As well as a certified Parenting Coach I am also a qualified VIG Practitioner, I have practiced VIG for several years, during that time I have worked with hundreds of clients with a 100% success rate. I love being with parents and supporting them through their VIG journey.

What is VIG?

Video Interaction Guidance is a strengths-based, brief (usually 6 weeks), intervention that promotes attunment, sensitivity, and mentalization in relationships. The principles and practice can be used to work within any relationship.
VIG is effective with parents and carers of children across all ages (including babies and unborn babies).

What will happen?

I will meet with you, either in person or via zoom to discuss what matters to you as a parent.  Together we will discuss what you would like to focus upon in the sessions and what you would like to achieve. I will help you to negotiate a ‘helping question’ this will be linked to your goal: for example: “what am I doing to build a closer relationship with my child?” You will have time to ask questions and will be asked to complete a consent form.

VIG is client-centred: moving at the client’s pace, with their goals in mind. Each cycle of VIG includes 1 video and 1 shared review. I will take a video of a few minutes of interaction between you and your child, I will then microanalysis the video, editing it to create ‘clips’ of attuned moments. We will then explore the clips together in the ‘shared review‘.

It is whilst exploring the clips together where will notice and build on your strengths and co-create new ideas of being. I will engage you actively in a process of change, supporting the you to realise your own hopes for a better future in your relationships.

How Does VIG Work?

VIG highlights and builds on attuned moments in interaction.

Clients are supported by a VIG practitioner to view and reflect together on strengths-based micro-moments of video.
Clients are asked: ‘What is it that you are doing that is making a difference?’ Through this process of active engagement and reflection, clients become aware of, and build on, their skills in attunement.

VIG is powerful and emotionally moving, client’s voice their surprise and pleasure in what they see.

What parents say about VIG?

VIG helped me to see that I am a good mum and my child likes being with me. I play an important part in his growth.

VIG helped me to understand what a responsive parent looks like and how responding to my baby is good for her happiness and wellbeing.

VIG helped the relationship with my child grow in strength and I know it will just keep getting stronger because I know now what I am doing that supports attunment in our relationship.

I feel much more confident as a parent since completing VIG, it has made me a happier parent, less anxious and worried about whether I’m getting it right or not. Its great to see the things you are doing right and celebrate those with my VIG guider.

Taking part in VIG has given me pride in myself as a parent, I didn’t know I did so much for my daughter.

It has helped me to see the good things I am doing so that I can do more of that.

Each VIG cycle will be priced at £150. This includes the editing of videos to be shown at the shared review. The usual recommendation is 3 cycles.
