I wanted to find a better way to deal with my three children, have a good relationship with them and enjoy seeing them grow up, rather than be resentful.
“I was that shouty mum, who used to constantly say NO to my kids and get absolutely nowhere with any sort of ‘punishment’ or discipline.
I felt at a loss and didn’t know a way to better myself and build a connection with my kids – but I knew I wanted to change both aspects.
And this is when I got in touch with Camilla.
I wanted to find a better way to deal with my three children, have a good relationship with them and enjoy seeing them grow up, rather than be resentful.
I didn’t have a great relationship with my dad when I was younger. We used to always argue and shout at each other. In a way I never learnt that there was another way.
Camilla coached us through different methods. Methods which I had never thought about, but gave us incredible results in a very short space of time, methods which we still use now and are so easy to implement on a daily basis.
She taught me in particular that there is another way and it doesn’t have to be the shouty way, the way I was brought up…
I now listen to my children more, acknowledge and understand their behaviour better and can therefore react in a much more positive way.
I am no longer the shouty mum I used to be.
And my relationship with my kids has changed so much, I often wonder why I hadn’t started this journey sooner.
If you want to make changes to the way you parent and want to have a better relationship with your kids, please do get in touch with Camilla.
I cannot recommend her highly enough.
And I am still in touch with Camilla now, should I ever need that little extra support.
She has been a true game changer in our household.
Quite an eye-opener really… And I am very thankful for that.”

I finally feel like I can understand my children and give them what they need to succeed And I have learned to also be very comfortable in setting my boundaries.
“I used to shout at the kids, because I didn’t know what else to do and I felt like I was losing control. Of course this just taught them to fear my outbursts yet learn nothing from them except to shout in return, and at each other. All the noise I taught them to make would trigger my anger.
I was stuck in a pretty unpleasant vicious circle. I had these three awesome small children and I was ruining it. I was afraid they would grow up and not trust me.
Within the first couple of weeks working with camilla I saw positive changes.
It continues to be a gradual shift, but I think it’s been about ten months since I met Camilla and I realised recently that I almost never shout anymore and haven’t for quite a while.
We don’t have a ‘naughty step’ or send our kids to their rooms because we don’t need to. I don’t feel like the kids are deliberately trying to wind me up all the time because I have learned to see situations for what they really are. I am less reactive. I finally feel like I can understand my children and give them what they need to succeed and I have learned to also be very comfortable in setting my boundaries. I can validate and sympathise but I don’t have to agree.
One of the best bits is that Camilla continues to be there for me whenever I need a little pep talk or some advice. Her involvement doesn’t just end when the course finishes.
Thank you so much Camilla.”
Everything she taught us makes perfect sense and really helps to understand your children and what they are (and aren’t) capable of at their age.
“We love Camilla! We were somewhat desperate by the end of the summer holidays and a brief conversation convinced me that she could help us. We had 5 sessions over which to learn the toolkit with her. Everything she taught us makes perfect sense and really helps to understand your children and what they are (and aren’t) capable of at their age.
Camilla is never preachy or judgemental, just kind and calm and funny. But not permissive!
Applying the tools learned requires effort and perseverance, and we certainly don’t always get it right. But we are no longer tearing our hair out just getting through the daily routines.
I feel far more understanding about how I communicate with my kids, and I feel closer to them. I’m also a bit wiser to interpret the root causes of tantrums and reactive behaviour, which really helps. And I’m better at staying outside the pit of despair!
Our 6 year-old made his bed and brushed his teeth without being asked this morning which is a miracle! I still want Camilla to come and live with us but since I guess that won’t happen, I’m so grateful we had the benefit of her expertise. Thank you Camilla! X”

You have brought calm into our house and I have 4 children under 8 so calm isn’t something I am used to!
“Thank you! We can’t stress this enough – thank you! You have brought calm into our house and I have 4 children under 8 so calm isn’t something I am used to!
We were trying, we’d read all the books but your course helped put the important points into focus and helped us realise out behaviour and response to our children’s normal behaviour was what needed to change.
‘Say What You See®’- such a simple concept has changed our life. Building our children up celebrating their positives instead of reminding them what they have done wrong. Camilla teaches through experience and example and explains how to achieve this even when your children are pushing all buttons and making you feel powerless she has the answer to regain the calm in the chaos without shouting, reward charts or threats!
I can’t recommend this course enough if you have children, are thinking about having children, work with children or are a grandparent this course is a must for you.”
It's been two weeks we've been back at school now, and not a single morning row has escalated.
But with the Camilla way firmly in my mind and a determination that my daughter’s day (and mine) would start without a huge row, I put her method’s into practice. It’s been two weeks we’ve been back at school now, and not a single morning row has escalated.”
We’ve gone from being a shouty house with threats being thrown around and being in constant battle with my 5 year old to a much calmer family life.
“We have just completed our 5 week 1-2-1 course with Camilla and wow the changes that have already taken place are wonderful!
We’ve gone from being a shouty house with threats being thrown around and being in constant battle with my 5 year old to a much calmer family life. The Language of Listening® method is so lovely and makes so much sense, we can now connect with our kids and listen to their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to make them feel what we think they should feel.
I’m so pleased we decided to sign up with Camilla as I really wanted to have a calmer family life and for my kids to feel good, to feel they are understood and to have a deeper connection with them.
We see this method as a method for life to raise independent, confident, happy children.
Camilla was really great to work with, professional, kind and knowledgeable. She was able to look at specific situations that were arising and give help us with those as well as general guidance. Since completing the course she has said to keep in touch and feel free to message her if need any help or a re-cap, which I think is so great to know we have her there and I’m sure we will take her up on it.
I’m so happy we took the plunge, if you are looking for help to create a happy, calm family life for you and your kids then I cannot recommend Camilla enough. Go for it!”
