Hi, I'm Paula Watson and have worked supporting families and children for over twenty-five years. This includes working as a Parent Educator, one-to one parent coaching, mentoring young people and adults. My experience also includes providing leadership development, mentoring and coaching.
I have a passion to see each person reach their full potential, to develop healthy strong relationships with the people they care about and to be the best version of themselves they can be.
My qualifications include a Diploma of Community Services and a Diploma of Ministry and Theology. I am an accredited Parent Educator with Circle of Security Parent Program, 123 Magic and Emotion Coaching, and Turning in to Kids Parent Program. I have raised two beautiful adult daughters and have lived and worked in the Newcastle region for over twenty years.
Parenting can be one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences in our life. There is no one book or website that provides all the answers, and sometimes our past experiences have not prepared us for the challenges of being a parent.
I have over 20 years experiences working with families and children and am a trained parent educator in programs such as Circle of Security, 123 Magic and Emotion Coaching, Tuning in to Kids, Triple P and others. I have supported families through times of change, unexpected stress and just 'doing life'.
One-to-One Coaching
I can assess your family's needs to provide you with a plan that will help develop a strong parent/child bond and provide strategies to manage challenging behaviours. My goal is to support your family to be a calm, happy, environment for everyone.
Parenting Programs
I am available to facilitate parent programs for a group of five or more participants. If you or your school/organisation would like to book me to facilitate one of the following courses, please contact me.
Are you feeling stuck in your relationships, career or sense of purpose? Sometimes it is challenging to see your current challenges from a different perspective and that can leave you feeling hopeless and overwhelmed..
As a mentor, I am not here to tell you what to do. Through reflective listening, I will support you to identify negative thinking patterns, strengthen your communication skills and ascertain your passions and goals.
Discovering your personality type, your strengths and areas of growth, we will work together towards developing strategies, that will enable you to feel more empowered, confident and in control of your own life.
