Before we look at Therapeutic Parenting Coaching, let's look at one of the most asked questions ... so What do you do...?
I always struggle to answer as everyone knows what a doctor, a nurse, or a surgen does, but when it comes to what a parenting specialist does there are myths around it.
I can't tell you what other parenting coaches/consultants/specilaist does as everyone is different, but here's what I do.
I always like to use Gordon Ramsay's show Kitchen nightmares as an example.
If you have not seen it before, basically, Gordon Ramsay is invited by restaurant owners to spend a week with them in an attempt to revive their failing business.
The restaurants are not having customers and are not making money.
This is what we see from the outset, but when Gordon investigates. He always finds a lot of problems in the restaurant, such as the menu, the quality of the food, the customer service, the environment, the relationships ... .etc.
He works through each problem with them and helps their business thrive. He has saved a lot of restaurants from going out of business.
Now you are thinking.. What does it have anything to do with me, your family and what I do…
Literally everything..😅
On the outset, families I am working with are struggling with their teenage children’s troubled behaviour, they are not going to school, fighting, being aggressive, self harming, taking drugs and engaging in other risky behaviour.
But when I investigate with the families, we often find there are challenges around co-parenting, communication, family relationships, trauma, mental health difficulties, impact of life adversaries, lack of support for neurodivergent families and teenagers…. and so on.
If Gordon had only treated the symptoms and focused on making money and If I had just worked on the troubeld teenager behaviour- nothing would have worked.
We need to work on the underlying root causes, and develop practical and bespoke action steps that meet your unique family blueprint to bring powerful results. This is what Heal Family First Method: TTP does. It help families help achieve positive outcome in the shortest time possible.
I created this method because I was sad to witness families struggling for years without a way out despite having access to all possible approaches and resources out there. It was also painful to see them spending so much money on trying to get help but with no return.
I was also tired of the limitation of what I can do in every single role even when I was in senior management role.
" No, we can't do that becasue we don't work with younger children but 11-18 years old".
" No , we can't see the family 3 times a week becasue we are not an intensive service".
" No, we can't work with the younger siblings becasue your focus is on the one who goes to our school".
That's why I left my job in the coporate world and founded Rainbow Parenting Practice, with the principles that I can coach parents to strengthen their parenting skills using intergrative approaches with therapeutic elements which I call it Therapeuctic parenting coaching.
Therapeutic parenting coaching is a specialised form of parenting skills coaching that incorporates therapeutic principles to help parents develop effective strategies for interacting with and supporting their struggling teenage children.
It is particularly beneficial for parents who are facing challenges related to:
Troubled behaviour: Acting out, defiance, aggression, school refusal, difficult behaviour in school and community, breaking curfew, absconding or self-harm...etc
Emotional well-being: Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or emotional dysregulation
Developmental needs: Autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or other neurodevelopmental needs
Co-parenting challenges: Difficulties in communicating or coordinating parenting efforts with co-parents
Relationship difficulties: Strained relationships within the family or with extended family members
While therapeutic parenting coaching involves a more structured approach with specific goals and measurable outcomes, Pei-I's Heal Family First Method: TTP offers a more comprehensive and holistic approach. This method addresses the emotional, relational and psychological factors, family dynamics and other important factors that can influence parenting challenges.
This method offer families a deep understanding of the complex factors that influence challenges at home, and allow us to work together to identify underlying issues, develop tailored strategies, and provide comprehensive support.
By choosing therapeutic parenting coaching, you can expect:
Improved behaviour in your teenager
Increased understanding of your teen's behaviour and needs so that you can support them to be motivated and have the drive you possess to achieve success in their lives.

This way, the families get to have access to everything they need. It's holistic. It collapses time and increases family's efficacy.
