Connect Relate Grow

Facilitative Coaching for Parents

Connect Relate Grow (CRG) is an approach that explores the needs and feelings behind behaviour and relationship challenges. By understanding the dynamics and learning strategies to reconnect with your teenagers/children, positive communication is facilitated and relationships are developed in which personal growth can occur for all and everyone can feel like a winner.

For parents who seek change in the behaviour of their young people, parent and family consulting and coaching can be a fruitful approach.

This approach

  • is inclusive - adults and children/young people have a voice and take responsibility
  • develops skills for meeting life challenges for the whole of life
  • is appropriate for everyone regardless of external or internal challenges
  • increases self-esteem
  • promotes more rewarding relationships in the home and in the world

Parents often contact a counsellor on behalf of their children as it is the young person who exhibits the most emotional turmoil and challenging behaviour either at home or at school or both. Parents have tried everything but seemingly to no avail and are at a loss as to what to do next.

As a parent, you can help your child or young person learn how to get their needs met in a socially constructive way, you can engage them in sharing their fears and challenges with you so that you can be their source of support and safety and enjoy a happier home.


Communication is our most powerful tool for creating the conditions that nurture a sense of belonging, safety and self-worth.

The CRG approach is based on principles that can be utilised in infinite situations. It supports adults to support children, including discontented teenagers and those with a mental health diagnosis, to feel capable, confident, loved and significant.

Contact me today to see if CRG focused coaching could help you strengthen your positive connection with your young person.
