NVR sessions are collaborative, practical, and deeply relational. My role is to help you find your footing again — to move from exhaustion and reactivity toward calm, confident action and connection.

Each session begins with understanding what’s been happening at home and what feels most urgent. Together, we look at patterns of escalation, identify your stress points, and begin building tools for steadiness.

In early sessions, we explore the relational map of your family — who gets drawn into conflict, where anxiety builds, and what helps things settle. I’ll introduce the core principles of NVR — presence, resistance without aggression, and rebuilding connection — in ways that fit your particular situation.

As we move forward, sessions may include:

• Practical coaching on language and strategies for de-escalation.

• Regulation practices to calm your own nervous system before responding.

• Small acts of resistance that clearly but calmly signal harmful behaviour will no longer control the home.

• Reconciliation gestures that nurture repair and trust alongside firm boundaries.

• Planning support networks, inviting others to stand with you so you don’t have to hold this alone.

Throughout our work, I’ll help you notice what happens in your body and emotions as you begin to respond differently. NVR is not about punishment or compliance — it’s about reclaiming your own calm authority and creating a family environment grounded in safety and respect.

You’ll leave each session with clear steps to try at home and gentle reflection to bring back next time. Over the course of the work, many parents describe feeling more grounded, less fearful of their child’s reactions, and more hopeful about connection returning.

I bring the same nervous-system-informed, attachment-aware approach to NVR as I do to my therapy work — offering steadiness, warmth, and a practical path forward when things feel chaotic or stuck.
