The Pathway Home for Parents follows our evidence-based understanding of how we cultivate trusting, connected and resilient parent-child relationships. It has four steps that each represent a different element to the process of optimising well-being in parent-child relationships. The Foundational Course, ‘Begin With You’, walks you through an overview of this four step process, describing the ‘whys’ behind its effectiveness, as well as the ‘hows’ to achieving more connection and balance within yourself and between you and your child.

‘Begin with You’ focuses on the first step in particular, Come Home to Yourself As a Parent, where you are invited to turn towards yourself to find ways to self-connection and self-regulate (find balance) and explore the aspects of your own experience of being parented may be influencing your own parenting style. This first step is fundamental, because when we open up to more self-compassion and understanding of our own processes, we are better able to show our children how to navigate their own storms and challenges that show up for them. By completing this course , my hope is that you have a solid foundational understanding of why and how the Pathway works, which will enable you to engage readily with the other courses and that you will begin to see and experience results immediately.

Yes, you must take at least one course from each Course Step before you move on to a course on the next step of the Pathway. You can take as many courses as you wish on each Step, and you can return to a previous Step to take another course on that step at any time

Yes, you are welcome to take your time and move around the course pathway once you have followed the path and taken a course in each step.

Whilst the pathway looks linear and has four steps that have a natural progression, you may find that you would like to go back to an earlier step and take another course. You are so welcome to do this, as this reflects the reality of life…it is rarely linear!

Yes, the courses are designed for busy parents by a busy parent 😊 so they have been crafted to be delivered in short, bite-sized lessons that are accompanied by a practical and easy to implement practice/strategy. The rationale here is that you are invited to integrate the learnings from each short lesson with an exercise that puts the learning into practice, where you can experience results straight away. Each course description includes the number of modules and the approximate length of time it will take to watch/listen and carry out the practices, to allow you to plan more easily how you can work it in to your day/week.

Another benefit from following the Course Pathway is that you can take your time to integrate the learnings and practices, and when you are ready you are guided to take the next course of your choosing on the Course Step that you are on or on the next Course Step up. You receive the courses for life, so you can return to them any time in the future.

The courses are provided through the Kajabi learning platform on my website. When you book and pay for a course, you will be emailed the link to the course site and log in details. You access the course from here. Each course contains a video with slides, a written script, an audio version, workbooks and audios or guided meditations.

No, the courses are self-guided and you take them at your own pace. You can work with me through my One-to-One Parent Guidance offerings once you have taken the Foundational Course, ‘Begin with You’. I also host an Instagram Live session here (Insert Insta link) each week on Wednesday mornings at 10 am (Irish time) where parents can ask me questions in advance by completing this form (Ask Dr. Julie Form) and I will answer a question a week.

The Pathway Home for Parents draws from evidence-based intervention for emotional regulation and many other difficulties that show up for parents, children, young people and families, however the Pathway is not intended to replace specialised therapy for parents or their children. Rather it is a guided process that can be followed that can be complemented by individual parental guidance with me and/or, if indicated, with specialised psychotherapy for parents, children and/or the family.

Yes, I have designed the courses so that the fundamental aspects of the steps can be universally applied. I embrace neuro-divergence and celebrate neuro-diversity and my hope is that my courses are reflective of the amazing richness that neuro-diversity - and all diversity - brings to life on this planet. If you or your child are neuro-divergent, I would invite you to reflect on whether any aspect of the approaches I suggest in each step require adaptation to honour your child’s specific needs and way of being in the world. My intention is to design more specific content for parents of neuro-divergent children in the future, so watch this space!

No, due to the digital nature of these courses, once you have paid the course is non-refundable.
