Hi, I’m Laura.

My daughter at the age of 11, started to refuse school.
She had always experienced big emotions from low frustration tolerance, explosive anger, shame and rejection sensitivity. 

Her deeply sensitive body was masked by defense.

We tried everything:
The latest holistic therapies.
Counselling and coaching.
Even looked into what might be going on neurologically.

It helped… a bit. But not for long.

Then one day, I asked a question that changed everything:

Was she really the one who needed fixing? Or was she just responding to her environment? 

I stopped treating her as the problem, outsourcing the fix. and started looking at what I was bringing to the table.

How can I ask my 11-year-old to hold it together when I can’t?
How could I expect her to feel safe when I didn’t?
How was I only just realising this?

This isn’t about blame. You’re a great parent.

It’s just that no one has shown you how to parent a deeply sensitive child, as a deeply sensitive parent.

Your child needs to feel safe in a different way.

And we weren’t taught this as kids.

When I stopped resisting her big emotions, she didn’t need them as much.
Her body changed in response to mine changing.
And now, at 14, she thrives.

We work with parents of children with:

Anxiety • ADHD • ASD • OCD • PDA • RSD • School Refusal • Explosive Anger • Emotional Dysregulation • And much more.

What these have in common:
Most of these presentations share the same root an underlying sensitive biology with a nervous system that is more reactive than average. When we reduce that reactivity at a biological level, rather than managing symptoms at the surface, real and lasting change becomes possible.

This is why the method works where other approaches haven't. It isn't designed around a diagnosis. It's designed around the biology underneath it.

What our parents say....

"Can I just say that as a cold water therapist and breathworker who already understands loads about the nervous system - that I have just completed the online self-led course and it really is transformational.  The work I do is transformational to others but for once I feel like this has been a lightbulb moment for me to benefit from with my own challenges at home with a neurodivergent 15yr old daughter that i now can see has been my trigger all along.

Thank you."

 

"I have enjoyed your course and have worked my way through the online content. It's the first thing that has ever resonated with what we have been going through the last year. I think I have a lot of work to do on myself and how I deal with everything. I do think a counsellor would help my daughter but I have realised that it is more to do with laying off demands and my own nervous system than counselling at this point"

 

"Hi Emma and Laura, firstly Thank You for setting up the Emotions Lab and being what myself and so may mother’s have needed for years. I’m hanging on every word as everything you say resonates so strongly. We have tried everything in the book, together or separately, all have had their value, but what you’ve put together is unique. It’s what I have needed for years. The short videos, the actual writing down of my own reactions or thinking styles. I could go on."

 

"Hello, today I finally listened to your online programme and it’s brilliant! I am learning as I go and yes main thing is that I need to be centred so I can support my kids without over reacting. I feel I kind of knew this but I wasn’t ready. Never did anything about it. It really is true that we only start changes when we are ready.
Anyway I am glad I bought it as I can go over it again and again. 🙏🙏"

  

"I have done so much research into my son's difficult behaviour and yet it has never been explained in such a straightforward way. I had no idea how to stop fixing his behaviour . I did not even know that I would be making it worse which I definitely have been! Thank you for sharing your knowledge."

This is for you if:

• You’re parenting an emotionally intense, sensitive, neurodivergent or easily overwhelmed child.

• The usual advice  talking, reasoning, consequences, reassurance  just isn’t shifting anything.

• You’re exhausted from firefighting the same patterns on repeat.

• You’re open to exploring your side of the dynamic, not because you’re the problem, but because it’s the part you can change.

• You want something real, honest and grounded  not theory written by someone who hasn’t lived it.

• You’re ready to lead your home differently, even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

• You want to absorb the method, start applying it at home, and go at your own pace.

If you’re thinking:

“I can’t do another day like this.”

You’re in the right place. 

This isn't for you if:

• You're looking for a quick fix.
• You want to change your child without looking at your own patterns.
• You're in immediate crisis or need clinical support.

What’s Inside The Leadership Method

We’ve taken everything we’ve lived, studied, practised and coached, from neuroscience to somatic regulation, EFT, IFS, lifestyle medicine and real-life parenting trenches and built a 5 module methodology to transform your parenting from the inside out.

Module 1 — Biology, Not Behaviour

Understand the stress response driving behaviour. Respond to what's underneath, not what's visible.

We begin by grounding you in the science. You'll reframe behaviour through biology and the stress response, moving away from blame and "fixing" and toward understanding what is actually driving behaviour. You'll start to see how stress is being created in your child's life, how it's maintained, and where difficult decisions may be required to reduce it.

Why you haven't found this before: Most parenting strategies are behaviouralist. They focus on the tip of the iceberg. We look at the thoughts, feelings and physiology driving behaviour — and that changes everything.

Module 2 — Dare to Lead

Drop rescuing and over-responsibility. Create emotional boundaries. Regulate before you respond.

This module explores the emotional patterns that keep replaying between you and your child, where they come from, and why you're pulled into familiar roles under pressure. You'll understand how past conditioning influences present parenting moments and begin identifying the patterns that keep stress alive in your family system.

Why you haven't found this before: Most programmes focus on changing your child. We focus on changing the emotional position you parent from — because children co-regulate through you.

Module 3 — Communicate Like a Coach

Listen properly. Stop fixing. Hold space without taking over. Support your child to think and problem-solve.

This module brings your growing awareness into real-life communication —both internally (how you speak to yourself) and externally (how you speak to your child). You'll learn how communication can either reduce or escalate the stress response, and how connection, tone, and presence matter more than words or solutions.

Why you haven't found this before: Most of us were never taught how to truly listen. We jump to advice or solutions which can unintentionally disempower our child and miss what's underneath their words. We teach you how to hear the emotion beneath the story and help them build their own capacity.

Module 4 — The Body First

Regulate fast harnessing physiology. Build long-term emotional capacity.

This module focuses on the fastest route to change: the body. You'll discover why the body responds before the mind and how simple physical shifts can change the entire dynamic, often without words. You'll learn how to recognise stress in your own body and how regulating yourself supports your child's regulation.

Why you haven't found this before: Most approaches try to reason with a child's underdeveloped brain which, when emotionally dysregulated, is effectively offline. We calm the body first, because logic only works once the stress response has reduced.

Module 5 — The ANCHOR Framework

In the final module, everything comes together in a clear, repeatable framework for moments that used to unravel you.
