The strategies have to survive a Tuesday evening.
Your child spends a couple of hours a week with a practitioner and the rest of their life with you. Any plan that treats that as a rounding error will not hold. Coaching is part of every programme, not an upsell.
Where this sits in the five stages
What this actually is.
This is not a parenting course and it is not counselling. It is practical work on the specific routines where things break down in your home — the morning, the transition to homework, the supermarket, bedtime — with the same targets the plan is already working to.
It also covers the parts nobody usually explains: how to read a therapy report, what to ask for at a school meeting, and how to tell whether a recommendation you have been given is actually supported by anything.
- Practical work on your household's specific friction points
- The same targets the rest of the plan is working to
- Preparation before school meetings, and a debrief after
- Plain-English translation of reports from anyone, including us
- Sessions with both parents, or with grandparents and helpers where relevant
- Counselling or family therapy — we will refer you if that is what is needed
- A generic parenting curriculum
- Anything that positions you as the cause of your child's difficulty
- A separate line on the invoice
What it costs, and when it stops.
Included in the monthly programme fee. Coaching you is not an optional extra, because a plan that only works while we are in the room has not actually worked.
Included
Published here once the rate card is signed off. We would rather show you an empty box than a number we made up.
You can run the routine without checking, and would notice yourself if it stopped working.
Agreed in writing before the stage starts, not negotiated on the way out.
Straight answers.
Is this saying the problem is how we parent?
No, and if it ever starts to feel that way, say so and we will change the approach. Coaching exists because the people around a child are where the practice happens, not because anybody is doing it wrong.
Can our helper or grandparents be included?
Yes, and often they should be. Whoever spends the most time with your child is who most needs the strategies, and in many households that is not the parent who attends the meetings.
What if we need actual counselling?
We will say so and name independent providers. It is outside what we do, and pretending otherwise would be exactly the kind of scope creep our third rule exists to prevent.

Tell us what you've noticed.
Twenty minutes on the phone with someone who does this every day. No assessment, no cost, and no obligation to become a client at the end of it.
If we're not the right people, we'll tell you who is. That includes naming providers we don't own, and it costs you nothing either way.
