You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or caught in patterns you don’t fully understand. Perhaps anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, or relationship difficulties are weighing on you. You might notice yourself becoming reactive, shutting down in conflict, or repeating dynamics that leave you feeling frustrated or hurt. You may be wanting relief, but also deeper clarity — to better understand yourself, feel more emotionally steady, strengthen your relationships, and move forward with greater confidence. Most of all, you may be looking for a space where you can feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood without judgment

Margo Weekes
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General
Spring Hill, QLD 4000
I work with people who may also be experiencing issues related to anxiety or stress, burnout, life transitions, feeling sad or low, difficulties with self expression or assertiveness, self confidence, relationship difficulties, or parenting challenges.
I am passionate about supporting others to live a more meaningful life and deepen their connection within themselves and their relationships. My approach is curious, compassionate and collaborative. Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore your experiences together, supporting you to know and accept yourself more fully, and reconnect with your innate values, vitality, and agency. I often work with people who may come across as capable and doing ok externally, but inside might be struggling with anxiety, self doubt, internalised emotions, or not feeling as fulfilled in their life or relationships as they'd like.

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.
