Parent Counselling

Feeling overwhelmed, uncertain about how to communicate with your children, or anticipating another challenging moment? Perhaps your teenager seems distant or exhibits disrespectful behavior? Maybe you find yourself resorting to yelling, feeling like nothing else is effective. I want you to understand that your child's struggles are not a reflection of your shortcomings. However, you hold the power to instigate positive change and provide invaluable support for your loved ones.

15-minute consultation to determine if we're the right fit for you

Do you want to make changes and not know where to begin? Maybe you feel like a not good enough parent? We all have those days!

​

As a mother, I get that. I understand how it feels. I have been there myself. Sometimes it takes more than Parenting 101 or intuitive parenting, and we need advanced skills in order to help our loved ones to navigate the challenges. Parenting support is based on evidence-based practices and utilizes Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).

Areas of concern:

  • Family Dynamics

  • Life Transitions

  • Responding to Tears

  • Clinging Behaviours

  • Establishing routines

  • Mother's Guilt

  • Homework Stress

  • Yelling

  • Getting Kids to Cooperate

  • Talking Back

  • Setting Limits

Upcoming Caregiver Workshop

If you're interested in learning more about how to support your child with greater confidence and connection, we invite you to add your name to our interest list. You'll be the first to hear when we offer our next caregiver workshop, and you're welcome to let us know your preference for an in-person or online format so we can better meet your needs.
