THE WHOLE FAMILY FEELS IT

When your teen is struggling, it doesn’t just stay with them.

Anxiety, anger, withdrawal, school refusal, low mood or emotional overwhelm can change the whole atmosphere at home.
1

Your teen is carrying distress

They may be shutting down, exploding, avoiding school, isolating, or seeming like a completely different person.

2

You’re carrying the worry

You’re trying to stay calm, say the right thing, keep life moving, and work out what is actually going on.

3

The whole home feels it

Everyone can become more tense, reactive, careful, disconnected, or stuck in the same difficult patterns.

In-Touch supports the family system — not just one person.

As parents, you'll get real-time guidance through the week. Your teens (or pre-teen) can be supported through sessions where needed. Together, we work on what is actually happening for them.

tle very quickly.
THE PART NO ONE TALKS ABOUT

You think you should get your teen into therapy…
and yes — that can really help.

They can talk about what’s going on. Where it’s come from. Build confidence, self-esteem, identity — and we can absolutely support them with that.

But what about the moments when things start to fall apart at home?

The 1am anxiety spiral… when everything feels like too much.
The 8:15 meltdown when they won’t go to school.
The argument that comes out of nowhere.
The 50th time you’ve asked… and they just. won’t. listen.
  • Do I push… or back off?
  • Do I take their phone… or leave it?
  • Do I talk… or give space?
  • Do I stay calm… or have I already made it worse?
  • What am I actually meant to do right now?

Because in those moments — you’re the one holding it all.

And this is where most parents are left… second-guessing everything.

The biggest shift doesn’t come from sessions — it comes from knowing what to say and do in the moment.

Yes, your teen can be supported through therapy sessions.

But In-Touch is what gives you the confidence to handle real life as it’s happening. Combine the two and life starts to

IF THIS FEELS FAMILIAR

You’re not looking for more parenting tips. You’re looking for help that actually lands in real life.

Your teen might be anxious, withdrawn, angry, overwhelmed, refusing school, glued to screens, or just not themselves.

And you’re left trying to work out what to say, when to step in, when to back off, and whether you’re making things better or worse.

You’re walking on eggshells

One small comment can turn into silence, shouting, tears, slammed doors, or a full emotional spiral.

You’re constantly second-guessing yourself

You replay conversations afterwards and wonder if you said too much, too little, or completely got it wrong.

You’re carrying more than people realise

Your teen’s stress lands on you — while you’re also trying to work, parent, manage home life, and keep yourself steady.

Advice alone isn’t enough anymore

You can read all the right things, but in the moment, when emotions are high, it’s hard to know what to actually do.

“I just need someone to tell me what to say right now — before I make it worse.”

This is where In-Touch is different.

Instead of trying to hold everything until a weekly session, In-Touch gives you support while things are actually unfolding.

It’s like having mini therapeutic coaching sessions across the week — so you’re not holding everything for one session.

Because when you feel calmer, clearer, and more supported, everything starts to shift.

You don’t have to keep figuring this out alone.

Speak to me. I’ll help you make sense of what’s going on and how In-Touch could support you.

You think you should get your teen into therapy — and yes, that matters.

But therapy alone doesn’t solve what’s happening at home in between.

What parents are often left with…

  • Trying to work out what’s really going on
  • Not knowing what to say in the moment
  • Worrying they’re making things worse
  • Carrying everything between sessions

With In-Touch…

  • I help you understand what’s actually happening
  • I explain what your teen needs from you
  • I guide you on what to say and how to respond
  • You feel supported as things unfold
This is the part most parents are not told.

When your teen is struggling, you are the one with them — in the moments that matter most.

You are not the problem. But you are a huge part of what helps things shift.

When you understand your teen, feel more confident, and know what to say and do — everything starts to change at home.

That’s where In-Touch supports you — while life is actually happening.
You’re not meant to carry this alone.
WHY THIS WORKS DIFFERENTLY

Your teen’s struggles don’t wait for next week’s session. So neither should your support.

Traditional sessions can be powerful. They give space to reflect, process, and understand what’s going on.

But when your teen is anxious, shutting down, refusing school, exploding, or pulling away — the hardest moments usually happen between appointments.

With sessions alone...

  • You often talk about what already happened.
  • You hold everything in until your next appointment.
  • You leave with ideas — but then real life kicks off again.
  • You can still feel alone when things escalate at home.

With In-Touch...

