Practical guidance for parents navigating emotional, behavioural, and learning challenges.
Parenting is one of the most meaningful roles we take on — but it can also be one of the most demanding. If you're facing big behaviours like tantrums, meltdowns, or anxiety, or you simply feel overwhelmed by the day-to-day, I offer compassionate, practical support to help you feel more confident and connected as a parent.
As an Educational Psychologist based in Rotorua, I work with parents and caregivers to strengthen relationships, tailor strategies to support behaviour at home, and create calmer, more connected family life.
Helping You Navigate Challenging Behaviour with Confidence
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. I provide individualised support for your unique family dynamics, parenting style, and the specific challenges you're facing.
I help with:
Preventing and managing big behaviours like meltdowns and tantrums
Supporting anxious behaviours and emotional regulation
Tailoring parenting strategies to your child’s needs
Strengthening connection and communication at home
Creating calmer routines, clearer boundaries, and more positive interactions
How the Parenting Support Process Works
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a one-on-one session (without your child present) to understand your parenting context, challenges, and goals.
2. Tailored Coaching Plan
We’ll meet fortnightly for coaching sessions. These provide consistent, hands-on support to help you apply and adapt strategies at home — with real-time guidance and feedback.
3. Review and Adjust
We continue working together, reviewing what’s working and fine-tuning the approach to support lasting change and confidence in your parenting journey.
Struggling with big behaviours at home? You're not alone.
Let’s tailor a plan that brings more calm, connection, and confidence into your parenting.
