Oona’s one-to-one Coaching and Mentoring Services
It’s a pleasure to welcome you here.
The right step for you?
I offer a highly tailored service to dedicated parents who want to take back control of their family. I teach you how to speak with your children so they want to listen and do what you say. This means you can stop being shouty parent and start being the parent you want to be, enjoying family life and doing all the things you want to do as a family.
This page will help you decide if working with me could be the right step for you and your family.
So tell me, is this what’s coming up:
You’re finding the only way to get your children to listen is to raise your voice and get angry - but you hate being scary parent?
Parenting feels like a chore and you’re permanently exhausted?
You’re walking on eggshells round your children, feeling like you’ve lost control of your family?
You take parenting very seriously, have a track record of doing things to a high standard and don’t understand where you’ve gone wrong?
You feel disconnected from your child and worried that you’re failing as a parent?
I want you to know that none of this is your fault. You’re a good parent.
You want your children to feel loved and happy, that’s why you’re here. It’s just that there’s a skills gap around how to connect with your child and guide them effectively.
I founded Wise Parenting to help parents like you fill that gap and create lasting change, so you can relax and enjoy your family.
Here’s what you can expect, when you decide to put this approach into practice:
1. You see your children becoming more open, more reasonable, more cooperative - and you enjoy the spontaneous hugs and ‘I love you’s.
2. You feel yourself becoming the calm, confident leader your family needs, in control without being controlling.
3. You and your children are resolving conflicts by having open, emotionally intelligent conversations.
4. Sibling squabbles have reduced - there is more harmony and kindness in your home.
5. You feel a deep connection with your children and you’re looking towards the teenage years with confidence.
It may be hard to imagine all this right now. And, yes, changing your habits can take a little time and effort.
But once you’re connected, even getting your child off to school can be fun.
You can do this!
‘When our daughter was experiencing big emotions and lots of anxiety, Oona was a godsend. She was able to help us first completely shift our parenting paradigm, and then offered us very specific and easy to implement step-by-step strategies and conversation templates.
We saw results around some behaviours immediately. And Oona’s wisdom on how to help her with the more sticky behaviours has helped us to use these as opportunities to deepen our bond with our daughter, rather than as “problems to be fixed”. Oona is clear, easy to follow and clearly gifted to do this work. I can’t recommend her highly enough.’
So how does it work?
When we work together one-to-one, you get:
1 hour mentoring calls every two weeks, recorded for future reference, in which you get the practical guidance you need to bring out the best in each of your children.
6 x half-hour trainings, available on my web-portal, to help you deepen your understanding of your child’s needs and how to meet them.
Email contact between sessions, so I am available to help you solve any issues for the duration of our work.
Plus:
Resources, articles and reading materials as needed.
My mentoring is for parents who want more than information.
They want deep lasting change and a happy family for years to come. So it normally involves a commitment of either 3 or 6 months.
If you think you could be ready for this, then I invite you to book a complimentary Wise Parent Session with me.
You’ll come way from this session with a much deeper understanding of the reasons for your child’s behaviour and a simple plan to create a happier, smoother home life.
If we get on well and you would like further support, great. I will tell you how my one-to-one mentoring works and we will get started helping you get your family back on track. Click on the button below to book your free call.
Here’s what one couple said about their Wise Parent Session:
‘Before our conversation with Oona we were both feeling frustrated with parenting and misaligned with each other.
In the session we both quickly saw the logic and value of what Oona was saying and afterwards we started to use the principles she’d presented.
They worked straightaway with our daughter.
Oona came highly recommended, so we knew that speaking with her was a good idea, but we didn’t expect to get results that quickly. We’ve been blown away.’

FAQs
Your questions answered
Is it worth working on my parenting if my partner isn’t interested in making changes and has a more traditional approach to parenting than I do?
I have consistently found that it only takes one parent to get the whole family feeling lighter and happier. If your partner or co-parent is supportive or wants to get involved, that’s great. But it’s not necessary.
I have a lot on my plate right now. Should I wait to speak with you until I have more space in my life?
You’ll also find that this programme helps you create a more spacious day-to-day life.
I am concerned I won't be able to afford this.
If you feel that the help that I offer would benefit you and your family, I encourage you to book a call. I will be happy to support you and talk it through.
How do I know this is going to work for me?
I can’t wave a magic wand for you – you need to do the work. But if you implement the steps, you will see your children become more reasonable, kinder and calmer.
If you’ve done other courses and read all the books, but not got the results, you may be surprised at just how effective our work will be.