  • You can tell me what’s happening as it unfolds.
  • We work out what to say and do in the moment.
  • We reflect, adjust, and adapt strategies in real time.
  • You feel supported through the week — not just for one hour.

It’s like lots of mini therapeutic coaching sessions across the week.

Not because you need more to do — but because you need support when the moment is actually happening.

1

You share what’s happening.

2

We make sense of it together.

3

You know what to say next.

4

We debrief and adjust as we go.

This is the real work.

Teen sessions and parent sessions are available where needed. But for many families, the biggest shift happens when the parent is supported through the week — while real life is unfolding.

CHOOSE THE SUPPORT THAT FITS

Start with clarity. Stay supported through the week.

Every family is different, so there are three simple ways to work with me — depending on how much support you need right now.

Start here

Strategy Session

A one-off session to make sense of what’s happening and create a clear plan.

  • Understand what may be going on underneath the behaviour
  • Get clear on what to say and do next
  • Leave with practical steps you can use straight away
  • Ideal if you need immediate clarity before deciding what support fits
Best for: parents who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.
Most supportive

In-Touch Core

Real-time weekday voice and message support while life is actually happening.

  • Message when something is unfolding at home
  • Get support, reassurance, direction, and practical guidance
  • Debrief after difficult moments so you’re not carrying it alone
  • Adjust strategies as things change through the week
Best for: parents who need support between sessions, not just after things have blown up.
Deeper support

In-Touch Plus

Everything in Core, plus fortnightly sessions for deeper work and reflection.

  • Real-time weekday support through voice and message
  • Fortnightly sessions to go deeper and review what’s shifting
  • More space to understand patterns, stress, anxiety, and family dynamics
  • Ideal when you need both in-the-moment support and structured sessions
Best for: families who want the highest level of support and more consistent change.

Support starts from the price of lunch each day.

A therapist in your pocket — helping you feel calmer, clearer, and less alone when things feel hard at home.

Not sure what you need?

That’s completely normal. Speak to me and we’ll work out together which option makes the most sense for your family.

Hi, I’m Laura

I’m a psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience supporting teens and families, an award-winning author, and a parent of two teenagers myself.

I support parents when things start to feel tense, overwhelming, or like they’re slipping out of control at home.

For years, I worked directly with teens — helping them navigate anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional struggles.

But I kept seeing the same thing again and again:

Parents were left trying to manage everything in between sessions — not knowing what to say or do when things were actually happening at home.

That’s where it felt hardest.

So I changed how I work.

I created In-Touch — real-time support for parents, through the week, in the moments that actually matter.

Because when you feel clearer, calmer, and more confident in how to respond — everything starts to shift at home.

“I just needed someone who actually gets it… and can tell me what to do in the moment.”

That’s exactly what this is.

REAL FAMILIES

This is what changes when you’re supported in the moment

“I used to panic in the moment and either say too much or shut down. Having support there changed everything.”
I finally knew what to say — and our arguments didn’t escalate the same way anymore.
Parent of a 14-year-old
“It felt like I had someone in my corner who actually understood what was happening at home.”
I didn’t feel alone anymore — and that made it easier to stay calm and consistent.
Parent of a 15-year-old
“This worked differently to anything we’d tried before. It actually helped in real life.”
Home feels calmer and I feel more confident in how I handle things.

You don’t have to keep doing this on your own

COMMON QUESTIONS

Still wondering if this is the right fit?

Is this therapy?
This is therapeutic coaching. It blends therapeutic understanding with practical, in-the-moment support. It’s not traditional weekly therapy — it’s designed to help you respond differently while life is actually happening.
Is this for me or my teen?
This is primarily parent support. Because when you feel calmer, clearer, and more supported, your teen experiences a different response from you. Teen sessions are available where needed.
Can I just book one session?
Yes — you can start with a Strategy Session. But if things are ongoing at home, the biggest shift usually happens when you’re supported through the week, not just in a one-off session.
How quickly do you reply?
Support runs on weekdays, with same-day responses during working hours. So you’re not left holding things on your own.
What if I don’t know what I need?
That’s completely normal. Most parents aren’t sure at this stage. We’ll figure it out together — based on what’s actually happening for you and your family.
Is there any pressure to sign up?
No. The first conversation is about clarity, not pressure. You’ll leave knowing what your options are — and what feels right for you.

If home feels tense and you don’t know what to do next, start here.
