coaching programme
Our online coaching programme is designed to empower parents, helping them to navigate difficulties experienced when raising children and dealing with cancer. The sessions provide parents with a deeper understanding, new skills, and way to connect with others who ‘get it’.
“It turned my perception of me as a parent and as an individual with health concerns on its head. I am bolder and braver ”
“It made me feel less alone going through cancer as a parent, and taught me that I am doing a good job and to be kind to myself”
“The group was a beacon of light during a dark time of my life and I am so thankful to have been a part of it. ”
-
8 weeks x 90 minute sessions. We avoid school holidays, half term breaks etc for obvious reasons!
If you can’t commit to 8 weeks for some reason, we recommend waiting until you can.
-
UK residents only (at the moment).
Anyone who is a parent to children/young people under 18 years. It doesn’t matter if you are now cancer free as anxiety has a habit of lingering.

We are asking that only one parent can participate in one group (so either the Tues or Fri).
The workbook and exercises that accompany the coaching can definitely be done together.
