Bespoke Parenting Workshops Thinking together to enhance parenting skills
Linda Hafez and the NVR Companion App
Our founder, Linda Hafez, is the world's leading developer of NVR app programmes. After more than a decade bringing Non-Violent Resistance to families, schools and CAMHS, she created the NVR Companion app so that parents can carry the tools in their pocket and put them into practice every day.
The app is designed to work hand in hand with our bespoke NVR programme. The workshops give you the understanding and the personal support, while the app keeps the tools alive from week to week — long after the group room. It is free to download on iPhone and Android, with an optional premium section that unlocks the full set of tools.
Linda will be presenting the NVR Companion app at the NVR UK Conference at Liverpool Hope University on 25 June 2026.
Our Journey in Parenting Programs
Hello and welcome! Firstly, it is important to know that this is about empowering parents and sharing knowledge. Your child is an individual, and you are the person living in the situation. It is key to have a supportive, reflective place to develop strategies. We started the journey of parenting programs 10 years ago with training and certification in NVR (Non-Violent Resistance) facilitation with CAMHS. We were committed to making this parenting program available in schools. Once we achieved this, we developed a bespoke roadmap parenting program tailored to parents' and children's needs. All families and the ways the system develops are different, guiding parents through the transformative journey over 6 weeks. We specialise in fostering stronger, healthier family relationships through innovative and empathetic approaches.
Core Philosophy: NVR Parenting Program
The core of our practice is the NVR parenting program, a revolutionary approach rooted in the principles of identifying one issue at a time, originally developed by Dr. Haim Omer. This program offers a set of techniques; it's a philosophy that empowers parents to overcome certain child behaviours through presence, persistence, and non-escalation.
Understanding Anxieties and Consistency
We also help parents understand their children's anxieties and how this may play out in physical sensations. We identify what impacts consistency.
The 6-Week Program
In our 6-week program, parents learn to apply these principles through practical tools and strategies. Each session is individualised for the support you need. Parents are equipped to navigate challenging behaviours confidently, maintain their own well-being, and foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding.
Our Approach as Psychotherapists
As psychotherapists with a background in schools, young people, and families, we blend academic knowledge with real-life application. Our approach is tailored to meet the unique needs and dynamics of each family, ensuring that every participant gains the most from the NVR philosophy.
