What is Coaching for Parents?

Discover confident, calm parenting; free of stress, anxiety and guilt.

If parenting calmly and confidently feels impossible it’s not because you’ve failed.

It’s because you need attention; to be listened to, to be supported and to be encouraged to think through your challenges and discover how to overcome them.

Often as parents, we wish things were different. We look for ways to manage our children’s behaviour and ways to change our reactions to that behaviour.

We look for solutions outside of ourselves, we wish for an instruction manual, a 10 steps to perfection list, a quick fix.

We hear or read advice and give it a go. Things might be smooth for a while but then we face a new challenge and we’re stuck again. While tips from books, blogs, friends and family can be wonderfully useful and can help in the short term, they are not the same as spending time with a coach. Tips and advice don’t create the kind of lasting, sustainable change that comes from self-awareness and is necessary to meet each new stage of your child’s life with confidence.

For lasting change we need to change our thinking from the inside.

As parents, we carry a life of experience around with us. We have our own unique thought process, values and beliefs. We react to our children with our own special cocktail of love, expectation, exhaustion, anxiety, guilt and frustration.

That’s why coaching is so effective in helping us parent at our best - it acknowledges that what drives change is you as an individual.

Coaching gives you time in an environment designed to focus on you - to get you thinking at your best. It provides the space to allow you to uncover what you truly want as a parent and then the support and encouragement you need to overcome your specific set of challenges.

Whatever challenge you currently face as a parent, time with me as your coach can be the catalyst for the change you need.
