“Taking care of other people's children was easy.
Taking care of mine was hell”

This is what I tell people when they ask me: “Helen, why did you become a professional Parent Coach?” The truth is, even though I had years and years of experience of working with children and families, I found looking after my own two lovely boys, extremely difficult.

I have been an au-pair, nanny, maternity nurse, fully-qualified State Registered Nurse (RGN) and professional counsellor. I am also a qualified NLP practitioner and neuro-development therapist. I had enjoyed working with children for many years - as long as they were not mine.

Eventually, I decided to do something about it. One day, I swallowed my pride and asked for help - from professional people as well as mums who had got it right. It was the most rewarding day of my entire life.

I began to look at life from a child's point of view. I looked at where and when my boys behaved well. And I began to create my own solutions for my own family.

The results were sensational! And that's when I decided to form Proactive Parenting .
