I have worked with expectant and new parents since 2002 and I trained as a coach in 2016 to be able to work with parents beyond the postnatal period.

As a mother of two older children, I am very aware of balancing family, work and me, along with the motherload, managing stress and keeping going so I can also be the parent I want to be. Having the opportunity to offload and to focus on the challenges can mean better communication, change, better balance and less stress.

There isn’t a lot of ongoing support for parents beyond the early postnatal period but there are many challenges as our children get older, which impact stress, wellbeing and relationships – ongoing support can be crucial.

For you, the person behind the parent.

With these consultations you can work through different family and personal challenges while balancing the needs of being a parent. Going beyond the postnatal period, you can focus on the issues affecting you as you and your children get older and the challenges change.

Life can be busy and you may be juggling the needs of your family with work, being a partner and trying to meet your own needs. Being able to talk it through can mean more clarity and focus and being better equipped for juggling the different demands and managing the chaos of family life, while also looking after you.

You can talk through…

• being a parent
• loss of identity
• feeling overwhelmed and in need of some thinking space
• managing everyday anxiety
• needing better life balance
• developing effective coping strategies
• focusing on the motherload
• talking through the parenting, work or family challenges
• managing stress and boosting your wellbeing
• being the parent you want to be
• needing to focus on you
• your experience of loss and grief

With the consultation series, you can arrange for sessions to run together or they can be spread out over a few weeks or months, we will work out the right schedule for you.
