The Confident Parent Course FAQs

  • A 55-minute consultation with Dr Martha is £180. While keeping costs in mind, Dr Martha has created over 70 videos (more than four hours of content) to answer parents’ most frequently asked questions with actionable step-by-step strategies you can put into practice in your home right away. The course is supplemented with downloadable worksheets, prompts and scripts to give you that extra bit of guidance once you start putting things into practice. Unlike a membership, this is a one-off payment, which means you can watch at your own pace and revisit any sections when the time comes that you might find useful.

  • Both courses include 3–10-minute videos of talking content and practical role modelling of the strategies. This often involves Dr Martha showing you how to do something, not just telling you with words, so you can have a model of what things look like in practice.

    The Preschool Years course includes downloadable worksheets, prompts, and scripts and the School Years curse includes one downloadable workbook.

  • Instagram currently only allows for 250 words per post. There is SO MUCH more here, including seeing Dr Martha show you how to put suggestions into practice through role modelling, play, and physical actions you can witness.

  • The Preschool Years course was created for parents and carers of children aged 18 months – 5 years of age.

    The School Years course was created for parents and carers of children aged 5–10 years of age.

  • YES! This is a foundational course with skills to support you to build a confident toolkit of ideas to use with your child as they grow and develop in the early years. It’s never too early to start and because you will have unlimited access to the course, you can revisit any of the sections whenever you need them.

  • All children are unique and there isn’t always a ‘one fits all’ approach. While Dr Martha offers evidence-based ideas suitable for most 18-month – 5-year-olds, you may need to adapt some of the strategies to fit your child’s needs. There is room for adaptation and Dr Martha offers some suggestions throughout the course.

  • Dr Martha has a podcast Talking Sense where parents can submit questions relating to their child. To be a part of the podcast please send Dr. Martha a voice note or audio file with a question you would like her to answer to: podcast@drmarthapsychologist.com

    If you have a specific concern that you wish to discuss in more depth, please seek professional guidance face-to-face with a healthcare professional.

  • You have unlimited access to the courses while they are still purchasable. This means that you can revisit any of the content whenever you need to.

  • If you watch the Preschool Years course all in one go without a break the course is over four hours.

    However, the longest video is five minutes long, with most of them taking three minutes. Dr Martha is aware that parents are busy and have a lot to juggle which is why she has made this course into bite-sized snapshots that offer you a simple step-by-step guide without overwhelming you with information.

    The School Years course totals 108 mins and the longest video is ten minutes.

  • No. All videos are streamed only.

  • I have created pdfs to go with each chapter of the Preschool Years course, either offering prompts to guide you or small reminders to put your learning into practice.

    The Schools Years course includes a downloadable workbook for you to complete with your child.

  • At the moment the course is only available in streamable video format.

  • At the moment the courses are only available in English. Depending on demand I could translate the subtitles into Spanish and French. Get in touch if this would be useful to you (admin@drmarthapsychologist.com)

  • Some strategies are likely to work right away but that doesn’t mean your child’s behaviour will change overnight. Child development is messy and has lots of ups and downs. Finding out what works best for you and your child is a little trial and error and a lot of practice. You will see results over time and some days will feel easier than others. On the hard days don’t despair - it doesn’t mean it’s not working, it’s just a blip. You will get there.

  • Yes, all payments are taken via stripe. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.

  • We have used Stripe to take credit/debit card payments and they run a security check that goes by the term "payment intent" to encapsulate details about the transaction. If this happens when you are purchasing the course please don't worry. The right amount (£150 GBP) will be charged.
