my approach
The Positive Parenting with Josie approach was born 10 years ago and has grown. When studying Montessori Education over 16 years ago I came across the approach of Positive Parenting, Positive Discipline and Dr Jane Nelson. I knew parenting positively was what I wanted to use with my own children an approach that worked and felt loving. I then became a facilitator, neuro linguistic practitioner and coach creating workshops and working with families and schools with my approach. I have been doing this for over ten years and absolutely love what I do. Having worked with children personally for ten years I understand how they work when talking to parents. I am hugely passionate, supportive, empathetic yet firm in my approach in supporting families and most importantly help you to understand your children. They are magic, our babies they deserve to feel capable, loved and understood.
I have no doubt that we all want to raise happy, healthy, interesting and self-sufficient children. But sometimes the reality of how hard as a parent it is to keep calm, implement boundaries and remain patient with our kids can be overwhelming!
You know we only get one shot at this parenting job, it is true, they do grow up so fast, but in the moment it can feel like the days are very long! It’s my job to help parents be as awesome as they can be, and teach the skills and tools that I know really work to create a happy and harmonious home. I absolutely love my work, and feel very privileged to play a small part in helping you to bring up your little people.
a word from
Josie
“Our family unit has definitely grown stronger by parenting in a more understanding and connected way. We have become calmer, with greater perspective which enables us to utilise the methods. I have definitely seen progress, which I didn’t believe was possible! The deeper understanding I now have of my children is an epiphany!”
— Sandra Phillips, mum of three

Josie
So a little about me.
I am passionate about empowering parents to be the best parent they can be, but this isn’t airy fairy stuff! I work with my clients to give them the practical tools they need to face the everyday challenges of parenting.
The tools and approach can be implemented straight away and I provide clear steps to get the best from the parent/child relationship.
I use positive discipline with my own children, I have three; a boy and two girls, so understand the complex pressures of parenting. I have a deep connection with my kids, feel fantastic about our relationship and that I understand them very well, but I am not a perfect parent and my children are not perfectly behaved children.
Positive Parenting with Josie is not about being perfect. It’s about doing the best you can, and being the best version of yourself.
As well as running popular parenting workshops, coaching parents on a 1-2-1 basis, and working with schools, I am also a Montessori teacher, with over ten years of experience.
I have helped hundreds of families to implement a practical positive parenting approach, to cut out the trial and error phases and connect more deeply with their children.
After our work together, you will feel confident and in control, with clear steps of what to do in the most challenging of situations. I passionately believe in what I do, because of the positive difference these tried and tested methods make.
“Josie's sessions transform, whether you're looking to deal with a specific issue, or like us, just do things right from the beginning. Reading a book will give you the knowledge, but it's only until you do her sessions that you really appreciate the interpretation and situational insight that Josie brings.”
