Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
Working with teens & their families has given me extensive experience in supporting parents. This has included providing information & knowledge on how best to support their parenting. Every parent does the best they can & the guidance I provide is centered around how parents they can adapt & improve their parenting rather than blaming or criticizing. Its important that parents feel comfortable to work with me in a collaborative way otherwise their is no room for change so I focus on building a relationship with parents where they feel safe and comfortable to share experiences and work with me. No parent is perfect & usually working in improving parenting is about learning how best to support your kids & their individual, & collective, needs.

Ashley Horsley
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MA, Post MA Dip, BPS Accred
A mother needs to be only good enough, said the brilliant Winnicott many years ago. We, as parents, will never be perfect. But we need only to be good enough. I can help you learn how to be the best version of yourself with your kids which includes really understanding what children in general, and your child in particular, need and needs. And what you need too which sometimes, if not often, gets forgotten in this dynamic.

Registered Psychotherapist, Rev, DD (hon), DMin, Various Dips & Certs.
Parenting problems need wisdom to resolve not just techniques. Super Nanny I am not. But a wise father I am. Parenting needs to be armed with information and training to deal with situations used to come from the elders who were treated as wise and respected as such whereas nowadays the knowledge gained form the internet does not teach application only gives knowledge and this is where we need to work more to help assimilate the knowledge and using what we now know fo the mind brain interface and child development we are more informed and can with help become better parents and teachers and leaders to children and adolescents.
