Therefore therapy is not a 'one size fits all'. I draw on years of experience as a therapist and I integrate approaches so that the therapeutic space is centred on you and your needs.

You may be feeling lost in your relationship, overwhelmed by emotion, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change. Perhaps you’ve lost yourself while caring for others, struggle to communicate, or long for deeper connection but don’t know where to begin. My clients often want clarity, steadiness, and a healthier way of relating — both to themselves and to the people they love. They’re ready to understand their patterns, strengthen their voice, and feel more secure and grounded in their relationships.

This is your service & you are paying for it. I always say our 1st appointment is about you taking charge, coming in & meeting me & deciding if this is going to be a good fit. If it is that's great, if its not and you feel comfortable to say this I will be delighted to recommend a colleague. I will fully support you in this. I take each person as they come and we work together at their pace. Everyone needs and deserves support.

Trauma doesn't always look like crisis. Sometimes it looks like coping so well that no one, including you, notices what it's costing. I work with women and mothers who are exhausted from holding it together, and ready for things to actually shift. My clients often function well on the outside while carrying anger, anxiety, or exhaustion they can't fully explain. They've usually already done the work of understanding themselves - what they want now is real, lasting change, not more insight.

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.
