Rebecca Sheikh
I am a certified Level 2 Aware Parenting Instructor and regional co-ordinator for the U.K. and Sub-Saharan Africa. My passion lies in helping parents and educators to find ways to discipline without the use of punishments or rewards. I am a mother to 2 children age 12 and 9, my greatest inspirations.
I completed an MA in Counselling in Education at The Tavistock Institute in London and have done a Foundation Course in Nonviolent Communication, the Hand in Hand Parenting professional intensive, and have an ONC certificate in gentle sleep methods. I lead workshops and support parents using the Aware Parenting approach, which is attachment focussed and trauma informed.
I am also passionate about supporting parents to heal on a deeper level and am an Inner Child Journeys Practitioner. I am currently training to be a sandplay therapist and recently qualified as a therapeutic play practitioner. I work on the executive council of The International Attachment Network. And am a Soul Collage Facilitator and training to be a Focusing practitioner.
