Say goodbye to arguing, yelling and guilt. It is time to become the parents your children need to thrive.
Before your children were born, it is likely you had a really clear picture in your mind of the parent you wanted to become.
For many parents, this vision gets lost as our babies grow and develop into small humans with big behaviours, thoughts and feelings of their own.
I invite you to ask yourself this question;
“Am I the parent that I truly wanted to be?”
As a family counsellor I have worked with hundreds of parents who want to return to parenting from those original values, but struggle to do so because they are triggered and overwhelmed by their kids big emotions and behaviours.
What is your biggest challenge as a parent?
-
Our nervous systems are constantly activated by our kids big emotions, behaviours and experiences. Sure, this is an inevitable part of parenting BUT there is a way stop this cycle from having a negative impact on your relationship with your kids.
This program will support you to understand these triggers and shift your parenting from reacting to responding to your kids.
-
You argue a lot about the best way to parent your kids, or just avoid talking about it as you know that you disagree. It just feels impossible to find common ground.
The answer to why the ‘same page’ is so elusive, is grounded in your values as parents and how those values play out in day to day parenting decisions.
In this program we will uncover the what and why of your parenting values and support you to find comfortable common ground.
-
How we were parented is the template for our parenting, and forms the root of our ‘in the moment’ parenting decisions.
I can support you to become more aware of the impact of your parenting template and uncover the roots of your personal parenting story, allowing you to become the parent that you choose to be rather than turning into your mother.
-
It keeps happening. You have good intentions to make a change but your emotions are heightened. You feel overwhelmed and mad at yourself because you just can’t seem to keep your emotions in check when it matters.
You are not alone and you are not a bad parent. You are just doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
This program will allow you take a deeper look at why this is happening and the tools you need to put an end to this pattern.

Hi, I’m Emma Holdsworth
As well as being Mama to my 2 beautiful daughters, I am a Family, Parenthood and Perinatal Counsellor who has been working with parents, kids and families for over 20 years.
I am super passionate about supporting parents to connect with their long lost parenting values, explore the roots of their core beliefs and relationship patterns and become the parents and partners they truly want to be.
I am on a mission to support as many parents as I can, as early as possible in their parenting experience because I know that the best way to give our kids a loving and secure foundation, is to provide parents with the support and tools they need to feel lovable and secure themselves.
Over many years working with families, I have discovered that the most important thing to focus on when it comes to parenting, is exploring how you respond and react to the needs, behaviours and emotions of your children.
We now know that a child’s earliest experience of being in relationship with you, their parent, shapes their relationships throughout life.
(Berlin et al., 2008)
How they respond and react towards others in the world; is literally formed by how you react and respond to them throughout their childhood.
But how do we ensure we respond in the right way, even when the going gets tough?
As a family counsellor who has been working with families for over 20 years, I can tell you without hesitation;
the way in which your own parents responded to you as a child, is one of the strongest influences on how you respond and react to your own children as a parent.
This program will support you to understand and change this dynamic to help you create deep, strong roots for your family to grow from.
