Between them, they both work with a range of presenting conditions, including but not limited to adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol addiction, palliative care, grief and loss, and recovery from trauma.

Annual parenting course

In Spring Tiffani hosts an eight-week communication course for families, Parent Effectiveness Training. Previous participants unanimously say that the program is life changing.

“I feel like the luckiest person in the world to be shown a new way to communicate. The course has been a complete turning point in my relationships.” M. Ciavarella

“The course has softened our home environment and relationships and decreased my anxiety. Tiffani is like a warm hug. She is very genuine and well skilled.” K. Back

“The program has been life changing and I now feel confident that I wont fail as a parent. I’m happier, calmer, less resentful and our home life has improved. My husband and our friends have noticed that I am far less stressed. Tiff is absolutely wonderful.” D. Hajal

“This was a total game changer. I feel more empowered and less fearful of the teenage years (which are fast approaching). I have noticed a lot of changes in my personal and professional life and my son commented how close he feels to me. Also, my children beam when they solve their own problems.” R. McQueen

“Thank you for the amazing strategies. I feel much more confident about listening effectively and resolving conflict. Tiffani is a beautiful, funny and engaging instructor. Real life examples from her own family added a lot of understanding to the material.” Z. Hall

“Wonderful, eye opening techniques that are very practical. This should be compulsory for parents every three to five years.” G Hastie

“This is one of the best things I have ever done.” D. McKeown

“The course is life changing and incredibly positive. I’ve changed my relationships with my kids, husband, friends and clients. I’m incredibly grateful to have this opportunity, especially to do this with my husband.” B. O’Farrell

“I thoroughly enjoyed the program. My children keep telling me I have changed and they are happy about it! I am very sad that it is ending.” S. Steidl

“I was angry, shouting at my kids, sometimes smacking them. I’d then feel terribly guilty about it. I was depressed and lost, desperately searching for answers. The course gave me the answers, a framework to resolve the issues in all areas of my life. The course has enabled me to communicate my needs and feelings effectively. It was completely life changing.” C. Sinclair

“Such wonderful content and a gifted instructor made this one of the most powerful activities I’ve participated in. Tiffani is very inspiring, entertaining, confident and clear.”  J. Barham-Floreani
