A free coaching service for parents and carers

Create clarity and increase confidence to support your teen through a tough time.

Build on your family's strengths to support your teenager through a tough time

Practical, collaborative and supportive conversations

Together with your coach, you will develop a unique action plan that is designed around your teen's and family's strengths and give you direction and focus.

Contextual resources and tools

An online dashboard with a range of interactive tools and resources to support you during and after the sessions.

Scheduled to your convenience

Up to four collaborative sessions with your individual coach, spread over several weeks, allowing you time to try new strategies and techniques.

Ready for your first session?

To benefit most from our sessions, you are:

  • in regular, consistent contact with your teen.
  • looking for support to create your own goals and solutions.
  • able to access a quiet space to call and be online.
  • already professionally supported if your family is in crisis.

New sessions every Friday

Other resources and emergency


Every time we talk, I'm able to get my thoughts more organised and figure out what to do, and not to do.

I feel like you are the best person I could have spoken to. You have really worked well to meet my needs.
