About me

Parenting Coach • Trauma-Informed Practitioner I support parents through the emotional, relational, and nervous-system realities of parenting, especially when things feel harder than expected. I’m a parent to four neurodivergent daughters, diagnosed later in life. My lived experience of burnout, re-patterning, and learning to parent in a way that works for our nervous systems informs everything I offer. My coaching covers all aspects of parenting, including sleep, behaviour as communication, emotional regulation, and family dynamics. Sleep support is approached relationally and through a nervous-system lens, alongside what’s happening for the child and the parent, rather than as an isolated problem to be “fixed.” This work is grounded in attachment-aware, trauma-informed care and is best suited to families looking for whole-family support rather than single-issue strategies. If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, navigating exhaustion, or wanting support that looks beneath the surface, you’re in the right place.

I undertook the TRTP process in 2022. I felt amazing afterwards, calmer, and able to have conversations with my mother without the anxiety of the past. I felt able to tell my mother with love in my voice instead of anger when something was not her business. I have been able to spend time with the narcissistic personalities in my family, and they no longer have power over me. Pippa has changed my life and helped me to find my power whilst letting go of so many past traumas. Thank you will never be enough.

Philippa at Fantastic Futures has helped me immensely with my birth trauma (c-section) and other traumas that I didn’t realise I had been carrying around for a long time. Before this course I would just cry and become withdrawn at the thought of my c section and other birth trauma. I felt guilt and shame around it all and it kept me from moving forward. During the course, I worked through these traumas with Philippa. Every step of this course felt empowering, I was already choosing to get better for myself. After the course, I felt happy with myself and the choices I had made during birth. I started to become more aware of my thoughts, feeling and choices through everyday moments. I felt more grounded than ever. I finally feel confident to choose want I want from my life (birth + children, health, work, family and friends). I finally feel empowered to stand up and advocate for myself which has been something I have struggled with. Thank you Philippa for giving me the tools to get through this storm and the storms to come. I now I feel ready to move forward with my life… I choose to listen to me and be my best advocate.

My experience was Philippa was life changing. I found Philippa to be supportive, understanding and determined in making the most of our time together. She was patient and empathetic as I worked through my own comfort levels as I processed a lifetime of trauma. The TRTP method of trauma processing and healing was a new to me but was definitely the right path for me to take at this point in my healing journey. I would highly recommend Philippa to any of those ready to embark on this part of their own journey's. I will be forever grateful to Pip for being my gift and guide on this part of mine.
