Customise your potty training approach with a one to one consultation.
Whether you want expert advice on where to start, support on potty training completion or you are struggling with a problem that you need to solve, a private consultation takes account of your particular situation and finds solutions tailored to your specific needs.
We will work with you to address whatever challenges you are facing, taking account of your unique child, your parenting style and your goals.
A private consultation includes:
- Around an hour of online consultation time with Rebecca or Alina, to discuss needs and agree a plan
- A written summary of your plan
- Additional written materials to support you, depending on your problem
- Letters to your child's doctor, school and/or nursery, if needed.
- An audio-recording of your consultation
- A digital copy of either the Baby Pottying Guide or the Potty Training Guide to compliment what we have focussed on in the session.

Hi, I’m Rebecca
I'm a children's nurse, potty learning consultant and parent of two and I know that potty training doesn't always run smoothly.
I will help you work with your child in a way that respects their natural development and is in line with attachment parenting principles. I will teach you gentle play-based approaches to help you connect with your child and build your confidence.
Hi, I’m Alina
I have supported hundreds of parents with potty training through working as expert helpline advisor to ERIC, The Children’s Bowel & Bladder Charity for over a decade.
I have first-hand experience of my youngest child struggling with stool withholding and toilet refusal as a toddler and I will help you overcome any kind of wee and poo challenge!
Potty training nightmare?
We are here to help. We have supported thousands of parents like you to help their children reach toilet independence and overcome challenges such as:
- Potty fear and anxiety
- Potty resistance and refusal (including challenging behaviour)
- Accidents and regression
- Night time wetting
- Holding and constipation
- Learning disability, neurodiversity including autism.
Solving challenges like these means addressing the problem at two levels: the behaviour you see and the underlying causes. This means using practical, 'in the moment' strategies as well as considering developmental drivers and needs, your child's unique temperament, age and stage.
Our approach
We use creative strategies and play-based approaches to help you work through the issues with your child, in accordance with your parenting ethos. This goes way beyond simple fixes such as reward/star charts etc, because research shows they are not effective tools for solving potty training challenges. Instead, we will help you work with your child in a way that respects their natural development and is in line with attachment parenting principles and the current research-evidence base around potty training. We will teach you gentle approaches to help you connect with your child and build your confidence.
