A Familiar moment
You ask. They refuse. Suddenly
you're both upset.
Maybe it's bedtime, homework, a phone, or a conversation that goes nowhere. You promise yourself you'll stay calm, but something in you tightens. Afterwards, you wonder why such a small moment
became so difficult.
Instead of another set of rules about how to be a 'good parent', this programme offers space to understand what happens between you — and what becomes possible when you notice your own
experience too.
WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY
Small shifts that make room for connection.
See beneath behaviour
Become curious about your child's feelings, needs and developmental stage — without excusing harmful behaviour.
Recognise your patterns
Notice the body sensations, emotions and familiar reactions that arise when parenting becomes difficult.
Respond with clarity
Practise boundaries, communication and repair that respect both your child and yourself.

Meet your Facilitator
Kristina Golub-Fabris
IAHIP Accredited Psychotherapist
Integral & Relational Body Psychotherapy
My work is rooted in early development, relationships and the connection between our emotional experiences and our bodies.
As a psychotherapist and a parent, I'm interested not only in how we relate to our children, but also in what parenting helps us discover about ourselves.
This is not about perfect parenting. It's about getting to know ourselves, staying curious and finding our way back to connection.

QUESTIONS PARENTS OFTEN ASK
Good to know
Is this suitable for parents of teenagers?
Yes. The themes apply across ages, and we'll use different examples for younger children, school-age children and teenagers. There is no single response that suits every age or family.
Will I need to share personal experiences?
No. You are welcome to reflect privately. Participation in discussion and exercises is always optional.
Is this group psychotherapy?
No. This is a parenting education and reflection programme, informed by relational body psychotherapy. It does not replace individual therapy or specialist support.
Will the sessions be recorded?
Personal group discussions will not be recorded. Any separate teaching recordings would be confirmed in advance with appropriate consent.
Can both parents or carers attend?
Parents and carers are welcome. Places and fees are per participant unless otherwise confirmed when registration opens.
What happens after I join the waiting list?
You'll receive an email when dates and registration details are available. Joining the list doesn't commit you to purchasing a place.

You don't have to become a perfect parent. You can begin by becoming more aware, more connected and more able to choose how you respond.
