with a good pace throughout. The topics and examples were very useful and relevant. I recommend the workshop without any hesitation as it invites us to reflect and also raise awareness of how we interact with our tweens.
— Venus Tweens workshop participant
Just to say thanks ever so much for the recent coaching sessions. They have really helped me to 'unpack' some of the things I find particularly challenging when it comes to parenting and you were always so kind and warm, putting me at ease. I appreciated the balance between you listening to me during our appointments and the straightforward strategies you would also suggest I consider too. It's good to know I can come back to you whenever I need to
— Hayley 1-2-1 coaching
Thinking through what I actually wanted to accomplish has made all the difference. It turned out that it wasn’t that I wanted my children to stop bickering it, it was that I wanted to be calm when they did. You helped me work out why I wasn’t calm and then how to be. It feels such a relief to know I’m capable of reacting better! Thank you!
— Katherine 1-2-1 coaching
Sharing with other parents, having some concrete actions to implement, work sheets to refer to and knowing I can come back with some questions all made the workshop useful & beneficial for me.

I just wanted to thank you for such an enlightening and helpful coaching session - it wasn't a comfortable process (!) and I wasn't expecting it to be so intense but something has shifted in my consciousness since our session - almost like a release and I'm finding it so much easier to deal with H! It really has helped so much.

Caroline’s parents of tweens course was brilliantly helpful. Caroline is calm, considered and has a great sense of humour. I found her very easy to work with and the groups both on and off line were great vehicles to figure out how to be a better parent.
— EMMA G tweens workshop
In short Caroline’s brilliant and worth her weight in gold!
— a super grateful mummy
I thoroughly enjoyed the Wellbeing for Parents Workshop. It had a great balance of socialising and getting to know people, group discussion and learning tips and strategies to support my wellbeing journey, including a pinch of theory. Caroline is so personable and relaxed which adds to the workshop.
— Kamelia
Caroline’s straightforward, practical and most importantly ‘do-able’ advice has been invaluable - especially THIS year!
She made me understand my (not so little) darlings and see the world from their perspective; crucially she then showed me the tools to navigate and avoid conflict with them, to recognise the triggers that cause these conflicts and how to defuse communication pinch points.
I truly believe I’ve become a calmer and more in control parent. The proof is that my children are both handling their own frustrations now without shouting or sulking or bribing; because I’m not doing those things to them anymore.
— Miranda tweens workshop participant
So many things made me angry. Working out how to respond differently has really helped. I can not believe the difference your coaching has made to my relationship with the kids.
— matt 1-2-1 coaching
I watched B in the playground without assuming he’d kill himself. It’s not that he was doing anything safer, but I felt so much less panicky and in control that I was able to see there wasn’t any major risk.
— gemma 1-2-1 coachin
I didn’t feel judged but you seemed to ask just the right question. Still not really sure how it all happened but I feel so much lighter despite the sessions themselves sometimes being quite deep and at times heavy (although never overwhelmingly so). My baggage seems to have been ditched and there is so much less yelling.
— mum of 3 1-2-1 coaching
Thank you for helping me realise my reaction was all to do with me and what I was thinking. I was blaming the kid’s behaviour for so long and feeling more and more out of control. I have my question to hand and now know I am capable of being calm. I also know what to do if I don’t always manage to channel that calm!
— sarah parents of 4-9yr workshop
Caroline is warm with a great sense of humour. It did sometime feel like hard work but really that bit was my brain chugging into gear after thinking about nappies and tantrums for so long! I’m not feeling so bogged down anymore which is definitely due to her skill.
