About me
What do I do?
I offer coaching to support individuals and couples on their step parent and blended family journeys.
I am a qualified coach, emotional intelligence practitioner and experienced change professional of over 10 years alongside being a step parent. I have a variety of skills, accreditations and life experience, enabling me to offer a valuable and personable coaching service.
Why might you need step parent or blended family coaching?
- As separated parents you might be seeking to establish a contact schedule that works respectively for the both of you.
- As a step parent you might be finding it difficult to understand your role and how you fit in to the family unit.
- As a step parent you might be struggling with the resentment attached to new sacrifices and new responsibilities that you are not equipped for.
- As a step parent you might be battling with a range of feelings because your efforts are seemingly undervalued, unnoticed or unappreciated.
- As a step parent you might be experiencing stark realisations and a larger-than-anticipated expectations gap, which you need to work through.
- As a partner you might be feeling ill-equipped to support the step parent in their new role and in helping them to overcome any anxieties that they face.
- As a partner you might prioritise the feelings of the step parent or the children over your own, meaning that your own emotional needs fall by the wayside.
- As a couple you might be finding communication with each other challenging and are unable to resolve small or bigger conflicts in, for example, parental styles.
- As a blended family you might need a helping hand with relationship building, creating an inclusive environment and balancing or establishing a new family dynamic.
What you can expect from me:
- A safe and empathetic space to explore emotive and challenging topics, which are personal to you.
- Time spent understanding the problem as an alternative to admiring it.
- Support in embracing and pursuing change.
- Access to a rich toolkit of models, frameworks and approaches to support you and your partnership.
- A bespoke plan to realise your goals together with accountability for your actions in achieving those goals.
- Respectful and constructive challenge where appropriate in order to arrive at alternative perspectives and improve resilience.
- Genuine investment in you; my work ethos is to offer a valuable and value for money personal development journey.
