Are You A Single Parent In Ireland? I Can Help.

As of 2025, nearly one in four children in Ireland come from a lone parent household, which is significantly higher than the EU average. So if you’re heading one of the many single parent households, you’re not alone! But that doesn’t mean you may not feel it sometimes. 

As a single parent coach, I understand the complexities you face daily. From managing work-life balance to dealing with financial pressures and emotional stress, the role of a single parent is undoubtedly one of the hardest jobs there is. But it's also one of the most rewarding, and with the right support, you can thrive in this role. I am not only a single parent myself, but I have made it my ambition to help empower others to thrive in this challenging role.

How Coaching Can Empower Single Parents in Ireland

Single parent coaching is not just about parenting advice; it's about empowering you to create a fulfilling life for both you and your children. Originally from Ireland, I am now living in London, but I am available for online coaching to help you to reach your full potential as a single parent. So, how can I help? Here's how coaching can make a difference:

Time Management Mastery

As a single parent, you're likely juggling multiple responsibilities. Coaching can help you develop effective strategies to balance work, parenting, and personal time, reducing stress and increasing productivity.

Financial Security

Understanding and accessing the benefits available to single parents in Ireland is crucial. From the One-Parent Family Payment to the Increase for a Qualified Child, there are various supports available. As your coach, I can not only signpost your options, but empower you to utilise them.

Emotional Wellbeing

Single parenting can sometimes feel isolating. Coaching provides a supportive environment where you can express your concerns and work through emotional challenges as you hit them. We'll focus on building your resilience and confidence, essential traits for single mums and dads.

Self-Care Strategies

It's easy to neglect your own needs when you're focused on your children. However, self-care is crucial for your wellbeing and, by extension, your children's. We'll work together to incorporate self-care into your routine without guilt.

Support Networks for Single Parents in Ireland

While coaching provides personalised support, it's also important to be aware of the broader support network available for single parents in Ireland. 

One Family: A national organisation offering counseling, legal advice, and support groups. onefamily.ie

Frolo: An online support group where you can connect with other single parents. frolo.com

Parents Plus: A government-run program providing parenting courses and support groups. parentsplus.ie

Local community centres and churches: Check out your local community groups, which may offer support groups and resources for single parents.

Ask For Help

Remember, seeking support is not a sign of weakness but a testament to your commitment to providing the best for your family. As a single parent in Ireland, you have access to various resources and benefits designed to support you in your journey.

As your coach, my role is to help you navigate these resources, develop personalised strategies for success, and support you in building a life you love for you and your children. Whether you're struggling with overwhelm, guilt, or simply looking to optimise your approach to single parenting, I'm here to help.
