Child Development and Parent Guidance
A personalised six-week journey that helps children develop essential life and learning skills, and gives parents practical, evidence-informed strategies to support their child's growth beyond each session.
- 6 weeks
- Parent and child
Together, we focus on understanding the whole child, not just the challenge.
Every child has unique strengths, learning styles and developmental needs. Sometimes children experience challenges with confidence, emotional regulation, behaviour, learning, communication, or adapting to everyday situations. Early guidance and consistent support can make a meaningful difference.
This programme offers educational consultation, child development guidance and parent coaching. It is designed to support children’s learning, behaviour, confidence and overall development.
Programme structure
Six phases over six weeks. Sessions are 60 minutes each.
Phase 1 60 minutes

Phase 2 Weeks 1 and 2 · two sessions
Child development sessions
An introductory session and a progress session focused on building rapport and a safe, supportive space. Activities are personalised to your child's age, interests, strengths and needs.

Questions about this programme
How long is the programme?
Six weeks. It starts with a 60-minute consultation with you, followed by four sessions with your child, a progress review with you, a joint parent and child session, and a final session with a personalised action plan. Sessions are 60 minutes each.
Is it suitable for my child's age?
Activities are personalised to each child's age, interests, strengths and needs. Mention your child's age in your enquiry so the first consultation can be planned around it.
How involved will I be as a parent?
Closely. You take part in the first consultation, a progress review, a joint session with your child and the final review, and you receive practical strategies to use at home between sessions.
What should I prepare for the first consultation?
It helps to think about your child's developmental and school history, what they are good at, what feels hard at the moment, and what you would like to change. Recent school reports or notes from school are useful if you have them.
Are sessions online or in person?
Get in touch with your location and availability, and we will agree the format that works best.
Is this therapy or a diagnosis?
No. The programme offers educational guidance and parent coaching. It does not provide medical diagnosis, psychological assessment or clinical therapy. Where it would help, families may be advised to speak to a registered healthcare or mental health professional.
What happens after the six weeks?
Many children reach their goals within the programme. Follow-up sessions are available on request, shaped around your child's needs, with no obligation to continue.
