About Parent Coaching
Want to know what a Positive Parenting Coach is and how they can help your family?Â
Individual Parent coaching is for families who
​
-
lead busy lifestyles and can't commit to my 7 week group programme
-
are looking for individual, tailored responses to their parenting challenges
-
want to work with someone who will offer options and support them in choosing the solution that is right for their family.
Parent coaching is the next best thing to the village so many of us are missing. It’s a space where you can speak openly—without judgement—and start making sense of what’s happening in your home.
It’s like having a trusted guide by your side. Someone who’s walked this path, who knows how overwhelming it can feel, and who can offer both reassurance and practical support.
Because let’s be honest: there’s no manual for raising children—especially in a world that expects so much from us as parents. And if you’re far from home, navigating parenting in another culture, or raising a neurodivergent child… the challenges multiply.

That’s where I come in. I offer personalised, compassionate support shaped around you and your family. Parenting isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, and the support you receive shouldn’t be either.
About me!Â
I’m Laura—parenting coach, educator, and mum to three children. I’ve lived in Paris for over 25 years, raising my family here and supporting hundreds of others along the way.
My journey into this work started with my own questions. I was reading all the books, trying all the tips, and still ending the day feeling like I’d failed somehow. I loved my kids deeply, but I was exhausted, reactive, and constantly wondering whether I was doing it “right.”

-
​That’s when I began to dig deeper. I trained in Positive Discipline, qualified as a certified Co-Active life coach, and studied the neuroscience behind behaviour and emotional regulation. I now combine that training with years of hands-on experience working with families—especially those parenting children with ADHD or additional needs.
-
Over time, I’ve become a guide for parents who are ready to move out of survival mode. I work with people who want to feel more connected to their children, more confident in their choices, and less caught in the guilt/perfection loop that modern parenting so often creates.
Who I Work With
I support parents of children aged 3 to 18—many of whom are navigating emotional intensity, tricky behaviours, or a sense that their family life feels harder than it “should.” Some of the parents I work with are raising neurodivergent children (especially with ADHD or suspected ADHD). Others are simply stuck in a cycle of shouting and shame, or feeling totally unheard by their kids.
They’re thoughtful, committed, and often burnt out. They want to parent with love and patience—but they’re stretched thin, doubting themselves, and craving a calmer, more connected way forward.
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
My Approach
There’s no magic formula. I take time to get to know your family—your values, your challenges, your hopes—and together we figure out what’s getting in the way.
I offer tools grounded in brain science, child development, and lived experience—tools that help you understand your child and yourself. Whether we’re working one-to-one, in a group, or through my Parenting Club, the aim is always the same: to help you feel more confident, less reactive, and more able to enjoy parenting again.
What I Believe
-
You don’t need to be perfect. You need support.
-
Your child isn’t giving you a hard time—they’re having a hard time.
-
Connection is always more powerful than control.
-
Guilt and shame don’t help us grow—but self-awareness and encouragement do.
-
You’re allowed to ask for help. In fact, you deserve it.
If you’re ready to feel calmer, more confident, and better equipped to handle the messy moments—without losing yourself along the way—I’d love to talk.
