Charlie is a wonderful coach
Charlie was wonderful coaching me through one of the toughest times of my life when I was alienated from my son. He gave me tools to navigate through, and I trusted his guidance as he too had experienced this pain of alienation himself. I truly recommend Charlie to coach you through parental alienation. Thank you, Charlie. I appreciate you.
When I came across Charlie
When I came across Charlie, my wife and I were in a really low place. Co-parenting had always been difficult and although we thought we were doing everything right, the conflict continued to escalate and our relationship with our daughter started to feel like it was slipping away. We were served with court papers seeking full custody, we were being portrayed as neglectful and harmful parents, and although our relationship and interactions with our daughter felt positive and genuine while with her, we were constantly being told otherwise. It felt like we were living in an alternative universe. We were starting to question our own feelings and perceptions. No one seemed to understand what was happening, nor did they really know how to help us, even though they wanted to. Not lawyers, nor psychologists.
During this low point I came across Charlie on a podcast. It felt like he was speaking to me. For the first time someone seemed to understand what we were going through. What we were feeling. It was like he was telling our story. I immediately started searching online for more of his content. I listened to podcasts and interviews, and after another sleepless night, I felt compelled to reach out to him directly. I emailed him and within hours we had set up an appointment to meet via Skype.
I will never forget hearing him address us for the first time. After listening to hours of him talking online, the sound of his voice had started to represent feelings of hope, and beyond everything we have learned from him, that exactly what he provided us with, a sense of hope!
It has been a lot of work over the last year and half, and at times it has been very uncomfortable, but Charlie has helped us to grow and better understand what is happening. We have learned to change our perspectives, the way we approach parenting, the way I can support my wife as a co parent to a high conflict person, the way we support the daughter we co parent, and the way support we need to support our younger daughter that we have together. We also have learned strategies to support each other in our marriage. Charlie reminded us we need to focus on our own relationships with self, and our own wellness. Charlie reminded us that maintaining our own integrity was crucial throughout this process and provided us tools and strategies to move and process feelings and emotions. We are seeing results and growth. It continues to be difficult, and we still require reminders to reset our focus, but we continue to grow and learn together, and we have Charlie to thank for it.

Charlie has been absolutely incredible for me. When I was stuck in a rut and at a low point, he provided the perfect guidance—helping me understand where I was, why I felt that way, and exactly how to move forward. Thanks to him, I’m now in a dramatically better place, both mentally and emotionally. Charlie is not just highly skilled; he’s also a kind, patient, and deeply insightful person. I couldn’t recommend him enough.
Experienced, Empathetic and makes all the difference
I came to Charlie in a very dark place. My children had been gone for 5 months with no contact (the longest they had been away from me before this in their lives was 4 days). I was struggling with guilt, frustration, self doubt that I had caused this and had recently been admitted to hospital while planning to end my life.
Charlie agreed to work with my husband and I (who had also experienced alienation before we met). The sessions were very useful, helping me understand and come to terms with what had happened. Understand what the children were going through and how I needed to be a beacon of light for them to return to.
Charlie is kind, calm and can truly empathise with an Alienated parent. He still checks in on us, even after finishing his course, and is an ear to turn to when I need him.
Thank you Charlie for making all the difference to us and get us ready to welcome our children back when the time comes.

Working with Charlie has truly been life-changing. When I first reached out, I felt completely lost, confused, and heartbroken. I was facing a situation no parent should have to go through, being shut out of my child’s life due to manipulation and alienation. From our very first session with Charlie I felt heard, validated, and empowered. Charlie suggested doing his program with my partner which really helped with the whole process. Charlies understanding of the emotional, and psychological aspects of parental alienation gave me the clarity I desperately needed. He didn’t just offer advice he walked beside me, helping me find strength, regain my confidence, and create a strategy to stay connected to my child in healthy and hopeful ways. This support gave me more than tools, it gave me hope. My family is almost completely reunited in a matter of months and I have no hesitation in recommending Charlie in helping you to find your path forward.

