Testimonials

Doing the parenting course with Anne was one of the best investments we’ve made. We did this in private sessions rather than a class. This allowed us to go deeper into our own situations and to engage in challenges and growth that would have been difficult in a group. It is now several months since we finished the initial course and the effects are still working. The course material is concise and clear, and Anne’s manner is both supportive and challenging. She makes an excellent mentor. Kevin O Kelly

I found this course very valuable in helping me better understand the idea and value of healthy boundaries between people. It also helped me explore and understand my own reactions in various situations, helping me find the freedom to better parent my children. This course gives valuable insights into where teenagers are coming from and tackles fundamental issues in parenting them. Anne Brannick is an excellent course facilitator and it is obvious that she puts into practice the principles on which the course is based.  H. Mother of two children.

I felt that partaking in the course, helped me become more assertive, self- aware, and helped me develop insight into why I was doing things instead of beating myself up about things’. (childcare team manager)
