Learn how to bring more calm connection into your parenting
Parenting isn’t always easy. Some days feel calm and connected, while others leave you overwhelmed, wishing you had more tools to support your child’s emotions and behaviour.
​
Accessing professional help often means long waitlists, high costs, or services that simply don’t fit into your family’s life.
​
That’s why we’ve created our online workshops for parents, designed by experienced play therapists, based in research, and full of practical strategies you can use right away.
Why these workshops exist
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sitting alongside incredible children and families here in Perth. In the playroom, we explore feelings, make sense of behaviours, and build tools for everyday life.
​
But again and again, parents shared the same wishes with me:
​
✨ “I wish I could go back and re-watch what we talked about.”
✨ “I want my partner to hear this too.”
✨ “We need something we can learn from at our own pace.”
​
These workshops were created to meet that need, a resource you can revisit and apply whenever it works for your family.
Parent workshop topics include
Together We Grow: Gentle, practical strategies to support children with high autonomy needs and a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance or Persistent Drive for Autonomy) profile.
This workshop shares practical, easy-to-try ideas that can reduce stress, build connection, and help you collaborate with school, while staying grounded in your child’s sense of safety.

Beyond the Meltdown: Discover what’s really behind big behaviours and learn practical tools to respond with calm, confidence, and connection.
OPTIONAL BONUS ADD-ON: Mapping the Meltdown, a personalised 1:1 parent session with Evonne Jones, where you're supported to apply the learnings from Beyond the Meltdown to map your child’s triggers, learn calming strategies, and develop a confidence plan, tailored to your family’s daily life.

Transforming child parent relationships- A playful, story-based approach to strengthening parent–child connection through structured therapeutic play from the comfort of home.
Created by Play Therapist and Developmental Educator Verity, this playful, story-based series uses metaphor and visual storytelling to help parents and carers strengthen connection through structured therapeutic play. Across six self-paced modules, you’ll learn how to set up meaningful playtimes at home, follow your child’s lead, and build confidence, both theirs and yours, through the power of play.
