I now bringing this much needed knowledge and support to others and I love it!
I offer personal consultations in two stages
#1 – Transform Your Family Dynamics with Compassionate Guidance
In our six-session series, you’ll embark on a journey that goes beyond quick fixes. Together, we’ll delve into the heart of your family’s challenges, exploring the underlying issues that may be affecting your child and showing up in hard to manage behaviours.
You will be supported every step of the way as you navigate the tricky and sticky moments in parenting, in a warm and safe space.
What to Expect:
- Comprehensive Learning: We’ll explore each of the five Hand in Hand tools, discovering the science behind them and how to apply them in your unique family situation.
- Personalized Support: Each 60-minute session is tailored to your needs, allowing time for discussion and questions, as well as One-Way Listening Time that helps you sort through conflicting thoughts and feelings and find the hope and motivation you need to make changes.
- Flexible Scheduling: Sessions can be arranged weekly, bi-weekly, or at your convenience – I know life gets extra busy as a parent.
I invite you to take the first step today:
Contact me for a free 30-minute introductory session to see how we can work together to foster a happier, more harmonious family environment.
“Katy’s support has been invaluable to navigate a very difficult time as a single parent of a very angry confused boy. Her unwavering trust in my parenting abilities and in my boy’s goodness, where others just saw failure and bad behaviour, helped us build our connection on much more solid foundations one tiny step at the time and overcome the worst moments I can remember. I cannot recommend Katy’s support enough; it has been a true game changer in my challenging parenting journey”

“It would not be an exaggeration to say that Katy’s work with me has fundamentally changed our family life. Since learning about the work of Patty Wiplfer and Daniel Siegel, I had been searching for an emotionally informed parent coach for two years. I had tried many options but none had been quite what I was looking for. And then I found Katy! We have now been working together for 6 months and the change in my children, and my relationship with them is profound.”
