Therapeutic Parenting Coaching

Supporting parents and carers to respond with empathy, structure, and understanding — even when things feel hard.

What Is Therapeutic Parenting Coaching?

Therapeutic Parenting Coaching provides a reflective and supportive space for parents, carers, and special guardians to explore the challenges of parenting a child who has experienced trauma, loss, or early adversity.

Many families find that traditional parenting strategies don’t work when a child’s behaviour is driven by fear, shame, or unmet need. Therapeutic Parenting Coaching helps you understand these behaviours through a trauma and attachment lens — focusing on what your child’s actions are communicating, rather than simply how to manage them.

Together, we explore ways to bring calm, connection, and confidence back into family life.

Who It’s For

Therapeutic Parenting Coaching is suitable for:

Parents, carers, and special guardians supporting children with attachment or trauma histories.
Families living with adoption, fostering, or special guardianship arrangements.
Adults who want to parent therapeutically but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated.
Carers seeking strategies that support connection, regulation, and resilience.

What Happens in Sessions

Sessions are collaborative and practical, offering a balance of emotional reflection and therapeutic tools you can use at home.

Work may include:

Exploring your child’s behaviour through an attachment and trauma lens.
Building emotional regulation and co-regulation strategies.
Strengthening connection and communication.
Reflecting on your own triggers, responses, and self-care as a parent or carer.

Coaching sessions can be delivered individually or alongside therapeutic work with your child, ensuring consistency and shared understanding within the family.

Therapeutic Goals

Increase parental confidence and sense of calm.
Strengthen empathy and understanding of your child’s inner world.
Support consistency and connection within the home.
Promote healing relationships grounded in safety and trust.
