Parent Empowerment & Childhood Anxiety Coach.

You’re not failing as a Parent.

But you might be accidentally missing what’s really driving your child’s anxiety.

I help worried parents understand what’s happening behind their child’s anxious thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they can respond with calm confidence to reduce anxiety and help their child become calmer, happier and more resilient.

Whether your child struggles with school anxiety, separation anxiety, friendships, sleep, worries, panic or overwhelming emotions, I provide a warm, supportive and practical space where you can make sense of what’s been happening. Together, we’ll create an evidence-based toolkit that supports lasting change for the whole family.

You don’t have to keep second guessing, walking on eggshells or wondering if you’re getting it wrong. You can access knowledge and support that will empower you to know exactly what to do and say to help your child build healthy coping strategies today that will last them a lifetime.

“All my children love the Relaxing Cat technique - they've even taught it to Grandma!”
