This one to one/two coaching programme is specifically designed for parents who are ready to do the deep inner work and face their own past and patterns head-on, so they can stop repeating old mistakes, build a parenting partnership they trust and create emotionally safe, connected relationships with their child.
So instead of spending valuable time connecting as a family, you’re worried that your partner’s parenting patterns are having a negative impact on your child’s emotional wellbeing.
Right now, every little thing your child does feels like a targeted assault on your senses and mental state. As though they’re purposefully manipulating you and you’re having unkind thoughts about your own child.
Whether that’s shouting, spanking, threatening, punishing or giving them the silent treatment, you know your behaviour isn’t OK but you just can’t seem to stop yourself. Even though you’ve seen a therapist and done a lot of work on yourself, that work just isn’t translating into practice when parenting moments get heated. You’ve got the what and the why - you just don’t know how to do it all in the moment without harming your relationship with your child.
You’re away a lot, you work in dangerous, high intensity settings and you know your absence and your stress levels make it hard to form a meaningful connection with your child. When you’re home you’re emotionally drained. Every time you have to up sticks and move to a new country the guilt is overwhelming. You just don’t have it in you to keep giving and giving to your child. You resent the drain on your time and emotional capacity. And you feel guilt.
What you need is a safe, honest space to explore the ways that your parenting is being shaped by old patterns, unexamined beliefs and stress responses you learned long before you became a parent,
Together, we focus on helping you develop an authentic, grounded parenting voice that is embodied, relational and unmistakably yours. One your child can actually attach to, and one you can trust even when you're moving again, trying to settle in, finding new rhythms and work is pulling you away - mentally and physically.
...Because you’ve redefined what it means to be successful and no longer feel torn between your parenting and other priorities.
...Because you now understand how those patterns continued to influence your life by shaping your thoughts, beliefs and feelings.
...Because you’ve been able to untangle the voices in your head and can make the right decisions without self-doubt, self-recrimination or fear of causing harm to your child.
...Because you’ve improved your relationship with yourself, your parenting partner and your child by accepting and loving every part of yourself - even those parts that you’ve previously felt shame or guilt over.
...Because you’ve unpacked the roles that you’ve played in your family (past and present) and are ready to put a stop to the inauthentic you.
...Because you're both aligned on the values that are important to you. You're clear on what are your personal limits around your approach to parenting and the two of you are able to discuss parenting disagreements in a way that is calm, peaceful and productive.
A 3 month space where you'll stop repeating your parenting mistakes so that you can create an emotionally safe, connected relationship with your child. Align yours and your partner’s parenting to build a safe and trust filled home.
The coaching journey you are about to undertake with me will support you to do the deep inner work that is needed to parent in a way that feels deeply authentic, emotionally connected and not performative.
Over a three month period we will work around the three key pillars of parenting: Radical Responsibility; Authenticity; and Presence.
Every time you default to telling yourself that you’re not to blame, your child is being manipulative or purposefully pushing your buttons, you’re avoiding taking responsibility for your own reactions to their behaviours. And every time that happens, you give away some of the power you hold over your own parenting journey. Through guided and deep reflection without shame or judgement, you will explore your behaviours, thought patterns, assumptions and beliefs about yourself, your child and your parenting partner. By the end of our time together, you will take full ownership of your internal patterns so that you can reduce the way they manifest as external conflict in your parenting.
It’s easy when you become a parent to begin to believe:
That you have drastically changed and no longer recognise yourself. To grieve the person you thought you were or the life you feel you have lost before having your child.
That you are not good enough for your child which leads you to read all the books, do all the things they say, learn the scripts, follow the influencers.
Each of these beliefs prevents you from being your authentic self when you parent your child. For your child to form a truly secure attachment they need to know who they are attaching to - which means you need to know that person also. Your child doesn’t want to hear someone else’s words, they want to hear yours. In our work together you will reconnect with self, get to know the parts of you that feel new or uncomfortable and find your own, internal, centred parenting voice - you will reignite your parenting instinct. You’ll feel confident that your child is forming a secure attachment with the “real” you and you’ll continue to nurture a bond that will deepen for years to come.
Of all the aspects of parenting that you are called to do, this is perhaps the hardest for many. You have a busy life. A demanding job. No village except the help that you can afford to pay for. You are sometimes hundreds or thousands of miles from family, familiar culture, old and comfortable friends. You were raised to believe that being busy is a sign of success in life but a busy brain makes it hard to focus on your child. In our time together we are going to learn all the tools, strategies and tricks to use that will enable you to slow everything down, let things go and just be at peace with your child without being distracted by life.
Here we’ll dive into your past patterns, current challenges and the parenting practices that are holding you back in order to shift you away from survival based reactive parenting techniques and towards building a deep, sustainable connection with your child.
Here you can access me in between our calls. Use this space to drop questions, feedback, brain dumps, comments, middle of the night worries, etc at any time, day or night and I will answer during working hours within 48 hours. You can get straight into dropping questions into this space as soon as you enrol.
Here you'll join in a call with other international parents talking all things parenting in a safe, calm and supportive environment. You can get live support through hot seat coaching or simply tune in, listen to Qs from other parents and see how you're not alone in facing these challenges. So you stop feeling so alone on your international parenting journey.
Plus, you'll also get access to all the below coaching resources in your BONUS PARENTING TOOLKIT FOR PARENTING ABROAD.
When I think one of the below courses or toolkits will be particularly relevant to our work or your personal growth I will direct you to the exact pages you should cover. I know you're busy and will only direct you to these if I know it will have a significant positive impact on your daily parenting practice.

