Support for Dads
We know that being a dad when you’re no longer with your children’s mum—whether through separation, divorce, or bereavement—is incredibly hard.
You’ve got a new partner you love, children you care deeply about, and a real desire for everyone to feel safe, connected, and part of one family. But even with the best intentions, things don’t always run smoothly. Maybe there’s tension between your partner and your kids, maybe you’re navigating grief and the emotional fallout of the past, or maybe it’s just the relentless pressure of trying to keep everyone happy.
Whatever your circumstances, you are not alone. And choosing to seek support—so you can be the dad, partner, and man you want to be—is something we deeply respect.
We’re here to help you feel more confident in your role, strengthen the bonds in your family, and bring more ease to the relationships that matter most. Take a look at the different ways we can support you, so you can show up fully for your kids, your partner, and yourself.
Coaching
Katie's coaching for dads in step families provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore the unique and sometimes overwhelming responsibility of being both a loving, supportive partner and a present, caring father.
It’s not uncommon to feel stuck in the middle, between your children, your spouse, and even an ex-partner, each with their own needs and wants and emotions and each pulling in different directions.
Coaching helps dads reflect on the kind of partner, parent, and role model they want to be, offering practical tools to build trust, improve communication, and create a family environment that feels more united and grounded.
Showing up with clarity, empathy, and consistency is vital for the success of your relationships, both with your partner and children and coaching sessions will support you in doing that.
Workshops for Dads
Being a dad in a new relationship when your children’s mother is no longer your partner—or no longer here—can bring up a whole mix of emotions and challenges. You might be trying to keep everyone happy, avoid conflict, or just figure out how to make it all work. But when you’re caught between loyalty to your kids and commitment to your partner, it can feel like you’re constantly walking a tightrope.
This workshop is designed to support dads who want to strengthen their role in the family, improve communication, and feel more confident in how they show up for both their children and their partner.
Led by Katie, these small-group sessions offer a down-to-earth, non-judgemental space to connect with other dads who truly get it. There’s something powerful about being with men who know the weight of trying to juggle it all—the loyalty binds, the grief of loss, the conflict with an ex, the guilt, and the frustration. Together, you’ll realise you don’t have to carry this alone.
Through a mix of solo exercises, group conversation, coaching, and mentoring, you’ll explore what’s really going on beneath the surface—and start building a clearer path forward.
During the workshop, you’ll explore:
-
What your core values are and how they shape your parenting and relationship
-
How to support your children while building a healthy relationship with your partner
-
The pain of seeing your children struggle, and how to cope if they’re grieving, or being alienated by their mum
-
How to manage guilt and loyalty binds
-
How to create and maintain boundaries with your ex, your kids, and your partner
-
How to communicate clearly and confidently—even when it’s uncomfortable
-
How to feel more in control and less stuck
-
How to move forward with intention, not just reaction
Burying your head, crossing your fingers, and hoping for the best isn’t a plan—and it doesn’t bring the change you or your family need. This is your chance to take a step forward, with guidance and support, and start shaping a family life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected.
Spaces are limited to keep the group small and supportive, so reserve your place today.
Sam, Essex
Looking back, I was completely burying my head in the sand about the impact my ex was having on my new relationship. I was terrified she’d turn my kids against me, so I avoided conflict and never stood up for myself. Working with Katie helped me realise I could set boundaries without making things worse, and actually improve the time I spend with my children. I was sceptical about coaching at first, but it’s been a game-changer. I genuinely recommend Katie to any dads feeling stuck.
Alex, Dorset
Coaching was a last resort for me. I didn’t know what else to do. I just wanted everyone to get along, but I kept avoiding things, hoping they’d sort themselves out. My kids weren’t happy, my partner wasn’t happy, and I felt stuck in the middle. Working with Katie made me take a proper look at how I was showing up. She asked the kind of questions that really made me think. I started to see how I could make changes and show my kids they mattered without leaving my partner feeling sidelined. I wasn’t sure coaching would help, but I’m glad I gave it a go.
Josh, Northampton
After losing my wife, I was just trying to keep things steady for the kids. When I started a new relationship, I didn’t realise how much I was still carrying. Coaching with Katie helped me face some tough truths and find a way to support my kids while also being fair to my partner. It’s made a real difference.
