Ok, but who are you? 

Why should I trust you?

Hi, I'm Anouk Brière-Godbout! 👋

I support parents of "emotionally intense kids" for whom nothing in the “general parenting advice” seems to work.

I have a Master's degree in Social Work,

I've been supporting parents for more than 16 years 

and I've been the mom of 3 (wonderful) emotionally intense kids for just as long.

I now have the chance to work with you, parents of emotionally intense kids, those who are great, sweet, intelligent, curious kids (most of the times) but who also feel everything deeply and react explosively. 

I am sure you already know everything there is to know about parenting and raising kids and want the best for your children... and for you! Things are just not working and nobody really gets you (or even believes you!)

My goal is to support you to understand your child's needs, recognize your strengths and use them, clean up all the information and social pressure and refocus on yourselves and your children to make your family decisions

because you are the only real expert of your child!

"I had a one hour private session with Anouk and it was fantastic!

Anouk has a great mixture of being approachable, down-to-earth and professional. She is very intuitive and knowledgeable and had great practical tips for me to tackle the challenges I am experiencing with my 2 children.

I would highly recommend a session with Anouk. She had insight which I had not ever even contemplated myself.

Thanks so much Anouk!"
