Pamela Quiery
Hand in Hand Certified Instructor
Belfast, Northern Ireland & Sligo, Ireland
I’m Pamela. Parent coach, Mum of two and Host of the How to Parent Peacefully podcast.
Once, my kids’ big feelings ran the house. Tantrums. Tears. Chaos. And me? Overwhelmed. Doubting myself. Wondering if I was failing.
Then I found Hand in Hand Parenting. It changed everything. Calm replaced chaos. Connection replaced conflict. I trained as an instructor so I could help other parents find the same relief.
I’m also trained in Compassionate Inquiry, Dr Gabor Maté’s method for understanding emotional patterns.That means I help parents get to the root of their triggers, meet themselves with compassion, and respond, not react.
I hold a Masters in Public Health, so my coaching isn’t just heartfelt, it’s evidence-based. I blend neuroscience, trauma awareness, and practical tools to help parents handle big emotions, set clear limits, and build lasting connection.
I see the best in parents even when they can’t. I help them swap self-criticism for confidence so they can become their own steady, encouraging ally.
I support families across Ireland, the UK, and worldwide through courses, groups, and one-to-one coaching. Parenting is messy. But it can also be joyful, playful, and connected.
If you want more calm, connection and confidence at home, I’d love to support you.
I especially love supporting parents of strong-willed, highly sensitive children with big emotions.
