Welcome!
My name is Vera.
I am a mum, a Certified Parent Coach and Pastoral Care Practitioner based in England.
I help parents, carers, and professionals cultivate strong, empowering, respectful relationships with children. My approach promotes emotional well-being, confidence, and resilience in every child, including those who are highly sensitive, have experienced trauma, or face learning, developmental, or sensory challenges.
Through one-to-one coaching, small-group guidance, and tailored interventions, I equip adults with practical strategies and insight to support children’s growth, manage anxiety or challenging behaviours, and foster positive, lasting connections.
Model of care
Relate
Connect with your feelings and needs, and your child’s feelings and needs. Practice attuning and empathising with all emotions. Establish nourishing relationships to support you, while you support your child’s development. Invest energies and time in building a deep connection with your child and keeping the quality of your bond at the forefront, at all times.
Inspire
Dare to question old paradigms of control, power and expectations. Confront and dispel the energy of childhood wounds. Engage your curiosity and creativity in finding collaborative and proactive solutions to the challenges at hand. Reach out and resource yourself to thrive. Model the care, skills and behaviours you would like your child to learn.
Empower
Tap into your instinctual wisdom. Stand in your inner authority. Shift dysfunctional patterns and behaviours. Rest in your truth and advocate for your child’s needs. Lead your family and community with grace, confidence and enthusiasm. Equip your children with the mastery they need to rise and raise healthy relationships throughout their lives.
Private Consultations
One-to-one coaching
Meet with me for a private online consultation. Wish you were able to guide your children without relying on punishment, threats and shouting, but don’t know where to begin? Have those strategies already failed you, and you just don’t know what else could work? Need some perspective in tackling a stressful situation? Whether you wish to ask questions in a one-off session or a steadier support on specific challenges, together we will find strategies that work for your very own circumstances.

“It's not our job to toughen our children up
to face a cruel and heartless world.
It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.”
