Ready for a calmer happier family life?

Welcome to Connective Family,

Providing the 'Harbour Walls' for families and the professionals who support them.

Who are you looking to support today?

I'm a Parent or Carer

Whether you’re navigating child-to-parent violence, emotional based school avoidance, past trauma, the unique needs of a neurodivergent child or anything else, you’re not alone.

You don't have to parent in the storm alone. From our supportive Membership Hub and Live Intro Courses to 1:1 Coaching, we provide the tools and the "village" you need to move from crisis back to connection.

I am a Professional

Do you support families in education, social services, or private practice?

The work you do is vital, but it’s also heavy. Join our Professionals Network for reflective supervision, or gain your Level 1 or Level 3 Connective Parenting NVR Accreditation with our expert training team.

Let us support you, so you can support them.

What is Connective Parenting NVR?

Whether you are a parent at your wits' end or a professional looking for better tools, you might be wondering: How is this approach different?

Connective Parenting NVR is a trauma-informed, relationship-first framework. It empowers you to respond to challenging behaviours with calm, confidence, and compassion.

Rooted in the principles of Non-Violent Resistance, we move away from traditional "power struggles" and "consequences" that often backfire. Instead, we focus on building Connection over Control. It’s about strengthening the relationship, reducing conflict, and bringing hope back to the heart of family life.

Led by Experience. Driven by Connection.

At Connective Family, we don’t just teach theory. Led by Sarah Fisher, our team of practitioners - Kelly, Bethan, and Kat, along with our associate team - have lived and worked on the front lines of education, social services, and youth offending. We are also parents ourselves.

We work with families with a diverse range of needs, and will not offer you 'one size fits all' solutions.  We work collaboratively with you using our Connective Parenting framework, to support you in reducing any challenges you may have and support your family to thrive.

We also provide support to organisations, training staff teams and running courses for families they are supporting.  Please get in touch to find out more about how we can work together.

We lead like the Elephant: We don't need to roar to show our strength. We lead through presence, protection, and a massive, steady heart.
