See and hear what parents and carers say about working with Gill
Kate Sparshatt
I felt like this was the missing link to PACE and therapeutic parenting.
I was offered all the support I needed and was able to dip in out as appropriate for me.
Single Mum
I honestly can’t say thank you enough. I feel this has been life changing for my son and I. I feel like I have the tools and skills and knowledge to handle what life throws at us. I know I won’t always get it right, I know at times we will slip, but I also know I have the power to get us back on track again when this happens. I have gone from feeling unsafe and unsure most of the time, to in control and feeling safe all the time – in just 3 months with Gill’s course and weekly inputs. I absolutely love NVR and plan on making it my default of how I parent in our life together.
Sarah Gibbons-Ertel and Ertel
Gill is a very competent and insightful coach who brings her vast experience and knowledge to the course so that parents have the ability to relate their personal challenges to the material and examples that Gill provides. Gill went to great lengths to understand the challenges our children present with and then made sure that the content and examples used during the sessions would help us to understand and address those challenges better.
Jo & Vicky
After watching the mini-course we were instantly relieved there was someone who recognised what we were experiencing and was in a position to help. Your personal learnings and observations instilled our trust in you and gave us inspiration.
We have been really impressed with your e-course and found you to be warm and welcoming the whole way through. We believe you, trust you and know that every day, small adjustments can make huge differences to our family forever.
Each session was easy to follow and engaging. It made sense, was easy to remember and to put in place. As time went on, we felt small positive incremental changes happening to our own family dynamics and these little glimpses gave us confidence for the future.
We understand that there isn’t quick fix, but techniques we use on a daily basis. They give us strength and encouragement that we are on the right track and changes can and are happening. We would certainly recommend this course to any family in need of help and inspiration.
Kevin and Sarah Cobbledick
The NVR course has been enlightening and empowering in bringing about positive changes within our home. Gill has provided us with a toolkit of ideas and guidance on how and when to use them in our situation. The atmosphere at home has improved hugely and now, when there are behavioural incidents, the way in which we deal with them has changed and they are over almost as quickly as they begin. It feels like we are now pulling together rather than working against each other.
Andy Hebden
A great course that has made a difference for us at Home. I think its great to have access to the videos for reference and reinforcement of information shared in the course.
Zahra Alijah
I struggled because the content seemed to conflict with other training I have had and also because I have worked on putting in place pracitices and strategies to support my child. However, Gill quickly picked this up and worked with me to tailor the sessions to suit us. It has given me a greater sense of empowerment as a parent and supported me in ensuring I balance my child’s needs with my own.
Mark
Gill has really helped us to manage our daughter’s behaviour. We realise now that we had fallen into the trap of giving in to our daughter’s demands and at the same time losing any respect she had for us. With Gill’s calmly delivered and non-judgmental suggestions, we have developed our “parental presence”, and now feel we have got our daughter back – at the age of 20!
Kerry & Nic
The course has completely surpassed our expectations – it has saved our lives! We were at rock bottom – both depressed, stressed, and feeling hopeless and pessimistic about the future. We had just had a traumatic evening with our son when we logged on for our first session. By the end of even the first session, my husband looked and sounded more like his old self – we looked at each other and agreed that we had some hope again.
Gill has been just amazing – so professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind and non-judgemental.
We saw results immediately, with our son’s behaviours changing before our eyes. The violent behaviours are now pretty much eliminated, and we are all so much happier and united.
We now know that this approach really works, and we feel equipped to parent our son through many more difficult parts of life. We feel so safe and supported knowing that Gill is around should we ever need her wisdom and guidance!
