Journey Into Parenting - Parent Coaching & Advice Bristol
Parenting can be so hard. We all need a little extra help sometimes!
Divorce and separation can be tough. Find out how to support your children through it with compassion and care. I offer a safe and supportive space for you to process your feelings about the relationship breakdown so that you are ready to create a new life with your child/children.
It is natural to have worries and questions about introducing a new partner. I can help you to place your child’s wellbeing at the heart of this transition.
Parenting is hard and children don’t come with a manual. Parents often come to me because their child is struggling with meltdowns, having a hard time fitting in at school, hitting or struggling around anxiety or food.
Whatever you are going through I can teach you the skills to support your child more effectively.
The transition from childhood to adolescence can feel monumental! With all of the physiological changes, new drives and impulses and added life pressures it can be easy for parents to feel afraid of losing connection with their teen.
I offer tips and tools to stay engaged and in tune with their teenager while giving them the space they need to find themselves.
Some helpful hints and tips on a range of topics related to family life.
Advice to help you understand your child better, communicate so that they listen and find solutions to tricky situations.
Topics include sleep, emotional regulation, conflict and screen use.
Hi I’m Nina, and I am a certified parenting coach, author and researcher and a mum of a teen. Through my training and first hand experience I can help you with the things we all quietly struggle with.
I can support you with the practical problems of parenting, for example, making mornings/bedtimes easier, handling your teenager’s mood swings, what to do about temper tantrums, challenges at school, screen addiction or anything that might be causing struggle.
I offer a safe and non-judgemental space for you to receive support.
My background of working in a traveling circus taught me how to be brave, physically strong and adaptable. This experience gave me the resilience I needed to rise to the challenges of the path ahead.
Helping others parent joyfully is my mission!

What parents are saying
Working with Nina has been nothing short of mindblowing. I understand myself, manage tricky parenting moments so much better, and most importantly have an even better relationship with my kids. I feel very grateful to have worked with her and cannot recommend her highly enough.
I have been lucky to be a recipient of Nina’s family coaching and can say that my relationship with my kids (in particular my lovely but emotionally charged 17 year-old daughter) has improved massively.
I gained so much from the experience - most of all, love. Her support and space-holding gave me the sense of safety to begin to unpick my own triggers and traumas, helping me to show up in a way I had once known but had lost touch with, for my gorgeous children.

🌟 Every child must be free to express their thoughts and opinions.
🌟 Every child has the right to meet with other children and to join groups and organisations.
🌟 The best interests of the child must be a top priority in all decisions and actions that affect children.
🌟 Every child has the right to reliable information from a variety of sources.

The difference between consequences and punishments
Consequences help us to set healthy limits and support children to understand the effects of their actions.
Punishments can trigger a sense of shame in a child. Young children can’t distinguish behaviour being undesirable from ...themselves being undesirable.
Consequences should be in proportion to what is happening and directly linked.
An example that came up recently was two young boys who tended to get excitable when it was time to go to bed. We decided that an appropriate consequence of the boisterous bedtime behaviour would be, the longer it took them to get ready for bed, the less time there would be available to listen to a story.
After a few nights of the parents sticking to the boundary, the boys understood the consequence and settled down more quickly. The parents also allocated time for noisy play earlier in the evening so that they had the opportunity to blow off steam without it affecting bedtime.
