Why this work is personal to me
Thrown in at the deep end. No handbook.
When my wife and I adopted, we were thrown in at the deep end: two toddlers, big emotions, and accommodating additional needs from day one. There's no handbook for that.
Parenting quickly became less about "getting it right" and more about staying steady in moments that felt overwhelming.
"My eldest is neurodivergent with significant speech delay and additional needs. That's shaped how I understand parenting more than anything else — especially around regulation, safety, and connection."
That experience is why I focus so much on strain, capacity, and what happens in the moment when things start to escalate. Because for many parents navigating similar challenges, it's not about doing more or having the perfect approach — it's about being able to stay clear-headed when it matters most.
My coaching isn't born from a textbook. It's forged in the messy reality of trying to stay steady when things feel overwhelming. I built this programme because I know firsthand that for parents facing similar challenges, the goal isn't perfection — it's having the capacity to respond clearly when it matters most.
