About this Support Category
Parenting coaching can help parents and carers develop practical strategies for family life, communication, routines, boundaries, emotional regulation and confidence. It is usually focused on supporting the parent or carer, rather than providing direct therapy or tutoring for the child.
Families may look for parenting support where a child has autism, ADHD, SEND, anxiety, sensory needs, school difficulties, sleep challenges, emotional regulation needs or behaviour that feels difficult to understand or manage.
Services may include:
- Parenting coaching and one-to-one parent support
- Support with routines, boundaries and consistency
- Practical strategies for communication and family relationships
- ADHD-informed or autism-informed parenting support
- Help with confidence, stress, overwhelm or family decision-making
- Guidance around behaviour, emotional regulation or everyday challenges
If you are looking for specialist behaviour assessment, Positive Behaviour Support or a behaviour support plan, visit Behaviour Support.
When choosing a parenting coach or parent support provider, check their experience, approach, fees, availability and whether their support is suitable for your family circumstances.

Finding the Right Parenting Coach or Parent Support Provider
The right parenting coach or parent support provider will depend on your family situation, your child’s needs, the type of support you want and whether you are looking for general parenting guidance, SEND-informed support or help with a specific challenge.
Some providers focus on autism-informed or ADHD-informed parenting support, while others may help with routines, communication, emotional regulation, confidence, family stress, school-related challenges or practical day-to-day strategies.
This section is most relevant where parents and carers are looking for coaching, guidance and practical support for family life, rather than direct clinical therapy, tutoring or formal behaviour assessment.
Before contacting a provider, consider whether you need:
- One-to-one parenting coaching or family guidance
- Support with routines, boundaries, communication or consistency
- ADHD-informed, autism-informed or SEND-aware parenting support
- Help with emotional regulation, anxiety, overwhelm or family stress
- Online, in-person or group-based support
- Information about fees, availability, approach and follow-up support
