Parent of 2 Children (Aged 7 & 10) divorce, managing tricky transitions in family life

“With Nayyar’s coaching, I felt supported and found gentle ways to help my children through a difficult time.”

full testimonial: “As an individual going through a challenging situation within our family, I was able to support myself but as a parent, I also focused on the well-being of my children and was conscious that I needed to be properly equipped to provide them with the right support. Having assessed the different services available, it felt right to select a professional with extensive and demonstrated experience of working with children to achieve a positive impact. Nayyar’s approach was very thoughtful, guiding me to identify the real underlying challenges and crystallise exactly where I needed targeted support, all in a manner that was respectful to the situation. It was a useful starting point that led to a discussion centred on potential approaches to support the children, their benefits, how to access those tools, and—importantly—how to use them in a way tailored to our situation.

Through the sessions, I was able to develop a set of parental tools that supported my children’s well-being, giving me the confidence to manage them effectively through a challenging change in their circumstances. The sessions with Nayyar were instrumental in shaping my approach—informing how I structured the support, the way it was delivered, and even the terminology I used. I would confidently say that Nayyar’s coaching was transformative, enabling my children to view a difficult situation as a natural and positive progression in their lives. My own parenting approach has subtly evolved as a result of the coaching, and I’ve been able to share what I’ve learned with other families and even the children’s teachers in pastoral roles. I would not hesitate to recommend Nayyar as a Coach to any individual or parent facing a challenge. If you’re unsure of what to do next but know you need support, Nayyar Coaching is the perfect starting point on your journey. I can confidently say that the coaching I received had a lasting and positive impact on the quality of life for both me and my children, and I am eternally grateful for that support.”

“In addition to all these qualities, Nayyar is a positive and delightful person to work with. She is supportive in every sense of the word, reflective of her own practice and always willing to assist in the learning process of others.”

“As a member of the Early Years Team, Nayyar works with enthusiasm and always performs to a high standard. She has been involved in the IY parenting programme since Dec 09 when she was trained with Professor..Judy Hutchings. She has delivered several IY parenting programmes 2 of which I have acted in facilitator/co-facilitator role with her. She has a sound grasp of the content and delivers it skilfully and with remarkable judgement to the skills, abilities and needs of the parent group. She shows a strong personal as well as professional commitment to their progress and achieves a high level of success as demonstrated by the very positive parental evaluations of the course and the clear evidence of reported change during the sessions. In addition to all these qualities, Nayyar is a positive and delightful person to work with. She is supportive in every sense of the word, reflective of her own practice and always willing to assist in the learning process of others. She is an asset to the IY Team in the Educational Psychology Service.”
