Client stories

I’d like to introduce you to some of my clients and how they were able to transform their lives by working with me:

Caroline Gosling with her two sons

Caroline Gosling

Mother of W, 8 and T, 6.

"We more often feel like a whole unit rather than an ‘adults vs kids’ battleground!"

“Oona’s wisdom and care for her clients - and their children - is immensely powerful. Working with her has transformed my approach to being a mum, with a tangible effect on our family life - we get on better, things happen more easily and we more often feel like a whole unit rather than an ‘adults vs kids’ battleground!

Most of all Oona has helped me find greater confidence in my own wisdom as a mum. She’s done this with a ‘resolute gentleness’ that guides, advises, never judges - but also never lets you off the hook when trying to skirt an issue or skim over things.

As I have changed the way I interact with them I have watched my boys blossom.”

"Less Worry and Tension"  
“As a result of working with Oona, and learning to trust my son, I worry less, there’s a lot less tension between us and, vitally, my son is much chattier and happier all round!."

Peterborough, UK, mother of B, 5

“As a result, I feel quite different these days, much happier, and more importantly for me, my son is much happier and his behaviour is much better too!”
“When I found Oona, I was miserable, desperate - and anxious about my 5 year old’s future. I felt out of touch with him, like I was losing control.
With Oona’s non-judgemental guidance, I learnt how to set healthy boundaries while staying open and flexible and creating a loving, caring atmosphere at home. As a result, I feel quite different these days, much happier, and more importantly for me, my son is much happier and his behaviour is much better too!
For me, Oona’s brilliant personalised advice and friendly attitude have been priceless!”

Toronto, Canada, mother of D, 1 year

"My son is happier; I am happier; my husband is happier."
"We are now on a different trajectory. I have so much more energy. My son is happier; I am happier; my husband is happier. You can’t put a price on the joy you can get from working with you. The money is nothing compared to the benefit.
I would pay it many times over to be where I am today. I am... very, very grateful to you. And I hope that any parents who are struggling or stressed out find their way to you."

Debbie Richards

Debbie Richards

Mum of G, 5, and C, 2

"There is more harmony here now, more laughter and spontaneity."
"I was feeling frustrated being a parent and not handling my youngest's (nearly 3) behaviour very well. Reaching out to Oona, I thought it was going to be about ‘strategies’.

Oona has them all covered - but it was way more than that. With Oona’s magical guidance we started to unravel the layers of overthinking, feeling inadequate, annoyed etc etc

Resulting in a much much greater connection with my children. I now see my two wonderful children as little human beings just like me.
There is more harmony here now, more laughter and spontaneity. Wonderful things are happening. We're a little team now. One of the best investments I have made for me and my family. Thank you Oona xx"

Christiane Ganteaume

Christiane Ganteaume

Kingston, London, mother of 6 and 3 year old twins.

"I’m happy to say their behaviour is much improved now - and I also feel lighter and better in myself."
"When I started working with Oona, I was feeling so depleted - managing all my children’s relationships had become very difficult.

I’m so happy I found her: I always felt so positive after our conversations and the many practical ideas are wonderfully effective in helping me dealing with the children.

I’m happy to say their behaviour is much improved now - and I also feel lighter and better in myself."

Jack Bremmer

Jack Bremer

London, father of A, 6, and M, 4

"The stress levels have dropped and our connection grows every day!"

"Once frustrated by frantic mornings trying to get everything done, now I have a deeper understanding of our children, as well as tools to offer the whole family a great start to the day. The stress levels have dropped and our connection grows every day!"

Harriet Hancock-sq

Harriet Hancock

Stroud, mother of Will, 6 years and Rosie, 4

"Without Oona, I could have spent 20 years getting to this place of connection with them."
"Before I met Oona, I was in big knots about my children’s behaviour. Now I am so much more relaxed. Without Oona, I could have spent 20 years getting to this place of connection with them.
It’s been amazing. Life with the children is unrecognisable to how it was when Oona appeared."

Jennifer Moore

Jennifer Moore

Bristol, mother of H, 3 and W, 18 months

"Now I really enjoy his company and it’s brought us so much closer together."

"Before I met Oona, I was really struggling with my child’s challenging behaviour. I’d read many books and tried many techniques, but none of it worked with my 3 year old.

Oona's approach to parenting really worked for me in a peaceful way - that I agree with as well. Now I really enjoy his company and it’s brought us so much closer together."

Josie Yeung

Josie Yeung

Mum of A, 3, and baby M

"It's so different now..."
"When I first met Oona, I was going through a period of stress, worry and guilt about my son's challenging behaviour towards his younger sister and constantly reading through different articles and blog posts for something to help me.  I was following the principles of respectful parenting but something wasn't working.  I had very little time and was exhausted.

It's so different now; the relationship between my children has improved hugely and we are much more connected and playful. I'm so glad that we have reached this point and I feel much happier and reassured with my parenting."
