Demystifying Parenting Teens

Parentology World was created to take the guesswork out of raising teenagers.

I know how frightening it feels when your teen’s behaviour suddenly changes - whether it’s anxiety, anger, school refusal, friendship dramas, or just silence.

Parentology is where parents and teens get the right support, plus real tools that actually work in everyday family life.

  • "I feel stronger, more confident, and actually more hopeful than I’ve felt in years."

    - Parent of 13yr old

  • “You really listened. We felt like we weren’t being judged, just understood.”

    - Parents of 16yr old

  • “We were firefighting daily. You helped us get out of that cycle. I now feel like I’m parenting in such a calmer way.”

    - Parents of 12yr old twins

  • “Just knowing I could message you if something came up was honestly such a lifeline… it made me feel supported and less alone in it all.”

    - Parent of 14yr old

  • “You took something overwhelming and made it manageable. We actually understand our child better now and that’s changed everything.”

When it feels like nothing is working...

How I Can Help

Different families need different things. Here are three ways Parentology can support you and your teen.

âś… Teen Counselling

Myself and a team of trusted teen therapists provide a safe, confidential space for young people to open up. We work with your teen on what’s affecting them - whether it’s anxiety, anger, low mood, self-harm friendships, or school - and find a way forward with support, care, and practical strategies to help them feel stronger and more understood.

âś… Parent Support

Parenting a teenager can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to carry it alone. Laura is right there with you offering real-time support, coaching, and practical advice so you can feel calmer, clearer, and more confident in how you respond to your teen, even on the toughest days.

âś… Tools You Can Trust

Sometimes you just need something simple that works straight away. From Laura’s bestselling books to practical workshops and resources, Parentology gives you tools you can trust - real, usable help that fits into everyday family life.

Breathe. RESET. Begin again.

With the RESET framework, we get to the root of behaviour quickly, safely, and effectively. It’s a trusted approach - rooted in research and experience - that cuts through the chaos and gives you clear, practical ways forward.

Whether your teen is struggling with their mental health, behaviour, wellbeing, or friendships, RESET helps us find the path through.
