It is hard to see our children struggle or to acknowledge our struggles as parents.
Young children communicate their feelings through play, and the way they relate to adults. Understanding their communication and acknowledging their feelings is a way of making sense of how this might affect their wellbeing and specific difficulties. With adolescents and parents talking about their struggles will give an opportunity to feel understood.

Working exclusively via video call ensuring that clients feel relaxed in familiar surroundings, I work with my clients to help them to find a route through their struggles, helping them to unhook themselves from unhelpful thinking styles and strategies. From the outset my clients understand that counselling requires them to put into practice the things that we identify during our sessions - just like homework. The solutions don't come from our sessions, they come from the work that my clients put in between our sessions.

I support people to navigate a broad range of problems such as low mood, anxiety, burnout and stress, bereavement, loss, life transitions, fertility issues, parenting challenges, the effects of traumatic experiences, living with health conditions and new diagnoses, difficulty making decisions or feeling without a sense of purpose in life.
I view therapy as a collaborative project drawing on the skills and knowledge of the people consulting me. I aid this process by integrating evidence-based approaches such as narrative, compassion focused and cognitive-behavioural therapies. If it feels safe to do so, we can incorporate the knowledge and experience that is held in the body, into our work.

Is there conflict around your sex-life, fertility issues, parenting etc?
When relationships experience difficulty, couples can feel unsure what to do. You can feel alone, sad, angry, and overwhelmed. I work to help couples to understand, and to move through the painful issues and road-blocks - toward happier, supportive and fulfilling relating. The relationship and the individuals can move forward strengthened by the experience.

I value working deeply and curiously to untangle challenges in people's experiences. So often we are stuck in relationships or in situations that don't serve us. However, with support, we can find out about where these issues originate and how to move forward with compassion. I work with attachment theory to unpick relational patterns and look at reactions and choices we make in life. I work with clients' Parts to begin to understand their inner world and build new ways of communicating, growing self-esteem and confidence. I love working with clients from a base of an authentic and trusting relationship on a medium/long-term basis.

Parenting Counsellors
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.
