Be the fun, patient parent you want to be
I help parents learn strategies like how to be kinder to themselves so that they can be the parent they want to be.
​
​Parenting is hard
Your child doesn't come with an instruction manual. If you do have a manual, it may not always work for your child. ​
The pressures of being a parent, work, life and other relationships can leave you feeling stressed and overstretched.
As a result, you can often feel like you are running yourself ragged.
​​​
It can feel hard to ask for help - especially if you worry about being judged or getting unhelpful advice.
​
Your feelings can get bottled up inside.
​
As a result, you struggle to have patience at home. Sometimes you may end up shouting at your child or partner which makes you feel guilty and sad.
​​
You might also feel:
-
on edge
-
filled with rage
-
tearful for no reason
-
or like you have no emotions
It is hard to move past these feelings
​You can feel stuck in the cycle of exhaustion and stress - that leaves you feeling tense, counting the minutes until bed time and freaking out about the never ending to do list.
​
I can help you
​
I will support you to break this cycle in a way that works for you. I will help you to make lasting changes that feel manageable but make a big difference to your life.
​
Even if it feels impossible.

How I Can Help
I use a trauma informed approach in my work. This means that I work with you in a safe, sensitive way that meets your needs. I offer confidential and non-judgmental spaces for you to explore how you’re feeling and what you need.
​
You are unique so all support is tailored to you. Even my pre-recorded courses help you to determine what feels right for you and your child.

Meet Amanda
You HAVE Got This is the phrase I say most frequently when working with people - especially parents. I believe that parents are capable. Even when parenting and having a busy life feels hard.
I am also a mum who has been building a business while working part time. I understand how parenting and the pressures of the never ending to-do list can feel like it's all too much.
I have supported myself using the skills and knowledge that I've gained while working with parents for over 15 years, as a mental health practitioner, studying psychology and as a transformational coach.
​
In my work, I share what I have learned and support you using an approach that is tailored to your unique situation.
I feel this work is important to help you and your family to enjoy life more which makes the world a better place.

"Amanda is a knowledgeable & compassionate professional who genuinely cares about your wellbeing. She immediately put me at ease which was crucial in helping me open up about my struggles as a new parent."
"I am so grateful for the rewind sessions with Amanda. Amanda is incredibly supportive and her kindness and mindful presence made it easy for me to dive deep and find out what emotions and thoughts around the birth of my son I needed to release and how to re-write them."
"Working with Amanda gave me the encouragement and support I needed to come to terms with my birth experience. This eventually gave me the confidence to have a debrief meeting with a consultant & midwife, which, for me, provided a forum to be listened to and get my questions answered. Amanda’s continued support was invaluable in this process."
