Circle of Security Parenting

Lauren offers Circle of Security Parenting (COSP), an evidence-based program designed to strengthen secure attachment between parents and children. This approach supports parents to better understand their child’s emotional world, recognise and respond to attachment needs, and build confidence in their caregiving. The program provides a reflective, supportive space to deepen connection and reduce parenting stress, and is offered in group and individual formats throughout the year.
