Strain Relief
for Parents

No, this is coaching. While I draw on my own experiences and professional training, I am not a therapist or a clinician. Therapy often focuses on healing past trauma or diagnosing mental health conditions. Coaching, on the other hand, is forward-looking and action-oriented. We focus on what you can do now to change your responses, manage the environment, and build a steadier home. If you or your child need clinical support, I can help you find the right resources — but my role is to help you navigate the daily challenges of parenting with more capacity and confidence.

Absolutely not. While my own story as an adoptive dad to a neurodivergent child shapes my perspective, the struggles of feeling stretched, overwhelmed, and reactive are universal. I work with all kinds of families — biological, foster, blended, and single-parent households — who are navigating behavioural challenges, complex needs, or just the sheer exhaustion of modern parenting. If you feel like you're running on empty and want to find a clearer way to show up for your kids, this programme is for you.

Yes. In fact, this is where my approach is most effective. Traditional parenting advice often assumes a "typical" developmental path, which can leave parents of neurodivergent children feeling like they're failing. My coaching focuses on regulation, safety, and connection — the foundational pillars that matter most when navigating additional needs. We won't try to "fix" your child; instead, we'll work on building your capacity to stay clear-headed and responsive when things escalate, creating a home environment where everyone can thrive.

That's exactly why we start with a 20-minute discovery call. There is no pressure to sign up. In that call, we'll talk through what's happening in your home, see if my approach resonates with you, and determine if we're a good fit. If you decide to move forward, the 8-week structure is designed to be flexible — we work on what's actually happening in your life, not a rigid syllabus. If you aren't ready yet, I'll be happy to point you toward some free resources that might help in the meantime.

Yes, and I'd encourage it. Parenting is a team sport and a unified approach makes a real difference. The core programme is 1:1 but sessions can include your partner.

It's more common than you'd think. You don't need to arrive together — you just need to be open to the work yourself. Often, one parent making shifts in how they respond and lead creates enough change in the family system that the other naturally becomes curious. If your partner wants to join sessions, they're welcome — and if you'd both like to work in parallel, we can talk through what that looks like. Either way, we start where you are.

Yes. All sessions are conducted online via video call, so location doesn't matter. Whether you're in London, New York, or Sydney, we can work together. The only requirement is that we find a time that works for both of us across time zones.

Life happens, especially when you're parenting. If you need to reschedule, just let me know at least 24 hours in advance and we'll find a new time. Consistency is key to seeing real shifts in the family system.
