"I benefitted greatly from the course. It really empowered me but more importantly I came away with a great sense of calm and confidence that I could effect a change in my relationship with my son. My behaviour could make a difference even if it was a very small change. Above all the assurance that my son needed me no matter what was hugely reassuring."

"Thank you for a wonderful and informative course. It was just what I needed to wake up to the fact that my son is a young man with his own identity, and has changed the way I respond to him. I look forward to the next few years with him and I feel more equipped and strengthened to navigate through these teenage years."
