Parenting is the hardest and most relentless thing you will ever do.

And unlike other hard things – like learning a new language or climbing Everest – we are expected to do it with zero training.

In fact, it’s worse – the only training available is the internalised way we ourselves were raised that runs like invisible (unconscious) hard-wired software in the background.

And if you’re anything like me and my clients, that’s not necessarily the kind of parenting you want to model and also, you can’t raise your children the way your parents raised you because that world no longer exists.

The fairytale family you dreamed of has become a nightmare or has faded into the distance.

• The sweet two month old is now a swearing teenager.
• Your family dinners (if they ever happen) descend into arguments.
• And if you’re completely honest, every now and then you fantasise about running away to Bora Bora!

Here’s what I believe:

If your family life is unhappy you need to become a better leader of your family.

• Wallowing in guilt won’t do it.
• Blaming the school, their unsuitable friends or social media won’t do it.
• Trying to be their best friend won’t do it.

The good news is that the relationship with your children that you always imagined you would have is absolutely possible.

You just need a little help.

Through working with me, parents have…

• Finally processed decades-old emotions that were getting in the way of being a present parent for the child in front of them
• Released anxiety around never being good enough and started trusting their innate parenting instincts
• Worked out how to set healthy, consistent boundaries with authority and ease

As if by magic their child’s…

• Anger outbursts have melted away
• The dark unspeakable thoughts have evaporated
• Their social media use is no longer problematic
• They go to school in the morning without drama
• The monsters under the bed have been tamed and going to bed is no longer an issue
