Parent Coaching & Circle of Security™
Empowered Confident Connected
Sometimes the hardest part of parenting is facing everything it brings up in you. This work isn’t about fixing ourselves or our children.
It’s about understanding how to meet them, especially when things feel hard. And learning to meet yourself at the same time.
I offer Parent Coaching and Circle of Security Parenting for individuals, couples or groups. (see below)
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to connect with your child, or just unsure how to keep holding it all, I can walk with you through that.
Sessions are relaxed, grounded, non-judgmental, and we’ll go at your pace.
You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just carrying more than anyone sees.
If this feels like something you need, I’d love to help.
About Me
As a specialist nurse in child health, parent coach, and educator with over 30 years of experience, I understand the unique demands of parenting. As a mother of three boys, including premature twins, I’ve walked this road myself.
With advanced qualifications in nursing for infant/child/adolescent and parental health, coaching, and psychotherapeutic modalities like NLP, Hypnotherapy, Havening techniques, Circle of Security™ and the Incredible Years, I bring a compassionate, grounded approach to supporting parents/caregivers. My goal is to help you move beyond surface-level strategies to create meaningful, lasting connections for you and your children.

What Parents Are Saying
“Absolutely fantastic course that has changed the way I view all relationships in my life. I have already seen significant positive changes over the duration of the course and can see this extending further as I am constantly more aware”.
“I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend this course. It strengthens my knowledge of how to react/respond in all relationships. I feel I have been empowered - had my knowledge affirmed and had the opportunity to learn so much”.
“I feel more confident in and know I am a good enough mother”.
“Very helpful, informative, and encouraging. Eye-opening! I love that the concepts are quite simple, meaning they are easily accessible in day-to-day life”.
“I really appreciate being able to do this online as I would have delayed doing the course if that was not possible. I found the 3rd and the 4th sessions especially helpful and interesting, but the first two definitely set the base to be able to get a deeper understanding of the concept”.
“A wonderful course and facilitated extremely well by Nicky”.