I’m Anthi - a Jai Institute for Parenting certified master parent coach who has worked with over 100 international and globally mobile families. I am a published educational researcher, teacher and relational practice school consultant and I am also a mum to a boy who has completely reshaped how I see children, parenting and myself. Together with my husband and son, we’ve built a life on the move, living and working across multiple countries while staying deeply connected as a family. Over the past 25+ years I have lived in five countries across three continents.
Prior to coaching I spent 25+ years in the field of education, working with children, families and schools across 25+ countries on four continents. My coaching certificate trained me in evidence-based parenting approaches that deliver real transformation for parents. Growing up between cultures, I understand firsthand the unique pressures of raising children in globally mobile families - and how to navigate them successfully.
Over three months you will experience major changes in how you view and understand your patterns of behaviour and your reactions to your child. Your behaviour will shift to be calmer, more predictable and you will find you have a greater capacity to be emotionally available to your child. And at the same time, when your parenting isn’t perfect, you will find fewer voices in your head admonishing you and be able to extend more grace to yourself. I can’t wait to welcome you into my private coaching space. Book your Connection Call and let’s get started on this work together.
Since doing the programme my partner and I work better as a team and take time to discuss our parenting approach. We don't always agree on the details but have the same overall goals and approaches. We now regularly discuss particular challenges and support each other, which has also strengthened us as a couple.

Working with Anthi has genuinely transformed my relationship with my child. I've learned how to apologise sincerely and repair when things go wrong and the difference is profound. The respect and trust between us is finally building in a way I never thought possible. This coaching gave me back the connection I was desperately afraid I'd lost.

Anthi gave me a safe space to really dig into the hard stuff and I'm so glad I did. The biggest breakthrough was discovering how my own childhood experiences were shaping my default parenting patterns - honestly, I didn't expect that connection to be so clear or so powerful. The sessions were both informative and deeply useful and the practical tips I learned are still helping me today. It was exactly the kind of work I needed to do.

