About The Outdoor Social Worker
I am not about quick fixes - I am an advocate for you truly seeing your child and understanding what’s underneath their behaviour. With my years of clinical experience, I help you notice the patterns that shape your parenting, so you can move from reaction to calm, confident connection.
My name is Eily.
When I work with parents of young boys, I help them understand what’s really going on underneath their child’s behavior and what’s happening inside themselves, too. My 3-part approach helps you do this in a way that is easy to understand but has lasting impact.
First, we look at how your boy’s brain and body grow, so his big feelings start to make more sense. Then, we focus on building strong, safe connection - because that’s what helps him feel calm and secure. Finally, we explore your own story and the patterns that shape how you respond in tough moments.
This way of working helps you guide your boy with calm confidence, firm but kind boundaries, and more peace in your home
My Professional Background
I hold a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) from UNSW and advanced training in Family and Relationship Therapy from the UK. Before starting my Instagram account and private work, I spent years supporting families in hospitals, schools, and child protection - both in Australia and in London, where I worked closely with the gangs unit in Hackney.
It was there I saw how boys can feel so unseen, misunderstood, and alone that they look for belonging in places that aren’t safe - simply because those places make them feel noticed and accepted. That experience drives everything I do today.
In my private work, I help parents of young boys understand what’s really going on under their child’s behavior and their own reactions. My 3-part approach looks at how your boy’s brain and body grow, how connection builds safety, and how your own story shapes the way you guide him.
When parents understand these three pieces, they can respond with calm confidence - raising boys who feel safe, seen, and ready to thrive
At the heart of my coaching approach is one guiding belief:
the parent-child relationship is the most important thing in a child’s life.
Why Parent Coaching over Child Counselling?
A child might see a therapist once a week, but parents are there every day - and that’s where real change happens. My coaching is built around helping parents of young boys create the safe, steady environment their child needs to grow and thrive.
I combine my clinical background with a warm, practical approach that helps you see what’s really happening under your child’s behavior and your own reactions. Through my 3-part framework, we explore how your boy’s brain and body grow, how connection builds cooperation, and how your own story shapes the way you guide him.
When parents feel calm, confident, and supported, they can hold clear, gentle boundaries that meet both their child’s needs and their own. That’s where real connection and peace begin - right in the heart of your home.
