Alison Dougan is the Founder of Hope Consulting & Counselling, Parenting Coach, Trauma Recovery specialist, Speaker and Author/Creator of Journals, Planners, Notebooks, Parenting Workbooks and courses.
I work with parents, particularly women, dissatisfied with their parenting capability - especially those raising children with additional needs and/or developmental trauma.
Alison strongly believes that the only person behaving in a childish way should be the child. The adults need to be adulting. The challenge facing many parents is they are unsure how to parent in a way that works for them and honours the growth and development of their children. This is even more crucial for children with additional needs. All children will develop in a sequential, step by step, way and our role as parents is to actively guide, support and cherish them. It is Alison's experience that this happens when parents are supported in being the adult, given the knowledge and tools to do this in ways that allows the whole family to thrive.
When Alison is not creating, mentoring or individually counselling she is busy raising her 5 additional needs children as a sole parent. This is where Alison gained the lived experience of parenting and was the catalyst to grow her knowledge, skills and Certifications to share with other parents. This continues every day to learn more and do more.
Alison creates beautiful journals, planners and notebooks for a wide audience as well as specific materials for parents. Alison's Self Nurture Guides are popular with a range of parents who struggle under the weight of their daily demands to find time for themselves.
