Presented by Nicole Dorrington
Registered Psychologist & Director, PsychInMind.
For the past 5 years, Nicole has run this workshop to help parents nurture their children’s ability to connect with their emotions and learn how to regulate together while building strong, healthy relationships. She’s passionate about sharing practical strategies that parents can use every day to guide their children through big feelings with calm and compassion.
This workshop focuses on real-life parenting—understanding your child’s emotional world, tuning into their needs, and co-regulating to build skills for life. You’ll also reflect on your own emotional responses and feel more equipped to navigate tricky behaviours with calm, empathy, and connection.
Nicole’s approach is rooted in connection before correction, laying the foundation for resilience, self-awareness, and lasting relationships.
