You want to be the best parent you can be

But parenting has never been harder!

Yes, it’s always been tough, and it’s always been pretty overwhelming.

But today’s parental stress and the expectations we put on ourselves (and that we get from society) about how we live, how we parent, and what we hope and dream for our children is considerable.

As a result, when you’re:

Dealing with those big feelings your child experiences

Worn out by a child not listening

Feeling exasperated by your child’s challenging and rude behaviour

Battling bedtime delay tactics or food refusals

It’s no wonder that you can so easily feel overstimulated, struggle to keep your boundaries, and feel powerless (and maybe even disappointed) in your parenting approach or how you cope with challenging situations.

Overwhelmed by conflicting parenting advice?

You’re not alone

Parental “comparison-itis” (fuelled in part by your late-night scrolling) means that finding the right advice that works for you and your family is a challenge.

If you’ve heard yourself say:

“I feel like I’m failing.”

“I’m struggling – and don’t recognise myself.”

“It feels like I’m getting it wrong.”

“I don’t know how to cope when my child…”

And then the big one…

“I want more for me and my child?”

Let me tell you – it’s definitely not just you… and there is a way forward.

You can be the calm, confident parent you want to be

And you can do this without obsessing over being the “best parent”
(who feels like they’re failing miserably all the time)

You can shift your whole way of thinking about how you interact with your children

So that you:

understand why your child behaves the way they do (and you can react accordingly)

help your child and yourself self-regulate emotions

can parent from an approach that promotes positive outcomes for your child (neuro-affirmative practice)

And yes, you’ll still “mess up” and it’ll still feel hard from time to time.

But you can shout less, with the know-how and strategies to be a calm and confident (and still assertive) parent.

“One of the most transformative things I’ve ever done.”

“When I started the programme, I was in a dire state. I often fantasised about running away and there would be tears and shouting from both myself and my children numerous times a week.

Joining the programme gave me hope and focus. By week 3, things had improved and since then have got better and better. Completing the programme has been one of the most transformative things I’ve ever done.”

AS FEATURED IN

I support parents in the “thick of it” who are looking for support to bring a sense of calm into what is a really chaotic period of life.

And I’ve got the experience and credentials to do that including 20 years in childcare (15+ years as a sleep coach), and with certifications in Parenting Coaching and with a BA (Hons) and MSc in Psychology…

…but really it’s because, as a mummy of three, I understand how hard it is to stay calm and be the parent you want to be when you’re dealing with tricky behaviour, lots of emotions, and feeling stretched too thin in today’s hugely busy world.

My approach is parent-focused.

Parenting with Heidi coaching is not about giving set advice but about meeting you where you are at, with no judgement, and helping you move forward.

Testimonials from coaching clients
Hear from parents just like you

“This isn’t a quick fix — it’s a long-term journey”

“It’s been such a positive experience, and I feel very fortunate to be working with a coach who is so understanding, gentle, and non-judgemental. I know I still have a lot of work to do, and I’m realistic that this isn’t a quick fix—it’s a long-term journey. But I feel supported in that process and more aware of the areas where I want to keep growing and improving as a parent.”

Poppy, single mum of two

“I learned so much about myself”

“Heidi is warm and insightful and ever mindful of the big picture – everything I wanted in a coach. I learned so much about myself from my sessions with her.”
