About Me
Welcome dear parents! I am so delighted you are here and I hope I can support you in your journey to parent in a conscious and respectful way so your family will thrive and flourish. I am Pamela, a certified parenting coach based in in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I provide my parenting services locally in person and internationally with the help of Zoom. I have used the Hand in Hand Parenting approach with my own children since 2015 and I became a certified Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor in January 2020. |
I have a Masters in Health Promotion and Public Health from Ulster University and have worked for 7 years for a charity in the field of alcohol and other drug prevention and education, with a particular interest in preventing substance use amongst young people. I am an active volunteer with my local NCT charity branch and I am a breastfeeding peer supporter with the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.
I love supporting parents in the hard work of raising children. In my mind, there is no job more important than nurturing our children to stay connected to themselves and develop healthy relationships with others and the world around them. I am passionate about sharing these transformational tools with parents and I love to see the changes unfold as parents start to use the approach in their families.

More About Me
First and foremost I am a parent to my two amazing children. They are my best teachers. Never has a day passed since becoming a mum without learning something new about myself and about life. Parenting for me is both a joy and a constant challenge. I am motivated to do my own healing work in order to be able to show up for my children. There are many days when things go wrong, where I fall into the old patterns of blame and shame. But I am so much less reactive than I was when I first became a parent. I have the tools to navigate the inevitable challenges that life sends our way. It often looks messy, but I know I have a ‘tote bag’ of practices and strategies to guide me back to being the calm and capable parent I want to be. I spent years of my parenting journey trying to figure out what I was getting wrong, why parenting was so hard and why I found it so challenging. I highly valued being a responsive and respectful parent but my old patterns were getting in the way. I was often impatient and angry despite my best efforts to stay calm and in control. |

Then I discovered the Hand in Hand Parenting approach. I connected with like-minded parents and found the tools and strategies I needed to parent my children in a respectful way whilst doing my own inner healing work. It brings me great joy to bring what I learned to the hundreds of parents I have worked with. I would love to connect with you and hear more about your parenting journey.
