Parent Appointments

I work gently and responsively. I don’t advocate cry it out, sleep training or approaches to behaviour that cause unnecessary distress or stress to children. My approach is rooted in responsive parenting and teaching.

My aim is to help parents, families, practitioners and teachers understand children more deeply and how to best support them, particularly when times get tricky. When we change how we see children, everything else starts to fall into place.

Why Parents Come to Cocoro

Advice on children’s big emotions - (sadness, anger, frustration - and their signs (tantrums, not listening, conflict with parents or siblings). This is an inevitable part of every family’s life! When we support children to handle their emotions, life becomes smoother for everyone, plus we help children to develop great coping strategies for the future.
Help with sleeping, eating, toileting and coping with change. These can all cause significant stress for parents and I can offer practical ideas - plus support for you - to reduce this stress.

Support with making family life calmer - there are steps we can take to reduce shouting and stress, increase positive communication, and boost everyone’s sense of well-being!

What I Offer

Practical advice

I’ve spent two decades learning, researching and putting what I’ve learned into practice. Plus, I continue to learn, research and reflect so you can be reassured I will never give you advice just because it’s what I learned or did 20 years ago!

A listening ear

Sometimes this alone can work wonders. Talking things through with someone who isn’t a family member or friend can be hugely helpful.

Moral support

Most of us need this at one time or another. I can help you make a plan for what you want to do, provide support along the way, and help you work through any challenges that arise.

help them feel loved

How I Work

My starting point is always to listen to the hopes and values you have for your family life, your parenting & your child. I advocate for meeting children’s needs to help them feel loved, safe, supported and respected so they can develop resilience, self worth and inner happiness.

My approach is based in following what is right for your child, and the whole family. I don’t believe in trying to sell you quick fix solutions that might work short term, but can end up actually causing more problems down the line.

I will always be honest with you & will give you accurate information based in child development to help you make the right decisions for your child and family.

Please note - as a trained holistic sleep coach and emotion and behaviour specialist, I work gently and responsively. I don’t advocate cry it out, extinction or sleep training approaches, and my approach is rooted in responsive parenting and teaching.
