I returned to paid employment last month so, I totally get how hard this feels. Let's create a space to process why this is such a tricky transition for parents, and share evidence-based strategies to support our babies. I will share with you my experience as a mother, and my expertise as a Child and Educational Psychologist with 10 years experience of supporting preschool and daycare settings.

Process your feelings around returning to work. Gain the knowledge and tools needed to navigate this transition as successfully as possible for you and your baby.

This Masterclass is For You If...

You're due to return to work and you will need childcare for your baby.

You're worried about how you will settle your baby into their new care arrangements, whether it will impact your attachment relationship, and how your baby will cope while you are apart.

You've been told that "you need to make your baby less attached" and been advised to "just leave them - they will adjust", but your attachment relationship that you have been nurturing since pregnancy means everything to you and your instincts are telling you that an abrupt transition is not what is best for you or your baby.

What if I told you that as a Psychologist, this masterclass will give you ALL the information you need to know how best to transition your baby into childcare.

  • I will empower you with the evidence-based approach that informed how I settled my 13 month old into her new childcare arrangements.

  • Steeped in attachment science that recognises the importance of relationship. 



Childcare is a huge part of your baby's early years. Let me support you both with the strategies that I used to support my little girl.

You need reassurance and a game plan


  • You want to invest in this transition to ensure your little one is as supported as possible amidst all this change.
  • You want advice that is informed by an evidence base, and to implement an approach that has been developed by a Psychologist and mother.
  • You need space to process why this transition feels so challenging (even though the majority of parents return to employment).
  • You want reassurance that your little one will be okay.

You and Your Baby will be okay.

My daughter and I were inseperable throughout the first year of her life and, I promise you, despite returning to work, we are both as bonded and connected as ever. 

Let me share what I know works.

Parenting young children is tricky. I can help.

The Psychologist's Child was created to support other families to feel confident in their decision to parent from a place of connection, to nurture their relationship with their child, to nourish their child's neurodevelopment while navigating the challenges of infancy and early childhood. I want to share what I have learned with you.
