Welcome
You don't have to feel trapped by your child's behaviour.
The problems you are having with your child can be relentless and do have a huge impact on all other areas of your life.You're not a bad parent.You're doing the best you can and you simply need support to get to where you want to be.
Using coaching, I support parents who feel overwhelmed, guilty, lost or scared and help them restore calm, confidence and connection in their family.
Zero judgement. Instead you can expect clarity, calm and practical support exactly when you need it the most.
Coaching
What I help parents solve:
Feeling trapped, overwhelmed and alone.Scared to leave the house after an argument.Worried about what others think or what might happen next.Believing their child is the problem and feeling stuck.Feeling like they are failing their child.Restbite from the relentlessness of parenting challenge after challenge with no reprieve.Feeling emotionally exhausted and held hostage by the situation.Wanting a calm family life but feeling it's impossible.Sharing difficult or challenging family news with extended family and the communities they are part of.

About
Hi, I'm Debra Broadhurst!I work with parents who feel overwhelmed, guilty, lost or scared because their child's behaviour feels incredibly challenging and they are ready for positive change.I know how hard it is to feel like you are failing or a 'bad parent', especially when you are scared, tired and unsure what to do next.My approach is simple: using a coaching approach, we make sure that you get to have everything you need. We also separate the child from the behaviour and shift the narrative from 'I'm not doing this right' to 'I can lead with confidence' and we build practical skills and strategies that restore calm and connection in the family.At the end of our time together, you will feel more empowered and your relationship with your child will improve.

* Why do I keep loosing my temper?
* Why does my child trigger me so much?This isn't about fixing your child. It's about supporting you - so you can parent with more calm, even on the hard days
This conversation offers deep insights into managing ADHD with positivity, creativity and self acceptance.If you are a parent with ADHD and/or you are supporting a child who is neurodiverse, this conversation will provide some refreshing insights that will support you immediately, not just in my conversation Emma Craven, also in the conversations she has had with others too.
For those who so often put others above themselves, I guide us through what we may consider being "selfish" and looking after ourselves as the first step to being able to take care of others.This episode is largely for anyone who is asking themselves "Am I a bad parent?" how her coaching permits others to find the answers they seek and gives permission to truly go after the thing they have been telling themselves "no" to.A very riveting listen for anyone having issues as a parent and wishes to learn more about what it is to move "lightly" about the world and in day-to-day life.
