a playful approach to parenting the behaviours that leave you bamboozled so that you can have more connection, confidence and fun.

Your child isn't a broken being that needs fixing and neither are you.
Hey Parents!
It's really bloody nice to meet you!
Let me guess..
You're here because you want to raise your children to be friendly with their feelings, to know that they can cope with life's ups and downs and to be considerate of others.
But no one really showed you how to do that when you were growing up.
You're trying to do things differently but are losing confidence one meltdown at a time.
Now you're worried that you've swung too far the other way.
You're sick of treading on egg shells and you're desperate for them to do darn thing without you having to yell.
I exist in this space because as a child and family therapist (and a mum of 3 fantastic kids) I understand the frustrations of modern day parenting intimately.Â
Youâve got enough on your load as it is, without having to trapse around the internet trying on different scripts, practicing different frameworks and remembering the 1-2 step. Parenting is so much more than a creative acronym of strategies.Â
I know that you already have what it takes, I know that you are the best fit for your child, I know that being human is messy and itâs more than ok to fumble forwards and stumble sideways. I wonât try to change either of you because you arenât broken. Sometimes you just need someone to blow the dust off so that you can shine how youâre designed to, before society put you in a box and told you how this whole thing âshouldâ look shudder.

Iâm Sarah,
 Growing you as a parent, building children and strengthening your connection to yourself, your community and wider circle is what Iâm all about.
 I believe that everybody has everything they need inside them, and positive change is accessible to us all
 As a Child and Family Play Therapist, with a background in Psychology I have over a decade of experience working with children and families.
I am passionate about supporting you on your parenting journey and ready to walk alongside you. As a mamma to three I get the excessive highs and lows of parenthood, cos Iâve been there too (and still there!).
 I'd be telling you porkie pies if I said I wasn't utterly obsessed with the impact of early childhood experiences on the development of the brain, they are pivotal! Iâd love to share this knowledge with you too.
These early experiences are the foundation on which our child's future is built, we all know without a solid foundation the walls fall down!
Throughout my work and life as a parent I recognised the deep need for trauma-informed, evidence-based and attachment focused parenting supports, and from that Secure Foundations was born.
