Parent Coaching & Circle of Security™
Sometimes the hardest part of parenting is facing everything it brings up in you.
This work isn’t about fixing you or your children. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath behaviour, and learning how to respond in a way that actually helps, for them, and for you.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to keep holding it all, you’re not alone in that.
You’re not doing it wrong. You’re probably carrying more than most people see.
WHO I AM
I’m a specialist nurse in child and family health, a parent coach, and a Circle of Security™ facilitator with amost 40 years of clinical experience.
I’m also a mother of three boys, including premature twins. I know this from the inside, the exhaustion, the uncertainty, the moments of wondering if you’re getting it right.
That lived experience shapes how I work just as much as my clinical training.
WHAT I OFFER
Parent Coaching 1:1
For parents who want grounded, relational support.
We work at your pace, on what matters most, whether that’s a specific challenge, a pattern you keep finding yourself in, or simply space to think clearly with someone alongside you.
Available online or in person in Nelson. Sessions 60–90 minutes. $185 NZD.
Circle of Security™ Parenting
A seven-week programme based on decades of attachment research.
It’s not a “course” in the usual sense. It’s a way of seeing your child, and yourself more clearly.
Most parents don’t just leave with tools. They leave with a different understanding of what has been happening all along.
Designed primarily for parents of children aged 0–6, available as a group or 1:1
What you’ll take from it:
A clearer understanding of your child’s emotional needs
Insight into how your own early experiences shape your parenting
Practical ways to respond that feel more grounded and usable in real life
