The Ascend Approach
Connection First
We prioritize building a secure attachment before addressing behaviour. Using DDP principles, we focus on the parent-child bond to create a foundation of trust and safety.
Regulation Before Reaction
Understanding the 'why' behind behaviour is key. We utilize PACE and NVR frameworks to help you identify triggers and respond with empathy rather than frustration.
Compassionate Boundaries
Setting clear, respectful limits is essential for family harmony. We support you in establishing boundaries that protect your well-being while honouring your child's needs.
Supporting You as a Parent
We recognize that parenting is a journey. We provide the tools and emotional support you need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity.

About Angela
A Connective Parenting Specialist with over 20 years’ experience supporting children and families
Hi, I'm Angela. I work with parents who are navigating additional challenges: whether that’s big emotions, complex behaviour, or simply feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next.
My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in real life. I’m here to help you feel more confident, more connected, and more in control of your parenting. I’m also here to help you get the joy back into the relationship with your child.
Something that makes my work different is that I don’t just support parents. Alongside my connective parenting work, I am also a certified Therapeutic Life Story Worker and Therapeutic Social Worker. Within this role I continue to work directly with children and young people who have complex histories, helping them to make sense of their lived experiences and develop healthy identities. The children and young people I work with are my greatest teachers. They give me insight into how children think and experience the world, as well as what behaviour is really communicating.
I'm also a mum, so I understand the realities, pressures, and emotional complexities that come with parenting day to day.
How I Can Help
Empowering you with tools to understand behaviour, regulate emotions, and build compassionate boundaries.
Understanding Behaviour
Decoding the signals behind challenging moments. We explore the 'why' behind your child's actions using frameworks which look at your own child's individual needs.
Emotional Regulation
Learning to pause and ground yourself before stepping in. We help you and your family find your own best ways to manage stress and prevent reactive responses.
Compassionate Boundaries
Setting healthy limits from a place of care. We work together to establish clear, respectful boundaries that protect everyone's well-being.
Parenting Support
Supporting you as a parent. We provide a safe space to share your journey and find practical strategies which feel right for you.
1:1 Parent Coaching
One-on-one sessions tailored to your specific needs. We focus on personalized strategies and deep emotional regulation.
Webinars and Group Programmes
Connecting with others in similar situations. Our groups offer peer support and shared learning in a non-judgemental environment.
Testimonials
Leanne
"Angela has been a lifeline for our family. Through her therapeutic parenting, we have been able to devise strategies to help our children deal with adoptive trauma. Without her teaching, support and professionalism, I don’t believe I could have coped with their distress and challenging behaviours."
Jane and Tom
"We are immensely grateful to Angela for the support she has provided to our family. Her kindness and empathy have been invaluable in helping us develop our therapeutic parenting skills. Angela listened attentively and offered practical advice on how to manage the mental health challenges faced by our older daughter. Her ongoing support has completely transformed our situation. We genuinely believe that we would not be in as positive a situation as a family today if it were not for her support."
Jan
"'Angela helped me build my confidence back up when I didn't have any as a Mummy! She is a Mum herself so she was very empathetic to the things we spoke about & very caring. I really enjoyed learning new things & Angela was great at explaining everything. I definitely have tools now that I didn't before & will always use them."
