How we can help
Do you know that your family could communicate better but are not sure how and where to start?
I help parents create effective ways of dealing with high pressure everyday situations by promoting positive and authentic communication.
I build each coaching session and conversation tailored to your needs.
My Coaching
My coaching is based on the fields of:
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy – working on your core values as a parent, fostering enhanced self-awareness, kindness and self-acceptance, and working together on your goals for committed action
- Coaching Psychology – identifying & removing psychological blocks, working through unhelpful experiences and self-doubt and promoting authentic and positive communication
- Positive Psychology – identifying, utilising & celebrating each family member’s natural strengths
Parent Coaching
As each family is so unique, I don’t offer a set ‘coaching programme’. Instead, I base each conversation around your needs to promote helpful reflections to help you engage in ‘toward’ moves; moving us in the direction we desire. A brief selection of reflection tools and activities we might use are:
- Naming & noticing
- Choice Point
- Emotion behind the Emotion
- Kind Hand & Kind Mind
- Urge Surfing: My Inner Critic vs Inner Coach
- Identifying my Core Values & Natural Strengths
- Become what I CAN BE ©
- Circles of Parenting time & Me time
Family Coaching:
In my family coaching sessions, I work together with individual family members. A brief selection of some of the activities we might use are:
- Positive Profiles: Values & Strengths of each family member
- Away and Toward moves
- Compassionate Communication: your behaviour, not you
- Small acts of kindness & our Gratitude Post card
- Authentic and non-emotive feedback in high-pressure situations
- Right moment for the right message
- 3 Positive triggers
- Competitive advantage through marginal gains: small changes make the biggest difference
