Parents

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