Most parenting support gives you tools to manage your child's behaviour. Scripts for tantrums. Strategies for bedtime. Techniques for sibling rivalry. Guidelines for dealing with your child’s feelings about starting in another new school.
This work does something entirely different: It helps you understand and shift the patterns inside you that are driving the conflict in the first place.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
Other approaches: Learn what to say when your child melts down
Working with me: Understand why their meltdown activates your nervous system - and what that reaction is actually about so that you can stay calm and deal with their behaviour appropriately without harming your relationship with them.
Other approaches: Stop shouting at your child.
Working with me: Discover what the shouting is protecting you from feeling and learn to be present with those feelings so the shouting naturally drops away
Other approaches: Get consistent parenting strategies between you and your partner.
Working with me: Unpack why you're drawn to different approaches in the first place, so alignment comes from shared understanding rather than forced compromise.
The skills you gain here don't just work for "difficult behaviour" or a specific age. They transfer to every developmental stage, every transition, every move, every challenge - because you're not learning techniques, you're learning about yourself.
And unlike programs that give you 6 weeks of content then leave you on your own, you get three months of intensive, personalized support as you do this deep work - with ongoing access to me and an international parenting community within The Global Parent Coaching Circle so you're never doing it alone.
Absolutely. I have clients with tiny babies and I have clients with adult children. The ideal time to do this work is when your child is between the ages of 6 months and 18 years old - the years when children are developing core skills in self-regulation, motivation and resilience. And when your role as their anchor is most crucial.
The tools and coaching focus on strengthening your leadership and your connection, so they adapt easily to your child’s age, stage and personality.
Whether you’re navigating another intercontinental move, coparenting, culture clashes, work and life pressures or rocky teen years, you’ll learn how to stay calm, clear and confident while guiding your child through change.
My one to one coaching is specifically designed for parents who are globally mobile, busy with high-pressure lives and juggling ever changing priorities. You don’t need to spend hours a day on this. This isn't about adding to your plate, this is about making life easier for you.
Coaching resources are available to you 24 hours a day and I will direct you to which resources you will find most useful during our time together - so no more being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information available. And when you do dig into them you’ll find that they are presented in bite sized, easily digestible chunks with a focus on audio not visuals and accessible whenever you have the time for them.
You book our twice monthly calls using my online booking system on days and times that suit you.
Our private Telegram chat is open 24 hours a day so you can drop your questions in there no matter what time zone you’re in and I will answer them in 48 hours or less. So you can read or listen to my responses at a time that suits you.
Calls will be recorded and shared with all one to one parents for the duration of your time in the programme.
You’re already pouring out energy reacting, worrying, apologising and firefighting. Working with me gives you tools that reduce that drain within just days. The emotional investment isn’t more pressure; it’s the fastest way to stop bleeding time and energy.
I have lived experience parenting as a neurodiverse individual and as the child of a neurodiverse parent. The jury's still out on my child. I also have years of experience working with neurodiverse children.
The most incredible part of the work I do with you is supporting you to “know your child". To really witness who they are. It's not about generic children, milestone checklists and age appropriate behaviours. It’s all about how to get to know your child and truly understand them - not the child they should or could be. That means that the work that you'll do with me is applicable to any and all children that you might have now or in the future regardless of their age, their background or their neurodiversity.
That's BRILLIANT! My one to one space is designed to serve parents doing the work individually and as a couple. If you’re doing this work as a couple, you can choose which calls you take together and if you want to take any alone. I would usually recommend that you do the first and last calls together and that each of you do at least one call alone but as with the rest of the three month programme, it is heavily tailored to your needs. If you are doing this work as a couple our Telegram chat would be set up to include both of you so that we can hold three way coaching conversations in there. You can also alternate who comes to The Global Parent Coaching Circle calls.
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Your work with me is about you and your relationship with your child. If you are coparenting at a distance then we will dig into that as one aspect of your child’s home set up and context. In my experience of working with couples, getting clear on your own relationship with your child goes a long way to making the coparenting experience more harmonious.
Working with Anthi helped me to understand that my anger wasn't because I'd suddenly changed or wasn't cut out to be a mother. It had roots I could actually trace and work on. That realisation was everything. It made the anger easier to handle in the moment, made forgiving myself afterward possible and with Anthi's help, I found the root causes and started taking real steps to address them. I'm not the angry parent I was afraid I'd become.

I'm much more confident in my parenting decisions. I'm not second-guessing myself constantly anymore and I actually think through consequences instead of just reacting out of anxiety. I genuinely feel like a happier parent now. Calmer, more sure of myself and way less stressed about whether I'm doing it "right."
Living overseas.
I have completely changed how I show up for my child. I'm learning to pause before I react - to notice when my natural reaction isn't the one I actually want to give. I still run out of patience sometimes, but now I can slow down more often and choose how I respond instead of just defaulting to old patterns. It's made me so much more intentional about meeting my child's needs instead of just reacting from my own stress.

How your child will handle stress as an adult. Their capacity for emotional regulation. Their mental health, physical health, even their life expectancy and career choices. The research is clear: Secure attachment is the foundation for virtually every wellbeing outcome we care about.
And it's being built right now, in these exact moments you're living through.
If you're ready to do the deep work that creates that foundation - not through scripts or perfection, but through showing up as your real, grounded self - book your Connection Call today. This is a no obligation, no pitch call. At worst you'll get countless useful tips, inputs and insights into your parenting. At best, you'll get me by your side for the next three months as you navigate the next stage in your parenting journey.
