KIM DeMARCHI

Warm, supportive, curious and compassionate; helping parents strengthen connections with their children.

​​

Kim is an exceptional parenting coach with over 30 years’ experience supporting parents, children and families. Her approach is warm, compassionate and deeply respectful. She understands just how demanding parenting can be — emotionally, mentally and practically.

​

Kim works with parents across all stages of family life, from toddlers to teens and young adults. She helps parents make sense of their child’s behaviour and emotional world, offering guidance that is grounded in connection, trust and mutual respect. Her coaching is particularly supportive for parents navigating anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm, stress, burnout, school refusals or neurodiversity within the family. She appreciates that parenting challenges are rarely just “behavioural” — they are often rooted in a child’s internal experience and their relationship with those around them.

​

Kim is guided by the principle of “connection before correction.” She helps parents understand what lies beneath a child’s words, actions or silence, and works collaboratively to strengthen communication and emotional safety at home. Parents often say they feel less alone, more confident and more grounded after working with her, even when facing complex or distressing situations.

​

Alongside her clinical work, Kim has spent many years supporting teachers and educators, developing parenting programmes and teaching workshops internationally. Originally from Los Angeles, she has been a regular contributor on US daytime television, has written articles for national newspapers and hosted a highly regarded podcast series on parenting. She has also raised twins herself, giving her invaluable lived experience and empathy for the daily realities families face.

​

Kim works sensitively across a wide range of issues, including:

​

• Anxiety, low mood or emotional overwhelm in children or teens

• Neurodiversity (including autism and ADHD)

• Sibling conflict and family communication difficulties

• Behaviour that feels challenging or confusing

• School pressures, transitions and academic stress

• Parent burnout and confidence concerns

• Co-parenting, blended families and family system change

 

Kim's style is thoughtful, steady and empowering.

 

She listens deeply, focuses on strengths, and provides practical, realistic strategies that help parents and children feel more connected, understood and secure. Kim aims to help every parent feel they can respond to their child with clarity and compassion, and to support families in building relationships that can withstand life’s challenges.

Kim's sessions are all held online.
