1:1 parent mentoring

Through my 1 :1 parent mentoring and group courses, I support and empower parents in finding their own solutions to life challenges.  During the 1: 1 mentoring and courses, parents have the time to reflect and discuss issues that are arising for them and leave with a greater understanding of their own and their child’s behaviours and the reasons behind them and how to respond in more open and supportive ways.
