MY SPECIALTIES
Support for parents of sensitive children
Trauma-informed coaching for parents and carers in Burntisland, Fife & Scotland
I’m a trauma-informed coach, a parent myself, and the creator of the SHINE programme for children and families.
I work with parents and carers in Burntisland, Fife and across Scotland who are raising:
​
-
Sensitive children
-
Neurodivergent children
-
Children who feel deeply, struggle with regulation, or overwhelm easily
​
Parenting these children can be beautiful, exhausting and isolating.
When your child is sensitive, the system needs support - not just the child
Sensitive children often:
-
Feel things more intensely
-
Struggle more with transitions and stimulation
-
Need more regulation, not more discipline
​
But parents often end up:
-
Exhausted
-
Doubting themselves
-
Living in constant vigilance
A nervous-system-informed approach to family life
We work with:
-
Your nervous system
-
Your child’s nervous system
-
The relational space between you
​
This is not about perfect parenting. It’s about:
-
Regulation before behaviour
-
Connection before correction
-
Safety before strategies
How I support families
-
Parent coaching and support
-
The SHINE children’s wellbeing programmes
-
Guidance around boundaries, energy and emotional load
-
Helping you feel less alone and more resourced
My lived experience
-
I single parent as a highly sensitive person, in complex circumstances, far from family support.
-
I don’t offer idealised advice.
-
I offer real-world, compassionate, workable support.
