At Held, I believe that every family deserves to thrive.

I specialise in supporting parents who are feeling overwhelmed in their parenting journey. I provide the opportunity to unpack the behaviours you are seeing and to create functional and practical goals in order to foster a nurturing and empowering environment for both you and your child/children.

Each family has unique needs and there is no “one-size fits all” recipe. I look at all the members of the family and how the system is working or not working, and figure out what aspects are limiting the family from thriving.

We work together to come up with strategies to navigate the unique challenges facing you and your family, but I also aim to guide you on how to recognise and celebrate the incredible joys of your child’s “extra layers”.
