Raising children can be a joy and a struggle. I provide counselling and support to parents and carers who may be struggling with issues around their children and/or adolescents.
My work involves supporting parents and carers to navigate challenges along with providing practical strategies for both themselves and young people.
Common issues that I work with include:
- School refusal and other withdrawing behaviours
- Risk taking behaviours and addiction including substance abuse
- Challenging behaviours including anger, impulsivity and conflict
- Managing social media and internet use
- Eating disorders and disordered eating
- Body image issues
- Learning difficulties
- Coping with relationship or marriage breakdown
- Mental illness and its impacts
