When your child's having a hard time and you don't know what to do, all you need to do is... 

Receive empathic, practical help whenever you need it, just as if you were chatting with me

Yes – I'd LOVE this!

You know the feeling:

Your child is screaming, or crying, or refusing the one simple thing you've asked.

You're overwhelmed, and every helpful thing you've ever learned has just gone out of your head.

In that moment, you just need someone who gets it.

Imagine having me on speed-dial

Type your question and receive an answer straight away, right when you need it.  

Ask Helena is a chat tool. An AI version of me, trained only on my work.

How it works

Type what's happening

Like messaging a friend. Whatever's going on, big or small.

Get a warm, helpful answer back

Calm, practical help in my words, right when you need it

Feel less alone

Respond more confidently to your child, and carry on with your day

See it in action:

Just type what's going on 

Like messaging a friend. No problem too small, nothing you can't ask.

There day or night

The 5pm meltdown, the 2am wake-up. The moment you need it, not weeks later.

Only ever my approach

Trained on my work alone. No Time Outs, or leaving them to cry. Ever.

Hi, I'm Helena Mooney, a Certified Parenting Coach with over 15 years' experience helping families.


My whole approach is built on one idea: a child who's being challenging isn't doing it on purpose. They're doing it because their upset feelings have become overwhelming, and they need your help to come back to thinking clearly and behaving well again.


It's playful and practical, built on connection, laughter, and meeting what's really going on underneath. And it actually works.


Aware Parenting and Hand in Hand Parenting are at the heart of it all. Gentler than the old reward-and-punishment approach, but far more effective than "gentle parenting" alone.

This approach has already changed families' lives

These families worked with me directly. Ask Helena puts that exact same approach in your pocket.

We started seeing changes within a week! After just a few sessions of play, she's going to school with shoes and socks on. Her confidence is starting to soar.

It was empowering, life changing, and has dramatically improved my relationship with my boys. Their behaviour is much better, and I feel more in control.

Rebecca, Mum to 2 boys

❝

It's helped our family really meet our children where they're at. It's allowed me to look at my own triggers too.


It's been a fabulous journey, thank you!

"An AI bot? Isn't that the opposite of connection?"

As a conscious parent, I imagine you might be feeling exactly this. Because everything we believe in is about human connection.

So let me reassure you. Ask Helena is not here to connect with your child. That's your job, and it always will be.

It's here to help you.

It's a bit like when I worked as a Doula. Many dads worried I'd take over their role and get in the way of them being with their partner and new baby. But the opposite was true. I was there to help with the small things, the cups of tea, the ice packs, so they could be even more present, not less.

Ask Helena is the same. In the moment it all goes wrong, when you're depleted and about to snap, it steadies you. So you can turn back to your child with warmth instead of an overwhelmed mind.

It doesn't replace connection. It protects it.

And parents already love Ask Helena

I've been using the chatbot a TON actually. TBH I didn't think I would because AI bots do freak me out a decent amount, but dang it if I didn't honestly love it!

Being able to type my worries in and get firstly the compassion and honesty, "oh, this is so normal / age appropriate", was always what I needed to hear.

Then actual practical advice after, like great game ideas for my husband travelling, sleep time struggles, etc. It was super helpful!!

All in all I really have loved the opportunity to use it, and it was the help I needed to move through this little dip/tough season we were in. I was honestly just fixating so much on all these tiny little annoying behaviours and beating myself up and losing confidence.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to use it and the relief it provided.

This is brilliant.  I felt like I was talking to you directly.

This is not generic ChatGPT advice

With ChatGPT you can ask it anything, and it answers using the whole internet, including all the advice I suggest you stay well clear of.

Ask Helena is completely different. It only knows MY work. My teaching, my videos, my words and nothing else.

That's the part I love most. Because it means you'll never get:

"Have you tried a reward chart?"

"Set firm boundaries and stay consistent."

An overwhelming list of ten things to try

It understands what I understand:

  • Behaviour reflects your child's emotional state
  • Connection is always the answer
  • You need support too

Safe, consistent, and completely aligned with how you want to parent.

Here for when you need it

  • The 5pm meltdown when you've got nothing left
  • The supermarket floor, when everyone staring
  • The bedtime that's turned into a battle, again
  • The morning you've already shouted and you feel awful about it
  • The 2am wake-up, the house dark, everyone else asleep
  • The breakthrough you want to tell someone about, but who'd really get it?
  • The quiet worry that won't leave you alone: "am I getting this wrong"?

You're not getting it wrong. You're just doing one of the hardest jobs there is, often on not enough sleep.


And now you don't have to do it alone.  I'm always there, by your side

What it's brilliant for, and what it isn't

Ask Helena is fantastic for the everyday moments when you just need someone who gets it.

It won't replace the deeper work we do together in real sessions, looking at your own feelings, your history, the things that can cause you to react harshly. That work is best done with me directly, in my Connection & Play Membership or 1:1 mentoring.

But for those everyday moments when you just need a steadying hand? Ask Helena is exactly what you've been wishing for.

How many courses have you bought, and never finished?

I hear this all the time. We buy the course, full of good intentions, and life gets in the way. It sits there, half-watched, one more thing to feel guilty about.

Ask Helena is different. There's nothing to finish.

No modules, no homework, no falling behind. Just real help in the moment you actually need it, on the days that feel hard and the days that feel lovely.

Less than the cost of one coffee a week

Fortnightly mentoring with me is £297/month. Worth every penny (obviously!), but I know it's not something everyone can do whenever things get hard.

Ask Helena gives you instant support, just as I'd chat with you in person, for a tiny fraction of that.

Normally £35 a month

£19/month

My launch price. Cancel any time, no questions asked.

 Yes - I want Ask Helena!

And if AI still feels a bit weird to you…

I completely understand. I felt exactly the same.

So here's all I'll say: just try it once and see. Type in the thing that's been hard this week, and see how it feels to be met with warmth instead of facing it alone.

So come on in and give it a try!

A Few Quick Questions

What ages is it for?

Parents of children from babies right through to around age ten or eleven.

Is this just ChatGPT with my name on it?

No. It only knows my work, grounded in Aware Parenting and Hand in Hand Parenting. It can't give you generic advice, because none of that is inside it.

Will it replace working with you directly?

No, and it's not meant to. It helps you in the everyday moments. For the deeper work, that's where my membership and 1:1 sessions come in.

Will it replace connection with my child?

Never. It's here to steady you, so you can connect with them. It protects connection, it doesn't replace it.

Can I cancel?

Any time. No questions asked.

Is the £19 price forever?

£19 is my launch price. The regular price is £35 a month, so now's the perfect time to come on in.

You don't have to do this alone any more

I'd love to be there for you, in the thick of it, whenever you need me.
