Do you wish you had more tools to help with parenting?
I help parents navigate the challenges faced and empower their children to reach their true potential.
Hi, I’m Emma, The Parent Coach
I am passionate about the potential we all have to work towards our best version of ourselves and thrive in any situation.
Early in my career, I discovered/realised the importance of children developing a set of skills and attributes to enable continued growth and bring the barriers down when faced with a difficult situation or challenge.
In response to this, I created a range of initiatives to support schools and their communities, working with over 200 schools developing a Growth Mindset, Resilience, Awareness, and positive mental health.
My philosophy is that we are all naturally resourceful, but sometimes we may have lost our way or feel the time pressure in our busy lives without being at our best. We are role models for our children. If we demonstrate resilience and confidence, this will directly impact our child’s response to challenge and discover a happier self.
My goal is to create a positive parenting experience and help bring down barriers that hold your children back
Sharing my expertise is something I love doing. So I want to offer you an opportunity to use the parent coach resource to help support you and enable us to have the best impact on our future generation.
From learned helplessness to learned confidence, embrace the challenge together and build stronger connections
- Does your child worry about making mistakes?
- Does your child avoid certain tasks and activities?
- Does your child compare themselves to others and feels like they aren’t good enough?
- Does your child want to do well in school but is stuck and doesn't know how to move forward/ take the next step?
- Do you feel there is a lack of support and overload of advice , no clarity of information?
- Parents so busy with work commitments not able to connect fully and be present with their children particularly when communicating.
- Children increasingly lack resilience and confidence and rely heavily on their parents to solve their problems and rescue them.
- Emma Alford has over 20 years teaching and leadership experience in Primary and Secondary schools in the UK and Australia.

Feedback wall
At the end of the sessions, I hand out post-it notes and ask the parents for their honest feedback. Here is a selection of these feedback notes.
