I've Seen How Much Parenting Has Changed
Over 12 years in education, I've watched parents become more stressed than ever. They're not just being blamed for their children's screen time — they're expected to be IT experts overnight. Knowing what a VPN is. How Discord works. Every parental control app. Every streaming service. Netflix, Disney+, Prime — each with their own settings to configure.
It's exhausting. And I realised: what if there was a way to help families actually connect through technology, rather than be torn apart by it?
I understand technology's power because I've lived it. It took me to great heights — teaching myself photography and shooting for top London agencies, building a YouTube channel with 2 million views in the first year, learning business skills that changed my life.
But I also struggled with technology. Gaming took over. Social media consumed my time. Feeling like I was two people — disconnected from my family even though I loved them. I know both sides.
The Digital Balance Method
This isn't just theory — it's the same method I used on myself. It helped me identify my own bad habits, understand why I couldn't stop gaming, and eventually led to diagnosing my own ADHD.
"I realised I'd been fighting myself for years. Once I understood how my brain worked with technology, everything changed. Now I help families find that same clarity."
Why Most Screen Time Advice Doesn't Work
Parents are told to "set limits" and "use parental controls" — but that's surface-level advice. Real change requires understanding how everything connects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with a screen time coach
How quickly will I see results?
Most families notice significant improvements within 2-3 weeks. Some see changes within 48 hours. The key is implementing the personalised strategies consistently-which is much easier with expert guidance and accountability.
What if my child is severely addicted to gaming?
Gaming addiction requires specialized strategies that go beyond simple time limits. I'll assess the severity, create a gradual reduction plan, and help you understand the psychology behind the addiction. We've successfully helped families where children were gaming 6+ hours daily.
Do you physically come to our home?
All coaching is done remotely via video calls, making it convenient for families anywhere in the world. This is just as effective as in-person sessions and means time zones are the only limitation.
What devices do you support?
All of them. iPhone, iPad, Android phones/tablets, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Windows PCs, Chromebooks, and routers. If your child can access the internet on it, I can help you secure it.
Is this just about setting time limits?
Absolutely not. While parental controls are one tool, effective screen time management involves understanding your child's relationship with technology, creating engaging alternatives, addressing underlying issues, and building healthy digital habits that last.
What if my partner disagrees with me about screen time?
This is extremely common. I'll work with both parents to find strategies you can both agree on. Consistency between parents is crucial for success, and I'll help you get on the same page.
My teenager says they need their phone for school. What do I do?
Valid concern. We'll distinguish between educational and recreational use, set up proper boundaries that don't interfere with schoolwork, and create monitoring systems that respect their growing independence while keeping them safe.
How is this different from reading parenting books?
Books give generic advice. I provide personalised strategies for YOUR specific situation, hands-on technical support, accountability, and ongoing guidance as challenges arise. Plus, you'll actually implement it (most parenting books stay on the shelf).
What's included in the free consultation?
We'll discuss your specific challenges, I'll assess your situation, and provide immediate actionable advice you can implement tonight. You'll walk away with value even if you decide not to continue. No high-pressure sales pitch-just genuine help.
