“It is a brilliant course and helping me a great deal. It has completely changed the way I address situations. It makes sense.”
"Thank you so much for this extremely valuable course - it has literally changed my life from misery to a happy place. I was living in such a toxic environment I didn't know what to do or how to behave anymore. My relationship with my teenage daughter is now on a respectful and positive level with ups and downs of course but at least I have the tools to see the storm coming and avoid it develop. And with me feeling better and more relaxed she is also behaving in a different manner and taking more charge of herself."
“I found the course challenging, but up-lifting. Claire is strong , authoritative, trustworthy, credible, highly organised and hardworking. The course has provided me as a parent with practical ways of dealing with a difficult child so that I am better equipped to address the key issue of who is in charge”
​
“The camaraderie, inclusion and non judgmental attitude of Claire from week 1 filtered through the group very quickly making it feel comfortable to talk about difficult topics freely”
"When I saw the title of this course it struck a real chord. I was struggling with my 15 year old daughter's eating disorder behaviours. I was scared of my daughters behaviour, scared of confronting her and setting boundaries & consequences. The course gave me confidence and belief in myself as a parent and I was able to confront her and her behaviours in a way that I had not done before. The course was a game changer as it opened my eyes to what I knew I needed to do".
