You knew parenting wouldn’t be easy, but you never expected it to be this hard. You’ve tried everything, and nothing seems to work. You’re exhausted and worried things will never get better.

Can you relate?


What is the Battle Free Parenting Programme?

The Battle Free Parenting Programme is you, me, and a small number of other parents (max. 10) who get it because their children are also frequently oppositional and defiant and struggle to manage their Big Emotions and Big Behaviour. They’ve also tried everything, and while things are better for a few days, they never last. They know what it’s like when new strategies make things worse. The programme is a safe and supportive place where you finally get the support you deserve and no longer feel alone. 

What’s different about Battle Free Parenting?

Oppositional and defiant see and experience the world differently from those who aren’t. This means that One-Size-Fits-All strategies that work for most children don’t work for oppositional and defiant children. What does work is parenting in a way that fits the child’s personality, beliefs, values, strengths, and difficulties. This programme is not a generic, One-Size-Fits-All programme. Together, we’ll create your personalised roadmap to meet your goals. You won’t be left with tons of lessons and worksheets to figure it out on your own. You’ll receive group and 1:1 support.

This programme is different from anything else I’ve seen (even my other offers) because it’s designed with the unique traits of children who are oppositional, defiant, and aggressive in mind. It goes beyond the usual triggers and strategies and helps you: 

  • Understand why children are defiant, oppositional, and aggressive when things don’t go their way so you can empathise and connect with your child more easily.
  • Uncover triggers that are rarely mentioned in parenting courses and programmes so that you can prevent as many Tricky Parenting Situations as possible and confidently manage them when they do occur (a perfect life sadly doesn’t exist).
  • Have a closer and more connected relationship with your child so that parenting isn’t just more enjoyable and fun; your child’s more likely to want to cooperate.
  • Communicate with your child in a way that makes it easier for them to cooperate so that meltdowns, battles, and aggression are no longer a daily occurrence.
  • Create a Perfect-For-Your-Child Support Plan and a Calm Down Toolbox so you can support them and help them manage their Big Emotions in a way that fits them and your family.

In case you don’t know me, let me tell you a little bit about me…

I’m a Psychologist and ASD/ADHD Parenting Specialist with 15 years of experience working with children, young people and their parents (9 years spent in Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services). I’m also a proud ADHDer whose superpower is thinking outside the box and seeing patterns when there doesn’t seem to be any. I’m also a home-educating mum to two ND kids, ages 10 and nearly 13 years old. I know how hard it is to balance responsibilities and meet children’s intense needs. My eldest is the poster child for what’s possible when you parent in a heart-centred, child-led way.


What’s involved, exactly?

I created this programme with an emphasis on doing. Modules will drop into your student portal approximately fortnightly, with Implementation Weeks between content drops. These weeks allow you to put into practice what you’re learning and watch any lessons you haven’t had a chance to watch. You’ll be supported fortnightly in group coaching calls (on Zoom) where everyone gets to talk to me, in Weekly 1:1 Voxer Office Hours (a secure messaging app that allows voice and text messaging), and every day in the private Facebook(TM) Group. Life is busy, so you can learn and get the support you need in a way that fits your life. With lifetime access* to the lessons and resources, you don’t have to worry about falling behind.

Here's a list of what's included:

  • Lifetime access* to the pre-recorded lessons so you can watch when you want (value £297)
  • Worksheets/workbook so you can keep all your notes and exercises organised and in one place (value £44)
  • Cheat sheets so you can find the information you need quickly without having to watch the lesson (value £44)
  • Fortnightly group coaching calls so you can ask me anything “in person” (value £777)
  • Weekly Voxer Office Hours so you can get 1:1 support between group calls (value £555)
  • Access to a Private Facebook(TM) Group so you can get support from me and your fellow like-minded parents between calls and Office Hours (value priceless!)

And because I’m so committed to your success, I’m throwing in these awesome bonuses! 🤩

  • Lifetime access* to my Behaviour Detective Workshop so you can uncover what’s causing any challenging behaviour (value £55)
  • No more guessing, hoping and praying strategies will work with your Personalised Parenting Roadmap. I'll uncover the root cause of your child's behaviour and suggest a support plan you can start melting those challenging behaviours ASAP (value £95)
  • A 45-minute 1:1 Kick-Start call, where we can get to know each other and discuss your Behaviour Diaries report (value £85)
  • A 45-minute 1:1 Check-in call scheduled for 4-6 weeks after the programme ends so we can make sure everything’s going well and plan out what you can work on next (value £85)

*By Lifetime access, I mean that you’ll have access to the programme content as long as I’m alive and I have somewhere to host it.

Is it worth it?

Great question! You may not know it, but I pour everything I have into all I do and can make even the most complex, confusing concepts easy to understand and implement. This is a brand new programme, but here’s what some of my past clients and students have said about working with me:

  We struggled with our son’s behaviour, and there was a lot of conflict at home. I felt exhausted and stuck and didn’t know what to do. Since working with Cindy, we have had less conflict. I feel that there’s light at the end of the tunnel, and the house is much calmer. I recommend that everyone work with Cindy, especially if their child is ‘explosive’.

Carole V

Mum of Two (5 and 8 yrs old)

  We had many arguments about getting everyday things done and regular meltdowns we didn’t know how to help. I felt overwhelmed and lost. We tried reward charts and talking to him mid-meltdown, but it felt that nothing we did worked. We’re still learning and have bad days, but things have improved. I feel in a better position to help and more positive about his future.

Sarah M

Mum of Two (9 and 4 years old)

  Some days were great, some were horrible. I felt discouraged, confused, and sad. We tried gentle discipline, rewards and consequences but it felt like most of the time, nothing changed. I now feel as though I understand my son better. It's been slow going, but I feel as though it's getting better. I feel more hopeful most days. I wish I had found Cindy faster.

Maryse G

Mum of Two (12 and 8 years old)

So if …

  • Your child is frequently oppositional, defiant, and easily gets angry (especially when things don’t go their way), and you don’t know what to do to make things better
  • You’re tired of walking on eggshells, afraid to ask your child to do anything because it always ends in a battle
  • Are sick of trying every strategy out there, never knowing if it’s going to work or if it’ll make things worse
  • You want your child to be happy, calm and more cooperative and a more harmonious family life where you enjoy spending time together but don’t want to do it on their own List item two

…then the Battle Free Parenting Programme is for you!
