Helping Families Find a Better Way Forward With Their Sons Aged 15–25.
With over 26 years of experience working with young men and their families, I provide experienced insight, clear direction and practical guidance to help families understand what needs to change and work towards a more positive future.
Damon Bachegalup. Family Intervention Consultant
The fear of losing the relationship, influence and connection you once had.
You maybe worried about your son's behaviour, the decisions he's making or the direction his life is taking. You may feel you've tried everything to help him, yet nothing seems to make a lasting difference. Conversations become difficult, relationships are under strain and you're increasingly concerned about his future. I understand how exhausting and unsettling this can be for a family, particularly when you know your son has so much potential but struggle to reach him or get him to recognise it himself.
My role is to help you make sense of what's happening, understand what needs to change and establish a practical way forward. You don't have to keep trying to work everything out on your own.
A SPECIALIST APPROACH
A More Positive Direction for Your Son and Your Family
Ultimately, families are not simply looking for someone to discuss their problems with. They want to see something change.
The work is about creating the conditions for:
Better understanding between parents and their son.
More constructive communication and relationships.
Greater personal responsibility and direction.
A clearer understanding of expectations and boundaries.
Reduced tension and a more positive family dynamic.
A practical way forward that the family can continue to build upon.
You want to communicate with him without every conversation becoming difficult. You want to rebuild trust, improve your relationship and feel more confident about his future.
You want to see him taking greater responsibility, understand what is happening in his life and feel that family life is moving in a more positive direction.
That is what my work is focused on.
When you contact me, I understand that you're not simply looking for someone to address your son's behaviour. Meaningful change requires the willingness of those involved to engage, take responsibility and act on the guidance provided.
Understanding the Situation. Identifying What Needs to Change. Moving Forward.
Before recommending an intervention, I want to understand what is happening, what has already been tried and what your family would like to change.
01. Understand the Situation
Establish what is happening, listen to the family and gain a clearer understanding of the issues and circumstances.
02. Identify What Needs to Change
Look beyond the immediate difficulties, identify contributing factors and establish where attention and intervention are needed.
03. Establish a Way Forward
Put practical guidance, appropriate interventions and clear direction in place to help the family move towards meaningful change. How I Work
A Personal Approach, Shaped Around Your Family
There is no single solution for every family.
The nature of the difficulties, your son's circumstances and what your family hopes to change will determine the most appropriate approach.
I work directly with families through private, individually structured interventions and advisory arrangements, whether online, residential or in person.
The starting point is understanding your situation, establishing what needs to change and deciding whether my involvement is appropriate.
**The approach is shaped around the family, not the other way around.**
Working with Personal Assistants, Family Offices and Trusted Advisers
I also work with personal assistants, family offices and professional representatives who are supporting families seeking experienced, discreet assistance with difficulties involving a son aged 15–25.
Whether you are making an initial enquiry on behalf of a family or coordinating support, I provide a direct and personal approach from the first conversation.
Due to the individual nature of my work and the limited number of families I work with each year, availability for new engagements is currently limited.
I am now considering enquiries for new family interventions commencing in February 2027.
All enquiries are reviewed personally, with suitability and availability considered before any consultation is offered.
