Co-parenting support and coaching FAQs

Coaching is all about forward movement, resonance and being active in your choices. Coaching removes self-limiting beliefs, it enables you to be courageous, to try out new things. It enables you to step into the place you’ve always wanted to but never believed you could. But coaching is so much more than that. It identifies the places you are stuck, it holds a mirror up to who you are so you can see your greatness, it works to increase your confidence. And the tangible outcomes of all of that are success in life and work, bigger careers, happier lifestyles, inner peace and balance, powerful drive and ambition. 

A coach is a qualified professional that works with individuals, executives, leaders and would-be leaders to help them gain self-awareness, clarify goals, achieve their development objectives, unlock their potential, and act as a sounding board.

Co-Parent coaching takes all the tools we use in individual or executive coaching and repurposes them to enable better and more effective communication between parents. Co-parent coaching isn’t counselling or relationship therapy, or divorce coaching. It doesn’t focus on the story of the break-up; it doesn’t focus on the story of the couple. It looks straight to the child and offers practical and achievable ways to enable parents to interact with each other to keep children in a safe parental bubble. 

Parents leave co-parent coaching being able to communicate more easily with each other. They know how and where to compromise, they can see things from their ex’s perspective, they can understand how their child might be feeling and make mutual decisions from there. This means they can go on to do practical things like sharing out school holidays, meeting a new partner, or feeling able to go to parents evening together. 

We don’t work with both parents in the same room. We work with you individually to get you to a place where you understand what it is you want for your child, how you want to interact with your other parent and what your own boundaries are.  We give you the tools to put those boundaries in place and we help you deal with confrontation in an effective and non-combative way. As parents you learn to negotiate, compromise where appropriate, and work better together. You will also learn to communicate effectively (and without excess emotion ) about how you want to raise your children. 

The one to one course of six sessions costs £1800 per parent. If you want specific coaching around a co-parenting situation, the charge is £300 per hour. 

The first session lasts 90 minutes and the following individual sessions last 60 minutes.

Therapy is a really important resource, as is coaching. But they are different. Therapy is a long-term process where clients work to diagnose and resolve behaviours or issues and feelings that are difficult for them to overcome. In this sense therapy focusses on the past and on introspection. 

Coaching is all about forward movement, momentum and change. Coaches are not healthcare professionals. In coaching we clarify goals and identify obstacles and problematic behaviours that are holding clients back. We pinpoint where clients are stuck in order to move them towards where they want to be. Once goals are clear a coach takes the client from where they are now towards their desired goals by encouraging positive action and accountability. It’s a very forward looking process. 

Not at all. We are based in London UK, and we see clients from all over the world either face to face in our North London office or on Zoom
