Welcome to Parenting with Passion 

We help parents develop more harmonious and co-operative relationships with their children from infancy to adulthood. 

Our guidance, developed over three decades, relies on evidence-based psychological theory and research. Our core principle is that the least coercive approach is always best, because it promotes co-operation and independence, and is ultimately least demanding on you, as a parent. Our core activities are designed to help parents understand their children’s experience ‘from the inside’ and communicate more effectively with them.  

If you are a parent looking for advice or support, we'd love you to join us at one of our welcoming online group workshops which we run on a regular basis throughout the year. We also offer individual parent and family counselling sessions. Our website provides a range of resources and information to explore and we invite you to join our Facebook community for regular news and insights. If you need urgent help follow the link in the footer.

"Our children stand in our shadow" - food for thought!

We don’t just magically know how to say things in a way our children can hear, and respond to in the way we want. In the heat of the moment, we don’t have wizardly power to always respond in a way which is most beneficial to our children. It’s not difficult if we remember that we need to learn about our children as fast as our children are learning about the world.
