Christine has a special interest in working and supporting parents, foster carers and the wider professional network primarily to develop awareness and understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. Non-violent practices are both forgiving and compassionate and allow us all to achieve a way of being within ourselves and with our children despite the often distressing challenges of parenthood.
