Conflict is a natural part of everyday family life, but how we express ourselves during these moments can have a lasting effect. In this webinar, we will explore the language used in family conflicts through a linguistic analysis of common statements, highlighting the difference between communication that strengthens connection versus communication that creates gaps in understanding and closeness. We will also start with a foundation in Emotional Intelligence (EI), examining how a parent’s EI influences their child’s emotional development and shapes their ability to navigate conflict.
Thank you Vanessa for your help in providing wonderful online speech therapy support - parental coaching sessions for my son. We are extremely delighted with the outcome of the strategies you've shared with me especially the way you understand about my son's current state of mind and the tailored intervention techniques you suggest. I would recommend your online parental coaching sessions to the parents who are seeking help in assisting speech for their children with speech delays. I would give you a 5 star rating and keep on the good work. Many parents need your support.

I started seeing Vanessa when my almost-four-year-old has suddenly developed a stutter that heightened when he’s excited. She started training me on the Lidcombe Programme through teletherapy. Vanessa is excellent and has been a great help. She is very competent and organized, and continues to provide support during and after each session; she models the techniques for me while playing with my child during the session, gives me feedback on how I implemented the technique during the sessions, provides me with weekly goals and activity options to play outside the session environment, and checks with me on progress at the start of each session. Vanessa is also very friendly; my son is excited to meet her via Zoom every week and responds well to her. Her excitement about his progress in the sessions is so genuine; she truly cares about her clients. We were lucky to have Vanessa in our life.

I am so grateful to Vanessa for helping my child with her developmental speech delay. My daughter has come a long way since we started seeing Vanessa last year. She uses full sentences now and her speech intelligibility has noticeably improved. I can’t imagine where we’d be without this intervention. It has helped my child’s confidence so much and has taken away a lot of the frustration she used to feel when talking. Vanessa worked with my daughter weekly when she was in Dubai, and due to the excellent quality of the therapy she provided and how much my daughter loves her, we decided to continue with teletherapy. Having tried both, I can say with confidence that teletherapy with Vanessa offers as much quality and benefit as in-person therapy. I watched every session during teletherapy as I had to be present with the child. This has given me the chance to witness how amazing Vanessa is; she is very positive during every session, she is focused yet flexible and uses the child’s interest to her benefit, and she’s so friendly and treats the child as her own. Thank you, Vanessa, for all your hard work and effort.

A true and hardworking professional who enjoys her work. I had the pleasure of using Vanessa’s services as a kid’s speech therapist. I was impressed by her effortless and energetic approach with kids. Vanessa always uses different techniques in each session to maintain the kid’s interest and enthusiasm. My kid looks forward to the sessions and takes pride in showing Vanessa his progress. I highly recommend Vanessa’s services.
