There is no shame in asking for help, despite the pictures of freshly baked cookies on Instagram there no such thing as a perfect parent. We all (yes even us so called experts) need guidance and support. So please ask for help, when things get overwhelming in the kids department whether it’s a friend, family member or a professional – know you’re not alone.

Parents come to me for a variety of reasons, for example it could be

⭐️ My child hasn’t got any friends – is that my fault?

⭐️ My teen is cutting themselves – i’m so scared for them

⭐️ The kids speak to me like crap – I don’t know how to stop it!

⭐️ Why is my child more sensitive than their friends? – can I make them more resilient?

Lots of people find it difficult to ask for help but dropping me an email or giving me a call is a great example of doing just that.
