Parent Coaching

Parenting—whether as a birth parent, foster carer, or adoptive parent—can feel overwhelming at times. Every family is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. What children need most is to feel safe, understood, and supported as they learn how to manage their emotions and handle life’s ups and downs.

I offer 1 to 1 parent coaching that helps you make sense of your child’s behaviour by understanding their unique biology. I’ll work with you to build your confidence in responding in ways that reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and support your child’s emotional development and regulation.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone—I’m here to help

Neurodivergence and Childhood Trauma

I specialise in supporting parents and carers whose children are neurodivergent or have been impacted by early trauma. As a mum of a neurodivergent child, I know first hand how hard it can be caring for a child who experiences the world differently. It can be emotional and exhausting but also the most rewarding and humbling role we undertake.

Taking the first step….

Taking the first step in reaching out for help can feel really daunting, but please don’t worry. I facilitate all parent coaching sessions. I know how hard it can get, the fears, the worries and the doubts.

I will listen to your story without judgement, help you find your starting point and guide you every step of the way.

Testimonials

  • A. Wells

    "My husband and I were at a complete loss as to why our life felt so difficult day to day with our 8 year old son. That all changed when we met Nicola. Nicola helped us understand what was going on inside our son's mind and body. In our coaching sessions she explained some simple techniques that we could apply day to day. It was extremely beneficial to be able to talk through situations and gain a better understanding of the many factors at play. All of which resulted in a positive outcome.

    Thanks to Nicola we now have a more balanced household where everyone is happier. My husband and I also have a lot more patience and empathy towards our son. Nicola came into our lives at a time when we felt despair. We no longer feel alone and stranded. We now know that help is out there. On a personal level Nicola is such a wonderful person. She is extremely likeable and very easy to talk to. We connected with her instantly."

  • Group coaching sessions allow parents the opportunity to reflect on and discuss a range of scenarios that may be impacting on your child’s behaviour. Some parents prefer to engage as part of a group as it creates a support network and an opportunity to share ideas.

    These sessions are facilitated to ensure that they provide a safe and supportive space where you can take a deep dive into the reasons behind your child’s behaviour and what you can do differently to set them up for success.

    Each coaching session explores a different theme relating to your child’s development and regulation, equipping you with the knowledge and practical skills required to embark on your regulated journey.
