I’m a child psychologist and a busy mum of 4. I started Mindful Little Minds Psychology to give you the resources and support you need to manage your own emotions so you can teach your kids how to manage theirs. Because I believe that learning emotional regulation is the most important job we have as parents. It’s the only way to break harmful generational cycles and give our kids the kind of childhood we always wanted ourselves.
My 15 years of experience as a child and family therapist lead me to develop The Mindful Parenting Framework. This unique methodology draws upon theories of child development, attachment, neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology. It empowers parents to take a relational approach to parenting that supports their child’s development, builds self regulation skills, and fosters connected, secure relationships that last a lifetime.
At its core, Mindful Little Minds Psychology is about relationships. The way they shape our brains, the way they shape us and the way they impact the world. When we focus on creating emotional safety in our relationships with our children, we CAN raise a generation of secure, emotionally healthy kids. Kids who make the world a better place for generations to come.

Do you want to break generational cycles and build the relationship with your children you never had with your own parents?
But sometimes, it feels like you and your child are speaking different languages right?
So… what if you could put an end to the frustration, the confusion, and the worry that you’re not doing enough to build a strong bond with your child, and could instead, feel confident in your ability meet your child where they’re at, and connect with them in a way that helps them feel truly seen and understood?
What if you could build a relationship based on trust, respect and acceptance – a relationship where your child knows they can always come to you for support – no matter how old they are?
It is possible for you! And it’s exactly what we’ll be doing inside of our 5 week Love Languages Challenge, starting April 1st. Come join us!

“We have had an instant change in our 3 year old son. He is able to go to his calm down space, recognise how he is feeling and talk about why he feels a certain way. It’s so nice to be able to spend that time connecting with him and his emotions.”
Michelle, Mama of 2
“The resources are beautifully presented, clearly explained and, most importantly, FUN! Implementing the calm down space has been a game changer for our household.”
Diana, Mama of 2
“The Mindful Little Calm Down Kit has been a wonderful addition to our day to day lives, helping us all to recognise and verbalise our emotions. We’ve found it incredibly helpful, and our home is a much calmer place since we started using it!”
Trish, Mama of 1
