We all need support, no-one can do life on their own. For 20 years I have been supporting people dealing with life issues. When we build a solid foundation from the ground up, we can let go of the overwhelm, from there we are just moving along the conveyer belt dealing with life as it gets presented. Building a solid foundation that can withstand the hick-ups. The more we choose to deal with the more solid our foundation becomes. This is where the work begins.

Perhaps you’re trying to live life in a world that doesn’t feel okay. Your mind doesn’t switch off. You overthink things, feel stuck in familiar patterns, or are hard on yourself no matter how much you do. You might feel disconnected, burnt out or quietly struggling with the weight of life and the world around you. I work with people who feel deeply & think deeply - people trying to cope with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship challenges, grief or the sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves while still trying to keep going. This is not about labelling you or “fixing” you.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
