About Katherine
About Katherine, I studied at the renowned Chiltern Nursery and Training College before deciding to work closely with families and their children for many years providing parent coaching advice as a skilled Childcare Practitioner. It was through my training experience and my own success stories, I noticed a gap that parents often lacked simple, effective guidance to confidently communicate and manage their children’s behaviour.
In 2015, Katherine established a dedicated coaching service to support parents, teachers, and anyone involved in caring for their kids. She founded Katherine Elizabeth, a personalised approach to parenting solutions that helps adults identify the root causes of their challenges and provides practical, easy-to-follow guidance to feel empowered and improve family life.

Our parent coaching offers personalised, one-to-one guidance using proven strategies to help support parents understand their child’s emotional needs, manage challenging behaviour, and build resilience for the whole family.
Working closely with you, we provide the tools to set clear boundaries and structure your child needs. A bespoke programme is put in place to help you identify and address the root cause of your child’s poor behaviour with clear and structured advice.

How Our In-Home Parent Coaching Works
We provide intensive, in-home parent coaching, typically spending three days with your family in your own home. This allows us to observe your day-to-day routines, understand family interactions, and offer real-time support and feedback to identify your goals and develop a parenting plan tailored to your unique situation and family dynamics.
Our parenting experts provide a variety of parenting strategies that can have a positive impact. We then spend time in person with both you and your children to build up a relationship, observing your normal routine and offering feedback. To prevent compassion fatigue, we emphasise building resilience and providing tailored support that helps you manage your emotional well-being.

Parent coaching is a supportive and non-judgmental process designed to empower parents with the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to raise happy, healthy, and well-adjusted children. Specialising in providing parents with the tools and strategies to manage their own wellbeing, parent coaching helps prevent parental burnout and fosters a growth mindset. By working with a trained parent coach, parents can gain a deeper understanding of their child’s needs, develop effective communication skills, and create a positive and supportive home environment. This holistic approach ensures that both parents and children thrive, building a foundation for long-term family happiness and success.
Three days is usually about right. This allows us to really get to know you and your children, and to provide the best possible support.
We usually stay with the families during our visits. Occasionally that is not appropriate and we organise local accommodation.
More often than not, parents will simply tell their children that they have a friend coming to stay. We fit in with that, sitting and chatting or joining in with whatever activities are planned.
This is a very common concern. We are always aware that, certainly at the beginning of our visits, everyone will be acting slightly differently. However we know exactly what we’re looking for and even if everyone is on their best behaviour, we can always spot the issues. It is our job to see what we need to – often the things that parents are missing.
Firstly, each family is different and there is no ‘usually’. Our role is to identify the root causes of your problems and build with you the strategies necessary to tackle them. It is often a case of changing parenting habits which in turn have an effect on children’s habits. For behaviours to change and become embedded for the long term might perhaps take 5-8 weeks. Nonetheless, there is almost always some discernible improvement over the course of our visits. To keep you on track we are at the other end of the phone for as long as you need us.
Yes, absolutely. Whilst consistency is important and certainly helpful, it is still possible for us to work with one parent to tackle the issues arising when the children are with them.
