YOUR FAMILY MATTERS
Parenting can be wonderful but there is not doubt it is not always easy. Particularly during adolescence with all the changes they are experiencing in their body, emotions and how they are discovering & relating to the world around them.
That is why we have created our Families Programme supporting families from cradle to grave through our work in communities and our private coaching, talking therapy and workshops. Our support will help you to:
- understand each other better
- improve your communication and connection
- enhance your wellbeing and resilience
- have the time and space just to talk in a safe environment
- work individually or collectively on your challenges and goals
FOR PARENTS AND CARERS
Our Coaching Approach for Parents & Carers course creates space for you to connect with other adults at a similar stage so you know you’re not alone. It’s also an opportunity to enhance your communication skills and flexibility to navigate challenges through learning how to use a coaching approach to help yourself and your family. Stress less, connect more.

FOR ALL YOUR FAMILY
Our Potential In Families family club is for all the family to come together, so that means grown ups and kids.
It is also an opportunity to come together with other families combining fun games, activities and conversation.
Enhancing well-being and connection is at the heart of what we do. You will also have the opportunity to meet other parents/carers and families in your community where you can share experiences and support each other in a safe and supportive environment.
1:1 SUPPORT FOR PARENTS/CARERS AND CHILDREN
Some people don’t like groups and prefer having the time and space to talk on a one-to-one basis.
If this is you, or your child then you may want to consider life coaching or talking therapy. Click on the link below for more information
JUST FOR YOU (or your child) PERSONALLY
Some people don’t like groups and prefer having the time and space with someone on a 1:1 basis. If this is you, or you child then you may want to consider life coaching.
SOCIAL IMPACT
The work we do with families in local communities and through private one-to-one helps parents/carers, children and families together to:
- become more resilient, self-sustaining and empowered
- enhance physical and mental health, valuing wellbeing
- maximise individual potential
- build communities that feel confident in developing and leading their own development
We provide families who are experiencing self-isolation or challenges managing their health and wellbeing a pathway to enhancing their wellbeing and integrating back into the community.
We will work with you around what matters most to you now. We will give you the oportunity to talk in a safe space. We will ask questions and listen to you. And when the time is right support you to move forward positively.
We do that through talking therapy and coaching.
We are trauma informed and responsive and use the 8 dimensions of wellness as a framework.
Our aim is to support families to build self-sustaining communities with local volunteers taking the lead. We want to support parents/carers into positive destinations whether that be through integrating into the community, training/qualifications, employment or self-employment.
The creation of community family learning and wellbeing hubs will form a focal point of support for all.
You may already be aware of the research around Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) and how unresolved traumas in our childhood impacts our health and wellbeing significantly throughout our lives.
But the great thing is, the impact of traumatic experiences is lessened when the young person has at least 1 person who they trust and is there to support them.
Our families programme enhances self and other awareness and ability to navigate the challenges life brings
Traumatic experiences are events that exceed the persons ability to cope in that moment.
As such these can be the created through the absence of our attachment needs being met well as the obviously upsetting events.
Dan Siegel (psychiatrist and paediatrician) summarises what is needed to create and maintain a secure attachment through the 4S:
Seen – we need to feel seen beyond our behaviour
Safe – we need to feel emotionally, physically and sexually safe
Soothed – when we are upset we need someone to help regulate us and help us feel ok
Secure – for us to create and maintain a secure attachment the previous 3 S’s need to be experienced consistently
