Parenting & Family Coaching – for all families, with a special focus on LGBTQ+ parents

Parenthood brings both joy and challenges. With our parenting and family coaching, you’ll find guidance, support, and new impulses for your everyday life. We support all family constellations – with special expertise for LGBTQ+ parents and rainbow families.

How the Coaching Process Works

Parenting coaching is a process – structured yet flexible, and always tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Chemistry Call (optional, free, 15 min): A chance to see if we are a good fit. We’ll clarify basic questions about the framework, process, and fees.

  2. Kick-off Session (90 min): Define coaching goals, expectations, and roles. Build trust and structure.

  3. Panoramic Parenting Vision Session (90–120 min): Develop your family vision: relationships, resources, stress factors, strengths, and needs.

  4. Regular Sessions (90 min each): Work on topics such as communication, role distribution, mental load, transitions (e.g., preschool, school, adolescence), or specific family challenges.

  5. Check-ins & Reflection: Apply insights to everyday life and stay on track.

  6. Final Session (90 min): Celebrate progress, secure goals, and ensure transfer into daily life. Optional follow-up sessions after 3 or 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is coaching only for LGBTQ+ families?
No – I work with all parents openly and respectfully. My USP: unique expertise with LGBTQ+ and rainbow families.

What happens in the free 20-minute consultation?
We discuss where you are right now, what you need – and whether we’re a good match.

Can we attend coaching as a couple?
Yes – the intensive package is especially suited for couples.

I am trans or non-binary. Is this coaching for me?
Absolutely. Diversity is not only welcome – it’s part of my approach.

We are a co-parenting family with several caregivers. Can this work?
Yes. Multi-parent families are welcome, either together or individually.

Who I Am

Hi, I’m Martin – a parenting and family coach with a focus on modern and LGBTQ+ family realities.
My approach is based on the Child–Adolescent Development and Parenting (CADP) model and the standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF): evidence-based, systemic, attachment-focused, and practical.

As a dad-to-be, I know firsthand how challenging parenthood can be – especially in queer contexts. I support you professionally, empathetically, and on equal footing.


Coaching vs. Therapy vs. Consulting

 

  • Therapy treats mental health conditions and heals past wounds.

  • Counseling provides direct advice and solutions.

  • Parenting Coaching is future-oriented: together we develop strategies to empower you as a parent. I ask the questions – you find your answers.

 


Who is Parenting Coaching for?

My coaching supports you if you…

  • are preparing for parenthood, e.g., with a tailored coaching for expectant parents (through surrogacy, adoption, or blended families)

  • feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or insecure in your parenting role

  • as LGBTQ+ parents or a rainbow family want to feel seen and supported

  • want to strengthen communication and connection as a couple

  • are navigating co-parenting, blended family structures, or coming out as parents

  • as a father want to reflect on your role – including through an individual dad coaching
