Work With Me
Hi, I’m Olivia Edwards
A mum of three, a psychology graduate (first-class honours), a qualified early years teacher, and a globally certified trauma-informed parenting coach.
For over 17 years, I’ve supported children and families through challenges in child development, behaviour, emotional regulation, and family wellbeing. I’ve appeared on National tv, BBC News, Sky and across multiple radio stations and media outlets.
I know firsthand how exhausting parenting can feel; juggling work, home, and your child’s needs, and sometimes wondering if you’re “doing it right.”
There were times early on in my parenting where I felt lonely, overwhelmed, and unsure how to respond to my children’s big emotions, despite all my education and experience. This highlighted to me the need for support for parents, not only outside of challenging moments, when they are able to think more clearly and rationally, but inside those moments where you’re being pushed to your limits!
This drives my passion for giving parents the knowledge, tools, and confidence to navigate even the most challenging days with calm and clarity. Knowing that we are only human and won’t always get it right, but we can step into confident leadership whenever possible and go back and repair the ruptures when necessary.
When I’m working with a family I pride myself on the fact that I create a safe space where there’s no judgement and I can offer real insights from personal experience as well as professional. Parents often comment on how reassuring they find the sessions and how they feel truly heard and understood- sometimes for the first time.
My Parenting Philosophy
I believe parenting works best when both children and parents feel safe, understood, and connected.
My approach is trauma-informed, science-based, and deeply compassionate, helping families move away from constant conflict, overwhelm, and self-doubt, and towards calmer, more connected relationships.
When children feel emotionally safe, positive behaviour changes become possible, and when parents feel supported, parenting begins to feel lighter, calmer, and more manageable.
Together, we focus on:
Positive psychology — building on your child’s strengths while nurturing confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing
Nervous system regulation — helping both you and your child feel calmer, safer, and more able to cope during challenging moments
Responsive parenting — understanding when your child needs guidance, boundaries, reassurance, or space
Practical, personalised support — strategies tailored to your family, whether your child is neurotypical, highly sensitive, anxious, or neurodivergent
This work is not about becoming a “perfect” parent.
It’s about helping you feel more confident, connected, and equipped to respond with clarity instead of guilt, fear, or exhaustion.
Through this approach, parents often begin to:
Better understand their child’s emotions, behaviour, and needs
Respond with more calm, empathy, and confidence — even in difficult moments
Reduce power struggles and strengthen connection at home
Support their child’s emotional development without losing themselves in the process
Create a family environment where everyone feels more secure, cooperative, and resilient
Support for All Families
Whether you’re:
Parenting solo or co-parenting
