Connected Parenting UK

Connected Parenting UK offer support for anyone facing challenges with their children or teenagers and who would like support focusing on developing positive communications and attachments. Connected Parenting is appropriate for children of all ages including teenagers, whether or not they have additional needs or a formal diagnosis of autism or ADHD.

I am a behaviour specialist with years of hands-on experience supporting parents and families. I have been working as a Speech and Language Therapist for over 30 years; for the NHS, Surestart, in schools and then privately with my own practice.

I have undertaken training in attachment theory at the Neufeld Institute and I am an Advanced Practitioner in Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS).

I have published articles in peer reviewed journals and won awards for my work supporting families, including The Welsh Woman of the Year Award.

My work focusses on teaching you the principles of my approach; how to recognise and acknowledge your child’s feelings and how to meet their needs. This completely calms your child’s behaviour and allows them to relax, develop and thrive. It’s not about allowing your child to do whatever they want; it’s about re-establishing your natural authority in a strong, thoughtful and caring way.

But it’s not enough just to know what to do. The most challenging part is to change your own patterns of behaving and to become confident in responding in new and positive ways.

The core of my work consists of building a close and supportive relationship with the adults supporting the child, be it parents, carers or educators. In this way, their experiences are seen, heard, and validated, which allows them to make the necessary changes to best support their child.
