I Get You Now.
A one-Day Parent-Adolescent Coaching Experience
I Get You Now is a fun, practical, one-day coaching experience designed for parents and adolescent children (15-21) who want to work better together as a team through appreciation and understanding, critical communication, and a basic set of mutual expectations.
This is not therapy. It’s illumination.
Parent-Adolescent Partnership
Coaching, Not Therapy
It’s coaching—forward-looking, focused on positive behaviour, mutually respectful, grounded in professional coaching principles and practical tools you can use immediately.
Action
& Relief
It is an action-packed and fun experience filled with “ah-hah!” moments and quite a lot of relief.
Book a no-obligation spot for you and your adolescent child (children). I will then call you and we will chat to firm up the details.
Who This Experience Is For
This workshop is designed for families who are willing, optimistic, and ready to work better together.
Parents and adolescents who are optimistic about working better together, and would benefit from a structured process of learning, reflecting, safe dialogue and exploring simple commitments to helping each other.
Parents aren’t the enemy. Teens aren’t the problem.
The real issue is misalignment—unspoken expectations, unclear communication, and mismatched emotional needs.
What You’ll Experience On The Day
A safe, structured, and engaging coaching experience designed to build insight, empathy, and practical alignment.
Insight
Understanding What’s Really Going On
Some critical insight into what is actually happening biologically and neuroscientifically during this time – Yes! – for adolescents and parents. There is some very interesting, baffling stuff happening for both!
Workshop Structure
Discover the power of partnership in your relationship with your adolescent child. This workshop offers parents and adolescents a space to build a foundation of mutual understanding, respect, and support. It’s not about letting go of the natural roles and dynamics, but rather including a framing where both parent and child are allies, working together to achieve independence and connection.
- Looking under the hood of the traditional “parent/child” relationship to recognise the program underneath (Take a peep in my brain and a walk in my shoes – The User Manual and Daily Experience).
- Identifying friction points through empathy, and without blame.
- Establishing a shared language.
- Negotiating mutual expectations (Value mapping through a “currency” exchange).
- Drafting a contract (The Stop, Start, Continue grid)
- 30-day commitment.
Safety, Scope &
Professional Boundaries
Your family’s emotional wellbeing and psychological safety come first.
- I prioritise emotional wellbeing and psychological safety.
- This coaching experience is designed for families who want practical support—not clinical intervention.
- I am not going to delve into topics of trauma, depression, addiction, self-harm, or anything requiring therapeutic or psychiatric care.
These issues must be addressed in a clinical setting with the right professional.
I can provide referrals to qualified clinicians where needed.
