Private Consultations

Book an appointment with our qualified experts and have your concerns and queries addressed in a one-on-one setting.

At your initial appointment we will assess the help you require as a parent, before recommending a plan which could include a course, further consults or a blend of both.

Private consultations are also available to previous course participants who require a refresher or want to brush up their skills.

Perhaps you know what you need and may choose to book into one of the courses listed below without an initial consult.

1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching Parent Courses

123 Magic is a simple yet effective behaviour management program for parents and carers of children between 2 and 12 years of age.

It gives parents a simple and structured approach to:

  • Controlling obnoxious behaviour (arguing, whining, fighting, tantrums)
  • Encouraging good behaviour (listening, going to bed, homework)
  • Strenghtening their relationship with their child (praise, active listening, and shared fun).

Emotion Coaching teaches children to identify their emotions and become better at managing them.  This enables them to take more repsonsibility for their own behaviour.  3 x 2.5hr sessions.
