I help parents make sense of their children
Are you struggling to make sense of your child’s behaviour?
Are you stressed, burn’t out or not enjoying parenting?
Are you finding it hard to connect and support your children as they grow up?
Parenting can be a lonely world in todays society. We have never been surrounded by more parenting self help books. We have never been exposed to so many strategies and guidance as to how we should be raising our children. My aim when working with parents is to help make sense of what is happening and guide parents back to their intuition with the knowledge that they are the answer to all their childs needs.

Parent Feedback:
“I started sessions with Joe as I was feeling out of my depth as a parent. I wanted to resolve some issues with our family dynamic in a positive way so as to foster a loving relationship with my children through their teens. I strongly felt that it would be more effective for me to seek support in guiding our family relationships than to seek support for my children individually. Joe approached every session with warmth and sensitivity, but most of all held space for me as my own person, not just as a mum. Joe really helped me reconnect with my children in the way I had been hoping and whilst family life will no doubt not always be smooth sailing, I do feel more confident in my ability to navigate it. Thank you, Joe”
“In my sessions with Joe, I powerfully and painfully linked to some very deep emotions laid down in my as a small child and reinforced all my life. he kindly and firmly led me through these dark places in my soul and out into the light.
Although I only had a very few sessions with Joe, I reinforced the powerful changes that occurred, with yoga and walks in nature.
All in all I have never revisited those painful emotions and have completely new responses to events.
My children have noticed this and are finding they can rely on me better, as their own learned responses come to the surface I am able to congratulate them on their new awareness and thus been able to help them feel safe.
I am truly grateful for the session I had with Joe and the whole family is definitely benefitting. never have I felt results so quickly from a therapeutic session. Thank you Joe ”
“Working with Joe has been one of the critical elements in transforming my relationship with my 5 year old son. Joe has helped me
better understand my child’s behavior. I am now better able to spend time with my son, to be present with him through play as well as help him work though his big emotions. Joe has a beautiful, warm and non-judgmental energy and I would highly recommend Joe’s work to anyone seeking to connect and better understand their child”
“Having a 4 year old in a motorhome for 5 weeks really tests your patience and family dynamics. When the pressure got too much as session with Joe really helped my partner and I see that our challenges were normal, he explained what we should be experiencing at this age of development and gave us strategies to stay connected as a family. Thank you so much Joe, we really appreciated your advice and know these challenges will keep coming however we feel better equipped to get through them and not disconnect 🙏🙏🙏”
“I had some parent counselling sessions with Joe when my son was waiting too be assessed for autism, and was displaying a lot of challenging behaviour – finger biting and phobias. Joe was able to help me understand what was behind this behaviour, helping me to see that it was not my fault, and that the best thing to do was just let my son express himself in this way. After a few months my son gradually started to let go of these behaviours. When he’s anxious now they start to come back, but I can see them as signs of his anxiety rather than as huge problems in themselves. I’m extremely grateful to Joe for helping me through this difficult time.”
