Hello!

Why should you trust me to support you and your family?

It’s a good question.

I always recommend that you seek out somebody whose values you share, whose experiences resonate with you, and from whom you feel a sense of warmth and professionalism.

I can help you, because:

  • I am passionate about nurturing the parent-child relationship

  • I genuinely find joy in creating meaningful relationships with other parents

  • it’s important to me to know what I don’t know - which means wherever necessary, I will signpost you for further specialised support

  • I have a varied skillset which gives me a wide and fair perspective

  • I am continually learning, increasing my self-awareness + recognising my blind spots

  • I have spent many years studying and training, and this continues

“To grow, to change what is familiar, is indeed “hard to do”. It is an uncomfortable process because we may lose our reliance on the behaviors, habits, and/or relationships that have often become second nature to us. Old behavioral patterns and habits, even old relationships, provide a psychological structure that gives meaning, continuity and predictability to our lives.”
— Richard Erskine
