About The Outdoor Social Worker
This isn’t about quick fixes - it’s about truly seeing your child and noticing the patterns that shape your parenting. With years of clinical experience, this work helps you understand why moments feel hard so you can respond from awareness, not automatic reaction.
My name is Eily.
What makes this private 1:1 coaching different is my blend of practical guidance with my clinical understanding. Together, we explore your own story and inner patterns to understand how they shape your parenting, especially in the tough moments.
Parents gain clarity not just on what to do, but on how to respond with confidence and care and in doing so growing themselves so they can better support their children.
This work is grounded in the belief that warm connection, paired with clear, attuned boundaries, is what helps sensitive young children truly thrive and brings peace to the whole family.
My Professional Background
With a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) from UNSW and advanced training in Family and Relationship Therapy from the UK, my work is deeply informed by years spent supporting families through real challenges, both in London’s frontline child protection settings and here in Australia.
My coaching helps parents of young children understand how their own histories shape their parenting, not just which strategies to try.
Lasting change happens when parents feel safe to explore their reactions, grow themselves, and respond with care to both their child’s emotions and their own. That’s how families find real connection and peace.
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 may see a therapist perhaps once a week (if they’re lucky) whereas a coach works their parent/s who are with the child 24/7. It’s the parents who shape the environment around the child which is where the magic happens.
My coaching helps parents of young kids see how their own stories shape their parenting, not just which strategies to try.
This work combines my clinical experience and knowledge with genuine connection, guiding you to hold gentle boundaries that truly meet your child’s needs.
Lasting change comes when parents feel safe to explore their reactions, grow, and respond with care to both their child’s feelings and their own. That’s where real connection and peace begin.
