Teri Potter

Teri Potter is a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, Conscious Parenting Coach, creator of SAFE Practice and Co-host of podcast - ‘On Navigating the Abyss - Parenting Alchemy for Kids in Crisis’ Her work was born from both personal and professional experience after navigating her own daughter’s severe mental health challenges, including self-harm, suicidal thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and school trauma. Like many parents, she found herself searching for answers while trying to stay present through fear, uncertainty, and helplessness. Drawing on trauma-informed practice, attachment theory, nervous system awareness, Compassionate Inquiry, IFS and Conscious Parenting, Teri supports parents in moving from reactivity and self-blame toward greater connection, compassion, and emotional steadiness. Having experienced her own journey through childhood disconnection, emotional struggle, and healing, she brings warmth, honesty, and deep empathy to her work. Her approach is grounded in a simple belief: children heal through safe relationships, and parents deserve support, understanding, and compassion too. Teri lives on the south coast of England with her husband, daughter, and dog, and is passionate about helping parents feel less alone as they navigate some of the most challenging moments family life can bring.
