18-week online course (meeting every other week)
£150 Suggested Donation (Donation Welcome, Not Essential
Have you tried Listening Partnerships — and felt there might be more there for you?
Maybe you’ve had occasional Listening Time and would like the support of doing it more regularly.
Maybe you’re curious about how to make your Listening Time more effective.
Maybe you’d like to feel more confident as a listener.
Or perhaps you’re sensing that there are nuances you’d love to understand more deeply.
This 18-week course is a gentle, supportive dive into Listening Partnerships. It’s designed for those who have completed a Foundation Course, and it welcomes all levels of experience with Listening Partnerships — whether they’ve been part of your life recently or not at all.
You don’t need to be “good at it.” You just need to be willing to show up.
How the course works
The course runs over 18 weeks, split into nine two-week periods.
Over each two-week period, you’ll receive:
- Around one hour of video content, broken into short, manageable chunks (5–15 minutes), watched in your own time
- A live one-hour Zoom session every other week, where we connect, practise Listening Time, and reflect together
The pace is intentional — spacious enough to fit into real life, and steady enough to allow Listening Partnerships to settle and grow.
What you’ll receive
- The Hand in Hand Listening Partnership self-guided course (yours to keep — worth $89)
- Clear guidance on which videos to watch each fortnight
- An electronic copy of the Hand in Hand Listening Partnerships booklet
- Space to ask questions and share thoughts and reflections
- Bi-weekly listening, as a whole group, in small groups, or in pairs
- A supportive community you can reach out to during the 18 weeks — and afterwards, if you wish
Why Listening Partnerships matter
Listening Partnerships are a cornerstone of the Hand in Hand tools. They support us to:
- get clearer about what we want for our families
- parent with more creativity and lightness
- create real and lasting change at home
- heal from our own past experiences
- prevent old messages replaying themselves with our children
- counter the isolation so many parents feel
- support ourselves in all areas of our lives
- sit with uncomfortable feelings and notice them shift and pass, while someone listens
- listen to our children — and others — with more compassion and understanding
…and so many other things.
The benefits have been profound for me, and they continue to unfold. This work keeps meeting me exactly where I am.
A bit about me
I’m Katy — mum to two boys and a certified Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor.
I came to these tools because I needed help myself. When I felt how deeply they changed not only my children’s behaviour, but me, I knew this was work I wanted to share.
I don’t take myself too seriously — but I take parents and parenting very seriously.
I love creating spaces that feel calm, human, and supportive. Places where parents can think, feel, laugh, and learn without pressure or judgement — and where doing your best is always enough.
What participants say
“I highly recommend the Listening Partnership class — it has opened a new world for me.
The course was amazingly led by Katy, with clear information, videos and articles, and time to reflect together. Katy is brilliant and passionate about what she does, and her realness and authenticity are inspiring.
In everyday life we don’t often have time to listen or be heard without interruption, and being able to do that has deepened my understanding and compassion for myself and others.
Thank you so much, Katy.”
