behaviour coaching
Working together to help you grow in confidence with your individual parenting style and have support in finding out what works for you and your child.
How can I understand my child?
- Children need consistent messages in order to know what is expected of them.
- Learn to stand back and observe and wait instead of jumping in to try and ‘help’ or ‘fix’
- Find out what your child’s individual learning style is.
- Look for patterns in their behaviour so that you can focus on the route cause and support them in managing their reactions.
- Model the language they need to use to help their communication with the people around them.

Hi! I’m Ali, and I have always had a passion for play and connection so working with children was a natural path for me. I worked as an early years teacher for almost 10 years and since having my own children, I have been working with parents to help them feel more confident in managing their children’s behaviour that works for their family. I am currently in training to become a therapist which happens to fit alongside working with parents and families very well.
All children’s behaviour is a communication, and together we can work through what your child is trying to say. We will find how best to support them through challenging behaviours that may arise during bedtime, mealtimes or when they are sharing you with other people. It can feel frustrating and stressful when your child starts to push against you and practice their independence skills.
how i can help
I can offer support to suit your families needs by creating an individual plan and regular text messages or video calls.
