Circle of Security is a relationship-based parenting program designed to enhance attachment security between parents and children. Through attending this program, you will be given the opportunity to discover the missing “manual” you were hoping to receive when you had your child/children. The Circle of Security Parenting program is a practical, solution-based course that teaches parents, caregivers and teachers, how to help kids figure out their emotions and create a calmer environment.

You will develop an understanding of not only your child but of yourself as a parent and get a close look at your relationship with your child/children. In turn parent/child interactions will become less stressful and you can experience improved behavior.

The course is run over 8 sessions with a qualified therapist trained to deliver the internationally recognized Circle of Security parenting course.

*Price includes 8 sessions.
