Parents and Carers
Parenting isn’t easy — especially when emotions run high! However, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
​
I offer warm, supportive and informative sessions for groups of parents and carers who want to better understand their child’s behaviours and emotions, build confidence, and feel more connected along the way.
These sessions can be booked by local authorities, third-sector organisations or any settings who wish to support the families in their care.
