Practical, non-judgemental parent support for families, schools and organisations, with evidence-based strategies that fit real life.
Parenting in today's world comes with challenges many families never imagined they would face. From the lasting impact of the pandemic to the pressures of social media, key school transitions and a growing number of children with neurodiverse needs, the job has shifted — and parents are doing it without much of a map.
My approach is practical, evidence-based and non-judgemental, helping you build confidence and create calmer, more connected family relationships.
Explore support for parentsTriple P (Positive Parenting Program) is an internationally recognised, evidence-based parenting programme that helps parents build positive, confident relationships with their children. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, Triple P provides practical tools and strategies that can be tailored to each family's needs.
I have used the Triple P principles personally and with thousands of families, and found it to be effective and family friendly.

After more than a decade leading parenting and early-years work inside a UK children's charity, I've stepped out to continue that mission as an independent consultant. The approach is the same one that's changed thousands of family routines: warm, evidence-based, and relentlessly practical.
Trained in Triple P (Positive Parenting Program), one of the most widely researched parenting frameworks in the world, I bring the same methodology into every session, whether it's with a parent at the kitchen table, a school hall of 200, or a commissioning team at a local authority.
"Meave is deeply passionate about positive parenting. She brings a thoughtful, empathetic approach, ensuring that parents receive the guidance and support they need. Her professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment make her an invaluable asset to any organisation."
Assoc. Prof. Matt Buttery, CEO, Triple P UK & Ireland
I gave her my most vulnerable parents and it is nice to see the positive difference this has made to the parents and their children. Their confidence has grown and I can see the difference in their ability to believe in themselves.
The first night I came home after the course, I talked to my husband and told him how lucky I was to have Meave all to myself so I got so much out of it and what we would be doing from that night on. I cannot thank you enough, it's been an absolute godsend.
Her interventions within schools helped establish links more rapidly than newly trained staff could have achieved, and her experience was invaluable. I can wholeheartedly recommend Meave to any services interested in parental support and Triple P.

Triple P (the Positive Parenting Program) is one of the most extensively researched parenting approaches in the world, with more than 40 years of evidence behind it. It's used by the NHS, local authorities and schools across the UK. It gives parents practical tools rather than slogans, which is why I've stayed with it for so long.
Parent coaching runs both in person and online across the UK. For schools and organisations, sessions are primarily in person — I travel UK-wide, and virtual delivery can be arranged.
No, this is action-oriented coaching, not therapy. Professional and self-referrals are welcome. If something comes up in our work that would be better supported by a clinical service (for example CAMHS or a GP), I will signpost you accordingly.
I work to a full safeguarding policy shared with every client at the start of our work, hold an up-to-date enhanced DBS, and carry professional insurance. Full documentation is available on request.
