What Kind Of Mum Are You?

Discover Your Unique Parenting Archetype in Just 5 Minutes

Feeling like you're not the mum you thought you'd be?

You love your children deeply, but some days you barely recognise yourself. You've tried following advice from books, friends, and family, but nothing seems to fit quite right.

Here's what I've learned as a counsellor supporting mothers: There's no single "right" way to be a mum.

Every mother has her own natural strengths, unique challenges, and instinctive way of nurturing. When you understand and embrace YOUR type, parenting becomes less about perfection and more about connection.

How It Works:

Step 1: Thoughtfully answer 20 reflective questions about your mothering journey

Step 2: Receive your personalised mum archetype with compassionate insights

Step 3: Get an evidence-based strategy you can try with your family today

Want deeper support? Email me your results and I'll send you a comprehensive outline of your type, including therapeutic insights and additional strategies designed specifically for your mothering style.

What Mothers Are Sharing:

"Claire's quiz helped me see that I wasn't 'doing it wrong' - I was just being me. For the first time in years, I felt like I could breathe as a mum." - J, Mum of 2​

​"The strategy I received was so simple but made such a difference in how I connect with my kids. It felt like coming home to myself." - K, Mum of 3​

​"I wish every mum could take this quiz. It's like having a gentle counselling session that leaves you feeling understood and empowered." - C, Mum of 1

Ready to Embrace Your Authentic Mothering Style?

As a qualified counsellor who works with mothers every day, I've seen how transformative it can be when women stop trying to be the "perfect" mum and start honouring who they truly are.

Your mothering style isn't something to fix - it's something to understand, appreciate, and nurture.

About This Quiz

This assessment draws from my professional experience as an accredited counsellor specialising in supporting women and mothers. The four archetypes reflect common patterns I observe in my therapeutic practice, each with their own beautiful strengths and growth opportunities.

​

Remember: Every result is valuable. There are no "good" or "bad" types - only different ways of expressing your love and care for your children.

Frequently Asked Questions:
