Parent Workshops *
Down-to-earth support that strengthens home-school relationships.

These workshops aren’t lectures—they’re conversations. Josie’s style is warm, honest, and empowering. Parents leave feeling seen, supported, and ready to try something new.
Popular topics include:
Building resilience in children
Managing anxiety and emotional regulation
Navigating screen time and technology
Why delaying smartphones matters
Calm discipline and behaviour boundaries at home
All workshops are:
One hour with Q&A (longer formats available)
Customised for your school’s community
Recorded options available for flexible access
“Parents are still talking about Josie’s session weeks later. It was real, practical and judgement-free.”
— Deputy Head, Kent
Collaborative Parent Coaching
*
Collaborative Parent Coaching *
A unique approach to family support — for when a child needs more.
Some families need more than a one-off workshop. Josie’s collaborative coaching model offers consistent, compassionate, expert support for parents whose children are facing persistent emotional or behavioural challenges.
Working in close partnership with the school, Josie provides 1:1 coaching for families — with regular communication, optional child observation, and strategic input to help unlock change at home and in school.
This service is ideal for:
Children at risk of exclusion
School-based anxiety or persistent absence
Behaviour challenges not responding to standard interventions
Emotionally overwhelmed or dysregulated pupils
This is not a referral. This is a partnership.
School + parent + expert coach = lasting change.
And it works. Children once facing exclusion are now regulated, engaged, and thriving. Students paralysed by anxiety are confidently walking through the school gates. Quiet disruptors—those whose low-level behaviours speak of deeper needs—are now settled, understood, and no longer on behaviour logs. These are not isolated cases. They are examples of what becomes possible when a school dares to do something different—something deeply human.
This work sets schools apart. It reflects a commitment not only to academic outcomes but to the whole child, and to the families raising them. It says to your community: we see you, we care, and we’re doing things differently here.
“Josie helped us support a family who were on the edge of breaking down. Their child is now calm, attending, and back on track — and so is the parent.”
— SENCO, Primary Academy Trust
