Big Transitions
What we know
Early transitions are emotionally loaded for children and parents. Separation anxiety, disrupted routines, sleep regressions, and changed behaviours are common. Sensitive, predictable transitions foster resilience (Bowlby, Ainsworth, Zeanah). Returning to work or starting childcare can trigger grief, guilt, and confusion in parents if the emotional side is ignored in favour of logistics.
What I bring
My work is rooted in attuned transitions. I help families prepare not just practically, but emotionally — from preparing children for nursery to introducing caregivers and supporting parents as they redefine their role after maternity leave. My background in infant mental health supports both generations through change.
How I can help you
If you’re anxious about going back to work or unsure how your child will cope with a new setting, I’ll help you create a plan that’s grounded, gradual, and emotionally informed. We’ll prepare your child, handle goodbyes, manage regressions, and support your own adjustment. Transitions don’t have to feel like tearing — they can be bridged with intention, clarity, and care.
What parents say
“Kremi helped our family prepare, manage the adjustment period, and support secure attachment during times of separation or disruption. Her guidance was not only compassionate and practical but also grounded in real understanding of my child’s needs.”
“I could sound out ideas with her, and she would also have plenty of her own, always without a trace of judgment. Her sympathetic, empowering approach made me feel understood and capable, even on the toughest days.”
