Welcome to Clouds Away
Premiere Parent Coaching Ireland
Being a parent isn’t always easy. All families face challenges with parenting, especially in this modern age. We all want what’s best for our children but things aren’t always clear, or easy. What aspect of your parenting life could be better? How about a ‘wingman’- a professional that can listen to you and help you figure out how things could be easier and better, for you? Having the opportunity to confer with an experienced expert can be very helpful and reassuring.
You’ll be making a change for the better: moving from your current situation to your desired situation.
You’ll gain clarity and bring ease into your family. Coaching is a new and valuable experience- you owe it to
yourself to give it a chance. Since our lives can always be better, life’s too short not to try it!

Services
Coaching Services for Parents, Teenagers & Schools
Parent Coaching
I provide one-to-one parent coaching sessions (in person, over the phone & via Skype / FaceTime). During these sessions we, in partnership, explore what’s going well and identify where some changes could be helpful.
Teenage Coaching
I provide one-to-one teenage coaching sessions (in person, over the phone & via Skype / FaceTime). Together we
will identify a goal that you would like to achieve and through the coaching process, we’ll determine the steps
and supports necessary to attain it. This service requires parental consent, if under 18.
General Coaching
My coaching services are relevant for everyone because everyone can benefit from coaching. I provide one-to-one coaching sessions (in person, over the phone & via Skype / FaceTime). Together, we will examine and explore what you want, and how you can get it.
For Schools
I work with groups of parents, delivering coaching programmes in schools and pre-schools. These coaching programmes can be general in nature, or they can be tailored to address specific problems and issues, as needed.
Why is this programme a good idea for the parents of your school?
- Parents’ confidence and effectiveness will be increased.
- They will gain fresh perspectives & insights, providing them with new-found clarity.
- Parents can benefit from hearing other parents talking about their difficulties, helping to normalise their own experiences.
- Those attending this programme will become more engaged with the school and ultimately, such engagement will help to ensure that their child completes their education.
Testimonials
I engaged Trevor’s services as a Parent Coach to help me deal with my 8yr old whom had a lot of social anxiety, anger and decision making conflicts!…I can honestly say I found each session very productive and really worked on coming up with positive goals as we explored different ideas and thinking. I was apprehensive before starting but Trevor was a pleasure to work with.
Liz, Hairdresser & Parent
I was initially very sceptical of the benefits of coaching – I wrongly imagined it as a pep talk with lots of feel-good clichés and platitudes. Instead, it was a tremendously constructive process that helped me finish a project I had been putting off for a decade, while also helping me realize why I had been procrastinating for so long. I’m thankful for Trevor’s help and recommend him wholeheartedly!
Michael, Journalist & Parent
Trevor worked with parents who were struggling to keep their children on track and in school. I believe much of the success of our School Completion Project in the last school year was due to Trevor’s input. Parents felt a genuine connection to him. I will work with Trevor again in this academic year.