The Invaluable Coaching With Charlie McCready working with Charlie in one…
I have been working with Charlie McCready in one on one weekly coaching sessions since January 2025. I have spent 10 years alienated from my daughter not understanding what happened to cause such a complete fracture in our very close relationship since going through a toxic divorce---( thinking all these years, she was just angry with me.)
Christmas, 2024 landed me at a new LOW. My daughter,( who lives with my "x") was home from college; she did not call me, did not see me, did not contact me in any way after arriving home. (she lives with her father, the alienator) I had gone to regular therapists for years, they did not understand what would have caused such a rift--- our court system and regular therapists are not informed enough to know Parental Alienation is a real and very destructive force that can operate when there is a high conflict divorce. I started looking on line for more specific help--- luckily I found charliemccready.com. (Parental Alienation Coach) With his guidance, and his direction i have been slowly and steadily rebuilding a relationship again with my daughter. His thoughtful and safe sessions, his recorded testimonials of other alienated children and their experiences, his organized weekly handouts, his pertinent homework, and his many varied posts on his website have all been valuable resources to help me understand the coercive manipulations that brought us to this fractured place. He has helped me immeasurably in a short time begin to rebuild connection and love with my daughter. I couldn't be more grateful for all he has done and doing for this important mother/daughter bond. Parental Alienation is real and insidious; he has helped me understand the components that were operating to tear my daughter and myself apart--- he is helping me build our relationship again, and helping me in the process become healthier. He is and has been instrumental in bringing us back together--- I would not be making this progress without his insights, patience and clarity about the emotional and psychological abuse my daughter and I have both been suffering. I cannot support his work enough, he is invaluable to me and others, to the field of psychology and hopefully to the broader understanding of Parental Alienation within our court systems. There is nobody like Charlie McCready. I recommend him 200%.
Recommendation for one to one coaching.
I contacted Charlie for one to one coaching when I was at my all time low, as a mother who has been alienated from her only child.
Charlie helped me understand the behaviours that drive alienation and how best for me to respond.
He spoke to me in an understanding and sympathetic manner and gave more more time than the appointment allowed.
Charlie has been an alienated parent himself and so is also able to draw on personal experience and can truly be empathetic.
He gave me hope and reinstated confidence in myself that I am a good person and a good mother and was in the situation from no fault of my own.
I am pleased to say that, thankfully, I have now reconnected with my daughter and we are slowly rebuilding our relationship.
Charlie has been a great help in counselling me through the challenges this brings.
I would whole heartedly recommended Charlie for one to one coaching.

I found working with Charlie McCready a truly positive and transformative experience. From the very beginning, Charlie brought incredible insight, empathy, and expertise to our sessions. His understanding of parental alienation is spot on.
His calm, encouraging manner made it easy to open up and engage with the process, even during the most challenging moments.
Charlie’s guidance has been invaluable. I’ve come away from our work together with a much clearer understanding of the dynamics at play and the tools to navigate them more confidently. I truly can’t recommend him enough to anyone dealing with parental alienation. He is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely committed to helping people move forward.

I met Charlie 12 months and from the first moment we met I felt understood and heard. Charlie is an incredible man full of love, empathy and compassion. He is extremely knowledgeable and the tools my wife and I have gained have helped us tremendously. He has made himself available on the same day for me when I have been doing it tough, which I am so grateful for. My son is back thank goodness after 18months without contact, however now dealing with my middle daughter (11) being alienated. I am continuing my sessions with Charlie to continue my growth and awareness of parental alienation and equip myself to help my children. Cannot recommend him and his service enough! Need more people like you in this world, thank you so much Charlie!! Lots of love from Melbourne, Australia. Nik & Laz
I will forever be grateful for Charlie
Charlie completely changed my life. He helped me navigate one of the hardest experiences any parent could ever have to deal with. I’d worked with different psychologists and other health professionals - no one compares to Charlie. He gave me constructive and helpful tools to not only understand but navigate things and turn my life around. I will forever be grateful for Charlie.
Well worth it
Charlie really helped me shortly after my son rejected me. I was on a rollercoaster of emotions and Charlie helped me get off that. He gave me the skills to cope day to day and empowered me to channel my negativity into positive things instead. It's the hardest thing I've ever gone through, Charlie validated my experience and helped me to understand why it happens to parents. He didn't sugar coat my situation or give me unhelpful platitudes, he gave me realistic strategies that set me up for the journey of rebuilding. Charlie gave me the confidence to face my situation head on rather than worrying if everything I say and do is pushing my son further away. Possibly the best investment in my family I've ever made.
Charlie was awesome to deal with
Charlie was awesome to deal with. I'm in Australia, and he is on the other side of the world to me, and it was too easy and such a pleasure. Definitely highly recommend anything Charlie offers for sale and education. 5 STAR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
