Family Coaching

Reconnect, reset, and move forward - together

Family life during the teen and young adult years can feel stretched - full of shifting roles, strong emotions, and moments of silence or conflict that leave everyone feeling misunderstood. It’s a time when connection matters most, yet it often feels hardest to maintain.

Family coaching offers a safe, respectful space for parents, teens, and young adults to slow down, listen, and build new ways of communicating and relating to one another.

Whether you're navigating ongoing tension or simply want to feel more connected, coaching creates room for each voice to be heard and for the family to grow forward—together.

For Families Navigating the Teen and Young Adult Years Together

Family coaching creates a safe, respectful space for parents, teens, and young adults to strengthen communication, reduce tension, and rebuild trust. These years can bring growing independence, emotional intensity, and misunderstandings that leave everyone feeling disconnected. Coaching offers a chance to slow down, get curious (not critical), and find a new way forward - together.

Each family is unique, so sessions are tailored to your needs and may include a mix of joint and individual sessions. We focus on real-life tools and insights grounded in neuroscience, emotional regulation, and behaviour patterns - always with a compassionate, practical lens.

In family coaching, we may explore:

  • What’s really going on beneath the surface of recurring conflict or silence

  • How to communicate in ways that truly land (and feel safe to say)

  • How ADHD, stress, or neurodivergence may be impacting dynamics

  • Boundary-setting and building mutual respect

  • The evolving role of each family member - and how to support growth while staying connected

I’m a certified coach with specialist training in ADHD, emotional wellbeing, and trauma-informed practice - and I’m also a parent who’s navigated the teenage and young adult years firsthand. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to support your child while also managing your own emotions, responsibilities, and questions.

My coaching blends neuroscience, compassion, and practical tools to help you (and your family) move through these years with more calm, clarity, and connection. Whether you’re here for yourself, your teen, or your young adult, you’ll find support that honours your lived experience and meets you where you are.

You don’t have to have all the answers or wait for a major crisis to seek support. You just need to be open to understanding each other a little differently.

Family coaching can help you navigate this time with more clarity, compassion, and confidence - no matter what your starting point is.

If you're curious, I offer a free intro call to talk through what’s going on and explore whether family coaching could be helpful for you.

There’s no pressure - just a conversation to help you decide what’s right for where you are now.

What is coaching, and how is it different from therapy or counselling?

Coaching is a forward-focused, collaborative process that helps you gain clarity, build confidence, and take meaningful action toward the life and relationships you want. Unlike therapy or counselling, which often explore past experiences to support healing, coaching is about where you are now and where you want to go.

As a certified ICF coach and ADHD coach, I work with parents, teens, young adults, and families to navigate challenges, strengthen connections, and tap into practical strategies that support growth, communication, and wellbeing.

Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions but can complement other support really well.

How do I know if coaching is right for me (or my child)?

Coaching is for anyone navigating a challenge, feeling stuck, or wanting more clarity or connection in everyday life.

If you're a parent wanting to feel more confident, a teen or young adult seeking direction, or a family looking for better communication, coaching offers a safe space to explore what's going on and move forward with support.

What happens in a coaching session?

Each session is tailored to your goals. We’ll explore what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what simple, practical strategies could help.

You won't be told what to do, but you will be supported in finding what works best for you.

Can I book a discovery call to learn more?

Absolutely. I offer a free 15-minute intro call so we can talk about what you’re looking for and whether coaching is the right fit. There’s no pressure - just a chance to connect and explore your next steps.

Do you work with parents and teens separately or together?

Both. I am happy to work with you individually or together depending on your needs.

How much is a coaching session?

Coaching sessions are priced to reflect the time, care, and personalised support you receive - while remaining approachable for busy individuals and families.

Most ongoing sessions are $160 for 45 minutes, with first sessions at $200 for 60 minutes to give us more space to explore your goals.

Family sessions, which are longer and more in-depth, are usually $260 for 75–90 minutes.

I also offer multi-session packages at a reduced rate if you're looking for ongoing support. We can talk through the best option for your needs during your free intro call - there’s no pressure, just a chance to find the right fit for you or your family.

How long is a coaching session?

Most ongoing coaching sessions are 45 minutes, which allows time to explore challenges, build insight, and create practical next steps - without feeling overwhelming.

Many clients (especially parents, teens, young adults, and those with ADHD) find that this focused, manageable length works well with busy lives and attention spans.

First sessions are typically 60 minutes, giving us extra space to get to know each other, clarify your goals, and lay the foundations for our work together.

For family coaching or more in-depth sessions, we may schedule 75–90 minutes depending on your needs.

If you’re ever unsure what’s right for you, we’ll talk it through and find the right fit.

How often do we have coaching sessions?

To ensure you get the results you are looking for, I recommend weekly sessions for the first four sessions, moving to fortnightly or monthly after that depending on your needs. This will ensure you get the results you want faster. However, this is flexible depending on individual circumstances.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. All coaching sessions are currently offered online via Telehealth (Zoom), making it easy and flexible to access support no matter where you're located. I work with clients across Australia and beyond.

Is there additional support between sessions?

Yes—if something comes up between sessions, you’re welcome to reach out via text or email for brief check-ins or questions.

Should I book coaching for myself or for my child?

That’s a common question. Sometimes the best place to start is with the parent, other times with the teen or young adult. We can talk through this in our free intro call and find a path that feels right for your family.

Can you coach both me and my teen or young adult?

Yes. I often work with parents and their children in separate individual sessions. This creates space for each person’s experience while allowing for growth in the parent-child dynamic as a whole.

Alternatively we can explore the family coaching option together if that meets your needs better.

What’s the difference between teen and young adult coaching?

Teen coaching focuses more on emotional regulation, identity, peer relationships, and family dynamics. Young adult coaching generally supports those navigating independence, life choices, pressure to “figure it out,” and developing a stronger sense of direction.

What does a family coaching session look like?

Sessions are flexible depending on your family’s needs. We may begin with joint sessions to build understanding and set shared goals, followed by individual sessions with family members and regrouping as needed. It's a collaborative, supportive space - never a blame game.

Do all family members attend every session?

Not always. Sometimes we’ll meet together, and other times we may meet separately to explore individual needs. The structure is designed around what will serve your family best, with everyone’s voice respected.

What kinds of issues can family coaching help with?

Family coaching can support you with:

  • Communication breakdowns

  • Emotional tension or frequent conflict

  • Navigating life transitions (e.g., school changes, young adulthood, ADHD diagnosis)

  • Feeling disconnected or misunderstood

  • Parenting roles and boundaries

Will you take sides or act like a referee?

No. My role is to create a space where everyone can feel heard and respected. Family coaching is about exploring what's underneath the surface, helping you understand each other better, and finding ways to move forward together.

What is your cancellation policy?

I ask for 48 hours notice to change or cancel an appointment to give me time to find someone else to fill your place.

Is family coaching confidential?

Yes—confidentiality is an important part of family coaching. I create a safe space for each family member to be heard and respected.

When we have joint sessions, what’s shared stays within the family group. If I meet individually with a family member, those conversations are kept private unless they choose to share something with the group or give me permission to do so.

The only exception is if I have serious concerns about someone’s safety - then I would take steps to ensure appropriate support, and wherever possible, discuss this openly with the person involved.
