pEER Parent Coaching

Working with a PEER parenting coach can be the vital space for you to explore the challenges you face.

Sometimes family life doesn’t go how we planned and it is harder than we thought it would be. Sometimes you don’t feel listened to and you might feel overwhelmed by big life stuff, which also impacts how you can be in the moment.

By working with a parent coach you can explore what your specific needs are for you and your family, reflect on your options and take action.

What will coaching look like?

1-to-1 sessions with a peer parent coach can be booked over the phone or online. Each session lasts 60 minutes, and parents usually have between six and nine sessions in total. Our Coaches are parents like you who have had coach training, lived experience and are supported to offer you a safe, empathic space to work on the topics that matter most to you.

Each coaching relationship is unique, but here is an example of what you might expect:

  • Sessions 1 - 3: Knowing yourself, understanding your children’s needs and behaviours

  • Sessions 3 - 4: Parenting and communication styles

  • Sessions 4 - 6: Strategies and techniques

  • Sessions 6 - 9: Reflection, practice, reflect and review

Parent Testimonials

“I now just think, my only job is to help him through the moment and try to teach him how to deal with things/what is a good way to handle emotions/what is not so good nd that it’s ok to get it wrong sometimes…and I don’t worry about the effect on other people or what they may be thinking about us in that moment - big breakthrough I feel.”
“I’d always known that I was dealing with a lot and it had an impact on him but I didn’t quite see how bad it was and how well we did to cope… I can’t tell you enough how much your sessions have helped me in finding a way to live in the moment and try to be ok with being ok or to be ok with not being so ok.. to remove unrealistic expectations of myself.”
“I’ve learned so much about myself. I am enough and in fact I am amazing at some things. I am a great loving mum. I feel self -assured that I am doing well. I have learned that I can not control how others respond to me and I can’t fix every situation.”
