Hi, I’m Katy Linsley
So good to have you here!
If you’re here, maybe you are looking for some support with your parenting? I was!
You can read more about me, the support I was looking for, and how the Hand in Hand Parenting transformed our family.
Hand in Hand Tools and Classes
The Hand in Hand tools are simple and profoundly effective, but they can take explaining, and experimenting with to impliment them well into family life. Diving into each tool, with other parents who are also learning, can be surprisingly powerful.
“I am completely enamoured with the class experience, the tools, and you, Katy, it’s been totally wonderful!”
Chiara, Mum of 2.
1:1 personalised Support
“It would not be an exaggeration to say that Katy Linsley’s work with me has fundamentally changed our family life.”
Abi, Mother of 2.
Many clients appreciate personalised teaching of the Hand in Hand Listening tools, and value on-going support after taking a Teaching series or Foundation Class,
Knowing that there is an allotted portion of their week/month to focus on their parenting, receive one-way Listening and gain insight is invaluable.
Free Talk – Aug 26
Transform Ghastly Goodbyes into Smooth See-You-Laters
Thursday 27th August 8pm UK / 12pm PT / 3pm ET
Free. 1 hour. Online. Real tools. No waffle.
A free 1-hour talk for parents who want happier drop-offs — for their child, and for themselves.
Has it occurred to you that your morning might be more peaceful? That the door might close more gently? That you might actually feel calm as you wave goodbye?
If drop-offs are currently a daily battle — if your child clings, cries, pleads, or falls apart — you already know how heartbreaking that is. You leave worrying. They spend the morning upset. And however much you’ve been told ‘they settle the moment you’re gone,’ it doesn’t quite shake the guilt.
Here’s the thing: separation anxiety is completely normal, and it doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong. But it also doesn’t have to stay so hard.
In this free 1-hour talk, we’ll explore:
- What’s really happening for your child at drop-off — and why brusque goodbyes often make things harder
- The Hand in Hand Parenting tools that help children offload the emotions that make separations so scary
- Simple games and connection rituals you can start using today — at home, long before the school gate
- How to prepare yourself emotionally, so you can be the calm presence your child needs
- Why laughter is one of the most powerful tools you have (yes, really!)
Who is this for?
This talk is for any parent, carer or childcare professional who wants to support a child through the big feelings that come with saying goodbye. Whether your little one is starting nursery, heading into a new school year, struggling at bedtime, or managing drop-offs between co-parents — there’s something here for you.

You’re not alone
Parenting can be very isolating.
Knowing that others have faced similar experiences can be hugely reassuring.
I found parenting hard and sometimes I wasn’t proud of my parenting but I found the Hand in Hand tools SO helpful I wanted to tell others about them, in the hopes it would help others.
Below are my favourite stories about how I used the Hand in Hand tools to help my family.
Past Talks
Sometimes it’s a specifc topic that we need more support around. I learn best through listening and discussing, so I’ve recorded some of my favourite topics around parenting, for you to watch in your own time.
Tantrums, picky eating, anxiety, siblings, sleep and more. I’d also love you to suggest a topic for me to discuss next.
Thanks for visiting, hope to see you soon,
Katy xx
