💚Lots of families have children with big feelings and behaviours . However, when we choose to take action today on them we are choosing a better future for the entire family.

💜When our kids present with anxiety, worry thoughts, negative self talk, disrupted relationships or anger , we can think that this is just how it is that there's no other way. But THERE IS another way , you don't have to put up with it.

💚My approach is a full family approach-I support the entire family so both the children and parents benefit.

💜Mary's family is thriving as a result of my support and their decision to take action NOW

💚You can get this support too ..... get your ticket to my half day parent event where I will share easy, practical parenting tools and strategies that I have used with hundreds of families in the last 30 years to help them transform their families.

✅️Your child feels misunderstood and unheard

The cycle continues....until you learn to respond in a different way.

💥At my September event I will show you the exact steps to move from chaos to calm. So you don't just survive the day. You actually enjoy your child again. Check bio for tickets

💚Does your child come home from school and completely fall apart? Meltdowns, tears, shouting and you’re left wondering, what happened?

💜This is something called after school restraint collapse. All day at school, your child is holding it together — following rules, listening, managing their feelings. By the time they walk through your door, they’re exhausted. You’re their safe place, so all those big feelings come rushing out at home.

💚It’s not that they’re being bold or disrespectful  it’s actually a sign that they feel safe enough with you to let it all out. But that doesn’t make it easy for parents. It can feel draining and overwhelming when every afternoon turns into a battle.

✔️ If every afternoon feels like walking on eggshells, you already know how much time and energy it drains from your whole family. The fights, the tears, the constant tension, it robs you of the chance to enjoy your evenings together.

✔️At my upcoming parent event, I’ll show you exactly how to respond differently so those after-school meltdowns no longer control your home. Imagine having calmer evenings, more connection with your child, and time back for the things you actually want to do as a family.

💥💥Grab your ticket today — this small step could completely change the rhythm of your home life. Tickets in BIO or DM💥💥

👉I'm hiding out in the loo again just for a few minutes peace.

📌Sound Familiar?? If this is you there's a reason.If your child is always demanding your attention, having big meltdowns, lots of tears or shouting or maybe refusing to be alone... Have you considered it's likely to be because they are anxious !!!

👉Trust me when I say I get it. I've spent nearly 30 years helping parents understand and support their worried child . I've helped them boost their child's self esteem and ability in themselves to believe that they can cope with big feelings.

📌Life DOES NOT have to be like this , finding hiding places so you can just breathe...

👉You can help your child to feel safe and secure without burnout. My proven programme gives you the knowledge and tools to do just that.

📌Youre not alone and you don't have to figure this out by yourself. Let me show you how.

✨ Imagine This… ✨

✅You’re standing in front of the mirror, slipping on that outfit that makes you feel amazing. Your hair is done, your makeup is on (or maybe just a little lip gloss and mascara—whatever makes you feel good). You’re actually excited for a night out—dinner, dancing, laughing with friends.

💜But the best part? You’re not checking your phone every five minutes. You’re not bracing for a text or call from home. You’re not feeling that pit of guilt in your stomach, worrying about your child sobbing, panicking, or struggling without you.

✅Instead… they’re okay. Because they have the skills to manage. They know what to do. And so do you.

🎉This isn’t a dream. This can be your reality.

💜I know what it’s like to feel trapped by your child’s anxiety—how hard it is to step away, even for a few hours, without feeling like everything will crumble. But after 30 years of working with parents just like you, I can tell you this: things can change.

✅My 4-week programme gives you the tools, strategies, and research-backed methods to help your child feel safer and more confident—even when you're not there. You’ll learn exactly what to say, what to do, and how to break the cycle of anxiety so both of you can thrive.

💜Imagine feeling free again. Imagine watching your child grow stronger and more independent. Imagine reclaiming a part of yourself that you’ve been missing.

✨ It starts here. It starts now. ✨

Drop a ❤️ in the comments if this speaks to you, or DM me for more details. Let’s make this happen together.
