Connected Parenting UK
Raising children and teenagers can be a physical and emotional rollercoaster, especially if they are neurodivergent, sensitive, or challenging.
You have probably tried lots of different strategies, from consequences and punishments to low demand and bribes. You have probably read lots of books, spoken to lots of people and scrolled through Google to try and find an answer. By now you realise that none of these have worked and the problem seems to be getting worse.
The good news is that I can help you discover an approach to parenting which truly works and is evidence informed. Whether you’re facing daily power struggles, emotional outbursts, defiance, or communication challenges, I can help you uncover the root causes and build effective strategies that strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and promote lasting change. My goal is to empower you with tools and insights that bring more calm, confidence, and cooperation into your home.
This approach to parenting is known as “the Attachment-Based Developmental Approach” (See Dr Neufeld https://www.neufeldinstitute.org/about/our-approach). In the developmental approach, raising children is about providing the conditions which will bring them to be all that they can be, regardless of age or diagnosis.
I offer support and guidance through my ONLINE service, so I can work with you wherever you live, during the day or in the evenings. I also offer FACE TO FACE sessions in my clinic, based in South Devon and initial HOME VISITS within the local area.
I work with parents of children & teenagers who do not have a diagnosis & those who have a range of diagnoses such as:
Autism, ADHD, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder), Conduct Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia
I will work directly with you (and not your child or teenager). You are the expert on your child and it is you who can provide the conditions which will ensure your child or teens thrives.
If you are ready to find a new way to parent, one which works and feels intuitively right and you want to be supported on this journey, I’d love to help. Simply book a free online consultation with me to find out more
