Parent One to One Coaching

Parenting neurodivergent children can be exhilarating and joyful, but there are no doubt times it also feels lonely, bewildering and exhausting.  My aim in parent coaching sessions is to support parents in the trials and joys and suggest strategies that can help bring more calm and clarity at home for both parents and children.

My approach to the coaching journey follows three steps

  • It all starts with building relationships and creating a safe space.  As a parent of neurodivergent children myself, I understand the huge array of emotions and thoughts that come with the territory, and I can provide a space where you can explore those with no fear of judgement.  I can also help you to connect better to your child by helping to deepen your understanding of how the neurodivergent brain works and what might be going on for your child.

  • With this knowledge, together we can establish goals and collaborate on systems and strategies that can be implemented at home to support EVERY member of the household. 

  • In this stage, I act as your cheerleader - providing a framework to reflect on the successes - and your sounding board - asking questions to help reflect on challenges and plan ahead.

The focus of these sessions is driven by your needs.

Some possible areas that could be included are:

  • What is your Executive Function profile as a parent?  How can you use this at home?

  • Working on the ‘hot’ EF skills of working memory, emotional regulation and flexibility

  • School refusal - what is going on?

  • Communicating with school to meet your child’s needs

  • Supporting your child at university
