COMPASS is a 6-month group programme for parents of strong-willed teens who feel like they’re walking on eggshells, losing connection, or quietly panicking about their child’s mental health.

Through bite-sized learning, weekly live support, and a community that truly gets it, you’ll rebuild trust, restore calm, and reconnect with your teen, without bribes, threats, or endless arguments.

We tackle the three biggest struggles parents tell me about:

  • No more walking on eggshells – feel confident and calm even in difficult moments.

  • Easing the fear for their mental health – understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and how to support them without losing yourself.

  • Rebuilding connection that lasts – create a new way of parenting that strengthens trust, respect, and emotional safety.

You’ll leave knowing exactly how to handle the rough moments, repair after the inevitable bumps, and guide your teen from a place of grounded confidence, so you can stop holding your breath and start feeling like yourself again.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Nicki Saunders

I’m a counsellor, clinical supervisor, and published author dedicated to empowering parents. 

Growing up in the ’70s with emotionally unavailable parents, I knew I wanted a different path for my own family. Recognising the patterns from my childhood, I worked hard to break those cycles, shaping my parenting approach with intention and love. My aim is to help you to do the same, for you to be able to look back on your relationship with your children and be proud of the connection you have built.

In December 2024, I released my debut book, Who Made You The Milk Police, sharing practical strategies to prevent parental burnout and master stress-free parenting.  

I advocate that prevention is far better than cure. Having spent my whole career in the cure arena, I have developed a wealth of insight and experience into what works and doesn't work in the parenting world and how influential our childhood is on who we become.

Embracing change is essential for preparing our children for what lies ahead, and I cannot wait to work with you on your journey.
